Starbucks To Replace Its Entire Menu!

Leave a comment

SEATTLE, Washington (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – A Starbucks employee, let’s call her the “Coffee Culprit,” was recently fired from her barista duties then in retaliation shared the coffee giant’s closely guarded beverage recipes with the Internet world. 

The Coffee Culprit had evidently grown tired of the exorbitant prices at Starbucks and decided it was high time to spill the beans – or in this case, coffee – on their overpriced concoctions.

Well, karma strikes again! In response to the Coffee Culprit’s exposé, Starbucks has announced they will revamp their beverage recipes and ingredients, promising a “revolutionary” change. Apparently, they were so inspired by the Coffee Culprit’s act of rebellion that they’ve decided to show the world just how innovative they can be.

So get ready for Starbucks 2.0! Soon, your $10 caramel macchiato will likely be replaced with a $12 unicorn-infused, fairy-dusted latte. After all, in the world of coffee, change is the only constant, and Starbucks never misses an opportunity to cash in on it. 

Bravo, Coffee Culprit, for setting the caffeinated revolution in motion!

Many Questions On Speaker Martin Romualdez’ ‘Malaya Rice Project’

Leave a comment

At least 2.5 million Filipinos will receive rice and financial aid in the next two weeks, according to House Speaker Martin Romualdez.

This is supposedly part of the Malaya Rice Project of the House of Representatives and Department of Social Work and Development (DSWD).

During a press briefing, Romualdez said he had asked 33 House members in Metro Manila to identify 10,000 indigent residents per legislative district who will initially receive the aid.

Sounds good right?

But wait, we just like to ask some questions:

  1. When have direct rice distribution and financial aid become a function of the legislative branch of government?
  2. Have funds been allocated and approved for this project? What are the sources of these funds?
  3. Sure, Romualdez says this is a joint project with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) which is part off the executive branch. Shouldn’t the Office of the President be the one partnering with DSWD?
  4. There are photos being spread online about the alleged graphic design for the Malaya Rice Project bag which states that this is “A Project of Speaker Martin Romualdez.” Isn’t it too early to campaign for the 2028 presidential elections?
  5. On second thought, are the funds for this project coming from “confidential intelligence funds” that are simply being put to good use?
  6. Lastly, looking at the logo design for Malaya Rice, the acronym is MR. Martin Romaldez?

Leave a comment

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – ABS-CBN has decided not to appeal the 12-day suspension of “It’s Showtime” to the Office of the President. Earlier, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) denied the appeal of the noon-time show to reconsider the suspension decision.”

“It’s Showtime” will go off the air starting October 12 and will return on October 28.

As a response to the ABS-CBN statement, fans of the Vice Ganda-hosted show have decided to stage a 12-day partial hunger strike to show support for and solidarity with their favorite slapstick variety TV show.

The “partial hunger strike” means that fans will skip lunch for the 12-day period of the show’s suspension.

Upon learning of the partial hunger strike, Vice Ganda was so emotional she decided to spend the 12 days of suspension shopping in Singapore with partner Ion Perez. “I will be with you all in spirit,” he said.
