MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Top Filipino restaurants like Barrio Fiesta, Kamayan and Max, along with thousands of carenderias throughout the country condemned Senatorial candidate Mar Roxas for his recent statement justifing his loss in the two national elections.

Roxas lost to Jojo Binay when he ran for Vice President and lost to Rodrigo Duterteo when he ran for President.

In justifying his loss, Roxas said : “ I did not win, I accept that.  I offerered tinolang manok, they chose kare-kareng baka.”

The restaurants and carinderias said, “what’s wrong with kare-kare?”

Blogger Les Bacobo said on his Facebook page: “No, you didn’t offer tinolang manok; voters chose to make you tinalong manok.”

Aristocrat Restaurant To Serve Free Meals To Volunteers Of Manila Bay Cleanup

A81EA3D5-065B-4BF0-949E-B8B4EE3D6E9AMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In an effort to make amends, Aristocrat along Roxas Boulevard wants to offer free meals to all volunteers of the Manila Bay cleanup, in exchange for the rescinding of DENR’s cease and desist order for the restaurant’s continued operation.

Aristocrat was among establishments tagged and ordered closed by DENR for contributing to the pollution of Manila Bay.

A spokesperson for Aristocrat told The Adobo Chronicles that they will serve their famous barbecue chicken with java rice and atchara (pickled green papaya) to all those who volunteer to help in the clearnup on weekends.

Aristocrat’s move is in sharp contrast to Manila City Hall’s recent announcement that those who volunteer to help in the Manila Bay clearnup need to secure a permit.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Previously, we reported that the U.S.-based animal rights group, PETA, urged people to stop using phrases that are offensive to animals — phrases like “Bring home the bacon,” “Be the guinea pig,” and “Kill two birds with one stone.”

Now, the group is urging the Philippine government to ban the Filipino delicacy lechon (roasted pig) on the grounds that it constitutes a violation of the right to dignity of animals.

A PETA spokesperson told The Adobo Chronicles  that pigs are not only victims of  extra-judicial killing (EJK), but are also subjected to humiliation during parties and events where lechon is served. “They are displayed and served  in the buff without any cover. Placing an apple in the mouth of the roasted pig doesn’t make the situation any better.”

Opposition Senators Risa Hontiveros, Franklin Drilon, Kiko Pangilinan, Antonio Trillanes and Bam Aquino seem to be receptive to the idea, and are considering filing the appropriate bill in the Senate.

So enjoy your lechon while you can, especially this holiday season!
