BAGUIO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Baguio City Bureau) – The Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) has had its share of instant celebrities from among its citizens who were just doing their jobs as vegetable farmers and workers.
Many Filipinos are familiar with Carrot Man and Cabbage Man who caught the nation’s attention because of their good looks.
Now, a new sensation is on the horizon. We’re calling him Chilly Man
Like Carrot Man and Cabbage Man, he was caught on candid camera carrying a load of his produce — chilli peppers. But truth be told, his produce were not really newly-harvested chillies. Rather, bottled chilli vinaigrette which he sells in his Baguio-based Café Tam Tam.
Will he be the next celebrity sensation on GMA 7, or the defunct ABS-CBN?
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – As that viral marquee sign says, McDonald’s is the world’s no. 1 except in the Philippines where it can’t beat that big, fat, smiling bee (Jollibee). Not even the recent incident of the crispy-fried Chicken Joy can change that.
Now, McDonald’s is trying a new business strategy. It is merging with Mang Inasal, the famous Filipino grilled meat restaurant famous for its unli rice (unlimited rice).
The merger is a big boost to local employment since workers can now do a morning shift at McDonald’s and work the evening shift at Mang Inasal, as shown by this photo of a dual employee:
A McDonald’s spokesperson told The Adobo Chronicles that Mang Inasal will eventually renamed McInasal.
BONIFACIO GLOBAL CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Makati City Bureau) – The marketing gurus of Jollibee Foods Corporation really know their stuff.
When Jollibee BGC reopens after being shut down for 3 days because of the “crispy-fried towel” incident, it will be handing out free hand towels for every purchase of Chicken Joy.
With this reopening promotion, Jollibee BGC hopes to regain customer confidence after that unfortunate fiasco.
The Jollibee manager who spoke to The Adobo Chronicles said, “The joke is on us, hope that we all leave the incident behind us.”
