Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Not everyone can take the heat, especially if it involves extreme embarrassment. Such is the fate of Gab Valenciano, son of Filipino singer Gary Valenciano.

Many will recall that embarrassing performance of Gab, singing and dancing to a tune exhorting the impending presidency and vice presidency of Leni Robredo and Kiko Pangilinan.

Well the rest is history. Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte won the elections by a landslide.

Today Gab announced he was moving (back) to Los Angeles. For good.

Good for him!
