Adobo Chronicles Exclusive: SMNI Excluded From SONA!

In a shocking turn of events, SMNI News has been banned from covering President Bongbong Marcos’ SONA next week. The announcement was made by no less than P1 Million per month-paid consultant Jay Sonza, who confirmed the news in a Facebook post.

The reason for the ban remains unclear, but speculation is rife that it involves a mix-up with their press credentials and an overzealous security guard.

Meanwhile, in an unexpected twist of fate, Rappler has been granted accreditation to cover the event. The irony of the situation is not lost on the public, as the once-embattled news outlet is now set to report on the very administration that has had its share of contentious moments with the media.

Oh, how the world turns. Stay tuned to The Adobo Chronicles for more updates on this developing story.

MMDA’s Waterless Water Slide!

In their latest stroke of genius, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has outdone itself, building on the monumental success of the “Stairway to Heaven” footbridge.

This new venture promises an adrenaline rush: a wheelchair ramp at an MRT station so steep, it doubles as an unintentional thrill ride. Persons with disabilities can now experience the heart-pounding excitement of a steep descent—think of it as a dry water slide, reminiscent of Disneyland’s famed attractions, but with a local twist.

No need for tickets or safety harnesses; the MMDA ensures that this high-octane adventure remains absolutely free! It’s a bold, cost-effective solution to mobility, transforming mundane commutes into unforgettable escapades.

Clearly, the MMDA’s innovative approach knows no bounds, continually proving that urban planning can be as exhilarating as it is practical.

Sara Duterte: ‘Take My Breath Away!’ (video)

In an earth-shattering twist, Vice President Sara Duterte has announced she will not grace this year’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) with her presence.

This revelation, from someone whose favorite response to news reporters is “no comment,” has left the nation in shock. Even more telling was the viral footage of Duterte struggling to muster the conviction in her announcement, punctuated by a long, deep breath—perhaps a symbolic inhale before a deep dive into unprecedented political waters.

Critics suggest this absence might be a strategic move to avoid answering more pesky questions, or maybe it’s just a case of SONA fatigue. Supporters, however, hail it as a bold stance against monotony. Either way, this “no-show” promises to be as newsworthy as her famously tight-lipped press conferences. It seems Duterte’s absence might speak louder than her usual “no comment.”
