MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – For the longest time, Filipinos and foreigners have wondered who is the man behind the popular Jollibee fast food chain. He has always gone with just his first name.
Thanks to the National ID program of the Philippine government, Jollibee applied and received (after almost two years) his official identification document.
An overzealous employee at the Philippine Statistics Authority leaked Jollibee’s surname and middle initial to the media. Now, Jollibee has no choice but go public.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau).

The Adobo Chronicles sought ideas from our readers and other netizens so as not to waste money that has been invested in face masks.
We are publishing just a few of the ideas we have received — from underwear to pillow and mattress filling, from decorative knee pads for denim pants to fashionable bags and purses.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Filipinos are all too familiar with shops selling used clothing and other items. They’re known as Ukay-Ukay or Wagwagan.
But who’d expect to find used condoms at these retail outlets? Well, the police did.
Manila police raided an Ukay-Ukay in Divisoria after receiving a tip that the store was selling used, triple-washed, albeit sanitized, condoms. The items were apparently smuggled into the country from San Francisco, California.
Some 69 boxes were seized and the owner of the shop brought to the police station for questioning.
