WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – House Speaker Paul Ryan today categorically denied that he screwed an altar boy.
Ryan was reacting to a statement by entertainment personality Rosie O’Donnel, who said that Ryan is going “straight to hell.” O’Donnel was referring to the tax plan recently passed in Congress, courtesy of Ryan and the Republicans.
What Ryan didn’t realize is that he misread O’Donnel’s statement.
Here is what Rosie actually said:
SINGAPORE (The Adobo Chronicles, Singapore Bureau) – Fans and judges have spoken and the nine finalists in Season 2 of “Asia’s Got Talent” (AGT) have been named, three of them from the Philippines.
After receiving angry complaints from all over Asia, producers of AGT have announced today that next year’s season will not have any Filipino contestants.
”Filipinos are too talented and this creates an unfair advantage by Pinoys over talents from other Asian countries,” the producers said.
”We will reassess the situation in the next few years to see if we can again accept talents from the Philippines,” they added.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Citing threats to freedom of expression and the “disinformation campaigns” waged by forces funded by taxpayer money, a group of artists, writers, journalists and media workers has served notice to the Duterte administration of their plan to be a “Lodi.”
This six-member group is tagging itself as an alliance that is expected to scrutinize or fact-check pronouncements from Mr. Duterte, his aides or his supporters who command an online following.
LODI stands for “Let’s Organize for Democracy and Integrity.” Members include Joel Lamangan, Sari Dalena, Inday Espina Varona, Tonyo Cruz, Bonifacio Ilagan and Juana Change.
Today, however, LODI faces a backlash — and a class-action lawsuit — from Filipino netizens who originally came up with the term “lodi.”
Unless you’ve been hibernating, you know that “lodi” in social media parlance means ‘idol’ (spelled backwards).
The lawsuit charges that the group of artists and media personalities committed an act of plagiarism when they chose to name their group LODI.
One netizen commented that the group capitalized on the term so that they would look ‘young and cool’ contrary to their more senior persona. “By filing this class-action lawsuit, we hope to take back the word ‘lodi’ from these opportunists,” he said.
