Every now and then, we receive awesome feedback — both positive and negative — from readers and followers of The Adobo Chronicles. This one’s a classic example. We thank the netizen who came to our defense with this smart and super-hilarious comment. As soon as we have a job opening, we’ll definitely hire you! Don’t call us. We’ll call you.
QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Now you see it, now you don’t. And will you ever see it again?
This is the curious case of senatorial candidate and Parañaque City Councilor Alma Moreno’s Twitter Account.
The ex-film actress has been busy posting comments on her account in the days leading up to and after Monday’s Philippine elections.
Some of her popular tweets:
“Whoever wins tomorrow will be declared the winner”
“@Comelec, sana next election, bunutan na lang” (hopefully, next election will be determined by a raffle drawing)
“I conceive. Good night!” (When she conceded defeat)
But today, Moreno’s fans and followers who tried to visit her Twitter page got a strange message that her account has been suspended.
Did Twitter suspend her account because her posts were offensive to the Filipinos? Or did she voluntarily close her account because she could not cope with the unbelievable page traffic she was getting?
Moreno could not be reached for comment.
Everyone now knows that Moreno lost her senatorial bid by a landscape… we mean by a landslide.
HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – It has long been rumored that a remake of the 1993 film, “Joy Luck Club” was about to go into production, with the Asian American community eagerly anticipating to once again see Amy Tan’s novel on the big screen.
The film’s story line features a series of flashbacks in which four young Chinese women born in America and their respective mothers born in feudal China, explore their past. This search will help them understand their difficult mother/daughter relationship.
The original cast included Asian American actresses Kieu Chinh, Tsai Chin, France Nuyen and Lisa Lu as the mothers; and Ming-Na Wen, Tamlyn Tomita, Lauren Tom and Rosalind Chao as the daughters.
Today, Hollywood Pictures confirmed the rumors and announced it would start filming in early June for theater release on Christmas Day this year.
The production company said that because of the lack of Asian and Asian American actresses in Hollywood, it has assembled a powerhouse cast who will be playing the mothers. They are: Tilda Swinton, Emma Stone, Laura Dern and Patricia Arquette.
Hollywood Pictures did not reveal who will play the daughters, but it is rumored that Jennifer Lawrence will play one of them.
In addition to going for best actress and best supporting actress Oscar nominations, Hollywood Pictures is confident the remake will win big in costume and make-up.
