Leave a comment

02CF97CC-E0E6-445E-B15D-08FD46B3D7CCNAGA CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Naga Bureau) – A restaurant based in Naga City just contradicted Leni Robredo’s statement that  the people are in tears because of the high prices of sili (chili pepper).

The owner of the restaurant, Chili-Peppers, said that news reports about the supply and prices of sili are overblown, if not utterly sensational.

”We have no problem serving sili at our restaurant and we certainly have not increased the prices of our menu offering,” the owner said.

To prove the point, Chili-Peppers  has launched a new promo that offers UNLIsili that enables its customers to avail of unlimited sili for menu items that have the spice as part of their ingredients.

It follows Mang Inasal’s offering of UNLIrice.

This is definitely good and HOT news for sili fans!

What are you waiting for? If you are from, or are visiting Naga, order your laing and Bicol Express from Chili-Peppers today! Or steaks, ribs, pasta and seafood — with sili of course!

Among other things, some Opposition Senators are asking that charges be filed against Aquino and that the President publicly acknowledge there is a rice crisis.

Taking his cue from the Senators, Duterte just announced that he is appointing Senator Pangilinan as the new NFA Administrator. The President said he is very confident that within 24 hours of Pangilinan assuming the new post, the good Senator would be able to immediately bring down the prices of both commercial and NFA rice, as well as bring about over-sufficiency of this primary staple. “Under Pangilinan’s leadership, the Philippines will become a leading exporter of rice throughout the world,” Duterte said.

Who knew Duterte would even think of crossing party lines to solve some of the country’s major problems?

Is the appointment of Senator Antonio Trillanes as the new Drug Czar in the offing?
