MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Malacañang has announced that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte will embark on a three-nation state visit to the Middle East this coming Holy Week.
It is expected that Duterte will discuss various issues that concern Filipino overseas workers in the Muslim countries while seeking to attract more investments in the Philippines just like he did in his previous state visits to various countries in the Asian region.
However, Duterte critics are already saying that this time, the president will not “bring home the bacon 🥓 ”
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – IKEA, the popular ready-to-assemble furniture and home appliances giant, will soon open its very first store in the Philippines, as confirmed by Swedish Ambassador Harald Fries.
But Fries said the Philippine store will be like no other.
In an effort to utilize indigenous materials and promote products that reflect the true identity of the Philippines, IKEA will be showcasing and selling do-it-yourself items that include:
Bahay Kubo
Giant Spoon and Fork Woodcarved Wall Decor
Woodcarved Giant Hand Chairs
Rice Dispenser
Last Supper Wall Frames
Easy-to-assemble karaoke machines
IKEA said it will continue to explore items that it will be showcasing, including furniture, appliances and home accessories made of sea shells, bamboo, rattan — even leather shoes and flipflops made in Marikina.
It’s more fun in the Philippines. IKEA will make it all the more fun!

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Cristeta Comerford is a Filipino-American chef who has been the White House Executive Chef since 2005. She is the first woman and first person of Asian descent to hold the post. After serving under two presidents, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, she is finally hanging up her chef cap.
President Donald Trump has just handed Comerford her pink slip.
White House senior aide Kellyanne Conway told The Adobo Chronicles that the new president doesn’t really need an executive chef since his favorite meal for both lunch and dinner is a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken with a side of cole slaw and mashed potato. With gravy of course.
It is rumored that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has offered Comerford the position of Malacañang (the Philippine presidential palace) Executive Chef.
Comerford has not formally responded to Duterte’s offer.
