MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – TV host Vice Ganda and her noontime show, “It’s Showtime!” seem to be the target of summons these days.
First, his show’s producers were summoned by the Movie and Television Review and Classifications Board (MTRCB) for that one episode where Vice and Ion Perez were shown erotically licking cake icing in front of young kids. MTRCB subsequently imposed a 12-day suspension for the show.
Now, Vice has been summoned by the Bureau of Internal Revenue after he revealed in an interview with ride-hailing and delivery app company CEO George Royeca, that he made so much wealth he couldn’t count it anymore.
The BIR summons seeks to establish whether or not Vice Ganda has been paying his taxes, or the correct amount.
Moral of the story: don’t flaunt you wealth on national television or social media. The BIR is watching!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In a shocking turn of events, former Senator Kiko Pangilinan and his daughter Kakie have made headlines for their audacious decision not to attend the much-anticipated Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion concert at the MOA arena.
The nation collectively gasped as the dynamic duo opted for an evening of binge-watching reruns of parliamentary sessions instead of relishing the nostalgia of Sharon and Gabby’s on-screen romance.
Clearly, this is a display of unparalleled dedication to politics over pop culture.
While fans swooned to the melodious tunes of “Sana’y Wala Nang Wakas,” the Pangilinans must have been deep in discussion about agricultural reform.
What a missed opportunity to prioritize karaoke over legislation! One can only hope they’ll find time to catch up on the latest showbiz gossip during the next filibuster.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – PTV 4 and IBC 13 are reportedly in negotiations with TV host Willie Revillame to bring him in to the government networks.
“So we bring in Willie Revillame – it will be more of a program that will cater to entertainment to the lowest of the lowest among the people,” says IBC 13 President and CEO Jose C. Policarpio, Jr.
As if Filipino audiences need more slapstick shows like EAT BULAGA, Everybody Sing, and It’s Showtime, PTV 4 and IBC 13 are bent on contributing to the dumbing of Filipino TV audiences… at the expense of taxpayers!
