Raissa Robles, The Fake Fashion Police!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It doesn’t pay to venture into an issue where you do not have the credentials or expertise. It could come back to you as a slap on the face.

This was the painful and embarrassing lesson learned by self-proclaimed investigative writer and certified Marites Raissa Robles.

In a tweet, Robles critiqued the Filipina dress worn by Philippine First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos at King Charles’ coronation in London last week. Robles accused the First Lady of “raiding” (synonym: shoplifting ) her mother-in-law Imelda’s closet.

Just hours later, a well-credentialed British newspaper named the Philippine First Lady one of the 52 most fashionable personalities at the coronation.

Robles could be better off dusting unsold copies of her book and sending her resume to gossip tabloids.

Did The Choir Disrespect Queen Consort Camilla?

LONDON, United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, London Bureau) – Many netizens in the U.K. and across the globe swear they heard the choir at King Charles’ coronation disrespect Queen Consort Camilla.

They said they heard the choir sing, “Why not, vagina Camilla.”

But the investigative team from The Adobo Chronicles painstakingly listened to the recording over and over and over again, and also researched on what might possibly have been sung by the choir.

We can now confirm that what the choir sung/said was “ Vivat Regina Camilla’, which means “Long Live Camilla.”

We hope this clears the air.

Adobo Chronicles Exclusive: Once A Prince, Always A Prince

LONDON, United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, London Bureau) – “Once a Prince, Always A Prince.” This seems to be unshakable belief of a movie theater in London.

While other establishments have changed names, say from “Her Majesty,” to “His Majesty, and the national anthem has been updated to “God Save the King,” the Prince Charles Cinema, located on 7 Leicester Pl in London, is standing its ground.

It has announced, in no uncertain terms on its marquee, that it is not changing its name to “King Charles Cinema.”

To which the fast food chain BurgerKing reacted with a public statement: “There’s nothing to change. We have always been King, never a Prince.”

In hindsight, as Filipinos would say, “advanced mag-isip.” (thinking in advance).
