Joel Lamangan, Vince Tañada To Co-Direct New Marcos Film!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The reviews are in, and both anti-Marcos films, “Ako Si Ninoy” and “Oras De Peligro” are being described by critics as mediocre. Box office receipts for the flicks by Vince Tañada and Joel Lamangan, respectively, are equally very disappointing.

But when at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. And do it in tandem.

Today, Tañada and Lamangan jointly announced that they will co-direct a new upcoming film on the Marcos Martial Law, based on the book by self-appointed investigative journalist and social media Marites, Raissa Robles, “Marcos Martial Law: Never Again.”

The new venture us being seen as the greatest and most factual full-length feature film ever on the Marcoses.

Two heads are better than one!

Eat Bulaga’s Tito, Vic and Joey To Rebrand As ‘Mga Batang Kyusi!’

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – When a television show gets tired and old, it’s time to re-brand. That’s what happened to Coco Martin, star of the longest-running Pinoy teleserye, “Ang Probinsyano” when he re-branded as “Batang Quiapo.”

Now, the equally long-running noon-time TV series, “Eat Bulaga” is also re-branding and will be re-titled “Mga Batang Kyusi.” (Kyusi is the colloquial term for Quezon City).

The new show will still be headlined by Tito, Vic and Joey and but it wasn’t clear what new format or new spiels are to be expected by their loyal followers. As they say, “it’s hard to teach old dogs new tricks.”

Stay tuned.
