MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In a new Social Weather Stations (SWS), the Filipino people are showing grave concern about President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, telling him, “You’ve Gone Too Far.”
Eight five percent of survey respondents agreed that the controversial leader needs to slow down.
“We can’t take it anymore,” the Filipinos said, “having free health insurance, free medicines, free education, free irrigation for our farmers, free nutritious food for our poor kids, increased pension and more work security. Please give his some time to breath before you come up with more good news for us. We’re not used to this.”
NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – President-elect Donald Trump today reiterated his intention to bring back the greeting ‘Merry Christmas,’ one of his many campaign promises.
Waging his war on political correctness, Trump said that beginning next year, he will ban greetings like ‘Happy Hanukkah,’ ‘Happy Kwanzaa,’ and ‘Maligayang Pasko.’
Although ‘Maligayang Pasko’ is merely a Filipino (Tagalog) translation of ‘Merry Christmas,’ Trump said, “Still, if you’re in America, do as the Americans do. Speak English.”
So to our Filipino readers in America, we say — for the last time — Maligayang Pasko!
NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Either Hollywood actors Kal Penn and Dave Patel are twin brothers separated at birth, or they are one and the same person.
The Wall Street Journal’s Pulitzer Prize winning film reviewer, Joe Morgenstern recently wrote a piece on the movie ‘Lion,’ which stars Patel (Slumdog Millionnare), Nicole Kidman and Rooney Mara.
In his review, Morgenstern called Patel’s performance his best since ‘The Namesake.’
The problem is, Patel wasn’t it that movie. It was Penn (Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle) who was.
All Asians look alike. You better believe it, coming from a Pulitzer Prize winner.
