The Queen Of All Media Is Baaaack, With A Difference

Leave a comment

IMG_0351QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – After almost a year, the Queen of All Media Kris Aquino is back to claim her reign on TV, or so says her new TV network, GMA.

‘Trip Ni Kris’ is the title of her new show.

No, it has nothing to do with drugs — not that kind of trip.  Rather, it is a travel-themed, lifestyle special TV show produced by APT Entertainment and broadcast via GMA Network.

Already, Aquino has taken to social media to complain about her rigorous schedule, having to take public transportation via Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines since she is no longer entitled the use of her ex-President brother’s helicopters.

She also misses the swarm of security that accompanied her everywhere she went as the unofficial First Lady.

In exclusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Ms. Aquino belied rumors that she will be promoting her Chowking business franchise in her show. “Just authentic Filipino food,” she said.

HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles, Los Angeles Bureau) – The American television series “Madam Secretary” made headlines weeks ago after it depicted the “Philippines’ unconventional new president” crossing the line by making inappropriate advances towards the female lead character, US Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord.

Viewers believe that it was a depiction of President Rodrigo Duterte.

Now, The Adobo Chronicles has just learned that an upcoming episode of the same TV series again tackles a delicate issue in the Philippines: treason.

In the trailer obtained by AdoboChron, a certain “unconventional and rookie Vice President in the Philippines” travels to Washington D.C. and meets with the U.S. Secretary of State. She shows her alleged videos of extra-judicial killings in her country. In that meeting, she asks Madam Secretary to support her plot to oust the Philippine president.

In response, Madam Secretary tells the VP straight in the face that that’s not how Democracy works. “What you’re doing is treason,” she tells the VP.

The show’s producers have yet to schedule a play date for the new episode.

Stay tuned!

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – It seems that Donald Trump is done with his tirades against the news media, calling some of them ‘fake news.’ Now he has turned to The Oscars, the biggest single event of the year in Hollywood.

‘From the Red Carpet to the actual awards ceremony, everything is fake,” Trump said.

“How many women wear not only fake jewelry or fake designer clothes and accessories, but also fake you-know-what?  I’m sure the lesser-endowed male actors sport fake enhancements and you’ll know by grabbing them by their cr*tch,” he added.

Trump also criticized the fake announcement of the Best Picture.  Presenter Faye Dunaway announced ‘La La Land’ as the winner, only to be corrected a minute later so that the Oscar statuettes could be passed on to their rightful owners from ‘Moonlight.’

“They even gave tribute to a living person during the ‘In Memoriam’ segment. Who knows what else was fake that evening? Blackface? Whiteface?

“It’s time that America put the truth back to fake Hollywood and fake news,” Trump concluded, as he sprayed his face with some designer fake tan.
