MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Jollibee Foods Corporation has temporarily closed down a branch of its fast-food chain in Bonifacio Global City after a viral video tweet showing that a crispy fried towel had been served to a customer instead of fried chicken.
In a statement on Thursday, Jollibee said the company is “deeply concerned” over the incident and will conduct a thorough investigation.
The Adobo Chronicles has learned the the investigation will focus on three critical elements:
1. Whether the served towel was spicy, mild, or original.

3. Whether the towel was a face towel, hand towel or bath towel.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – President Rodrigo Duterte today issued an Executive Order adding one more non-working national holiday.
Malacañang announced that April 23 each year will be observed to mark Community Pantry Day and National Lugaw Day. The date is the birthday of actress Angel Locsin and Vice President Leni Robredo.
The EO cited Locsin’s heroic (read: Darna) effort to (dis)organize a community pantry to celebrate her natal day, and Robredo’s (and her supporters) to mark the day to pay tribute to Leni’s personal and political trademark, lugaw (rice porridge).
In her weekly radio program, Robredo thanked Duterte and her supporters for this singular honor.
MAPAGBIGAY, Quezon City (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – The unidentified woman who snatched all the trays of fresh eggs from a community pantry in Quezon City has a good heart after all.
The woman returned to the community pantry today with dozens of plastic packs of freshly-made leche flan. She said her intention in taking the fresh eggs was to bake the ever popular sweet dessert.
In a zoom call with The Adobo Chronicles, the woman said the two trays of eggs she took from the community pantry were not enough to make all the leche flan she brought back. “Nag-abono pa ako,” (I had to come up with more), she said. She declined to say where she got the additional eggs.
