EC6B9C8C-2F57-4479-8C8A-09CF53ACA110MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Considered one of the major figures in the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution that toppled the regime of Ferdinand E. Marcos, ex-President Fidel Ramos, 89,  has found a new calling: a fashion trendsetter.

During the commemoration of 32nd anniversary of EDSA 1, Ramos showed up in an avant-garde get up: a white undershirt on top of his purple t-shirt.

Most, if not all people wear undershirts — well, under their dress shirts or t-shirts.  It is quite common especially in tropical countries as a way to keep perspiration in check and not ruin the dress shirt.

Expect Filipino millennials to follow Ramos’ lead and start wearing undershirts on the outside instead of inside.

An investigation conducted by The Adobo Chronicles points to something that happened at the Senate yesterday, when Special Assistant to the President Bong Go testified in the inquiry of the Navy Frigate deal.

Go was accused by the news media of intervening in the purchase of the warships.

But it was not Go’s eloquent testimony that caught the attention of Filipino netizens.  It was his fashion sense.  He wore several rubber bands on his wrist.

Reportedly a millionaire, Go chose the cheap bands over gold bracelets during his Senate appearance.

Since then, fans of Go as well as the fashionistas started flocking to stores to get their supply of rubber bands.

Shall we call this the People’s fashion?

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Client records are always confidential, but plastic-surgeon-to-the-stars Dr. Vicki Belo promised to make public the names of all her clients who have undergone artificial physical transformation.

Belo made this announcement in protest against the new TRAIN (Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion) law which institutes changes in income tax.

The lady doctor said TRAIN will kill the country’s cosmetics and aesthetics industry, including medical tourism.

Belo said her extensive client list includes not just people in the entertainment sector but also politicians and their immediate family.

She says she is releasing her client list to show the expansive negative impact TRAIN would have not only on her business but on people’s basic human right to be more beautiful.
