MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) chief Cesar Montano broke his silence yesterday on the controversial “Buhay Carinderia” project, tagging resigned tourism secretary Wanda Teo in the project.

It was Legaspi who received the P80-million fund and conceptualized Buhay Carinderia, Montano stressed.

Filipinos to NoyNoy Aquino: Leave Our Manggang Hilaw Alone!

7EAF8F99-9EAD-4BA7-B6D9-D71F2609D899MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Former President NoyNoy Aquino took to Twitter just hours after the Supreme Court voted, 8-6, to oust Maria Lourdes Sereno from her post as Chief Justice.

Aquino compared the SC ruiling to unripened manggo which he says is sour and leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

PNoy’s comment angered many Filipinos who are avid fans of raw or unripened manggo, known in the vernacular as manggang hilaw.

“The more sour the manggo is, the more delicious,” one raw manggo fan told The Adobo Chronicles.  “Kaya nga sinasamahan ng bagoong. That makes the raw manggo even more delectable.”

Other raw manggo fans took to social media to lambast Aquino. “Leave our manggang hilaw alone,” they decried.

DB15A1CF-F33C-4654-BBFA-51363A708865SAN JOSE, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Bureau) – Facebook has taken down a post by a popular cooking blog, “My Bay Kitchen” (MyBayKitchen.wordpress.com) because the social media giant considered it as ‘spam.’

The post was about SPAM sushi (musubi), a popular food item in Hawaii.

In taking down the post, Facebook said it doesn’t allow posts that it considered spam or that violate its community standards.

MyBayKitchen.wordpress.com challenged the Facebook decision to no avail.

You can’t have your SPAM and eat it too.
