AGT Finals: Marcelito Pomoy Will Sing The Star-spangled Banner

LOS ANGELES, California (The Adobo Chronicles, Los Angeles Bureau) – There has been a lot of speculation on what song Filipino Marcelito Pomoy will sing during the finals of America’s Got Talent (AGT). 

In the semi-final episode of the reality show, judge Simon Cowell challenged Pomoy to take a bigger risk and sing something that will  better showcase his dual talent of belting out songs in both male and female voices.

The Adobo Chronicles  has learned that Pomoy, for his ultimate performance, will sing The Star-spangled Banner, otherwise known as the U.S. National Anthem.

It is widely acknowledged that the song is one of the most challenging for even the seasoned singers because of the voice range required to perform it.

Pomoy will sing the anthem mimicking the late Whitney Houston and Luther Vandross — both of whom have performed the song at the Super Bowl to much acclaim.

It will be a performance that would surely elicit a standing ovation from the judges and audience!

 

 

 

Final Episode Of “Ang Probinsyano” Airs March 30, New Teleserye Planned

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – The longest-running teleserye on Philippine television will finally come to an end!

FPJ’s “Ang Probinsyano” which started airing in September of 2015 on ABS-CBN, will bow out with its final epidsode on March 30, 2020, coinciding with the franchise expiration of the broadcast network owned by the Lopez oligarchy.

While there are desperate efforts to convince Congress to renew the franchise, including an online petition started by the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP), the producers of the popular teleserye said that they’ve all but run out of script ideas to keep it going.

One of the mainstays of the show, Miss Susan Roces, mother of Senator Grace Poe, told The Adobo Chronicles that in the final episode, the main character Cardo, played by Coco Martin, will finally die — killed by the bad elements.

Sources close to the powers that be at ABS-CBN said that should the network’s franchise be renewed, the plan is to start an all-new, improved teleserye titled “Six In The City,” starring Vice Ganda, Lea Salonga, Anne Curtis, Agot Isidro, Ogie Alcasid, and Mutya Ng Masa Doris Bigornia.

Senator Grace Poe Bats For Partial Renewal Of ABS-CBN Franchise

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) –  Senator Grace Poe is being true to form both as an advocate against fake news and a loving daughter to the late Fernando Poe, Jr. (FPJ).

Today, she filed a Senate resolution calling for the partial renewal of ABS-CBN’s franchise which expires this March.

The divisive issue pits those who are for the non-renewal of the franchise against those who are for renewal.

Poe wants to renew the entertainment portion of the franchise while cancelling the broadcast network’s news operations.

ABS-CBN, besides being cited for tax evasion and violation of labor laws, is also accused of being a purveyor of fake, biased news.

”We must continue our crusade against fake news, but we also need to seriously consider the feelings of millions of Filipinos who follow the long-running FPJ’s “Ang Probinsyano” and other teleseryes and variety shows on ABS-CBN,” Poe told The Adobo Chronicles.
