Liberal Party Protests Wrong Shade Of Yellow Color On 2019 SEA Games Logo

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Led by Vice President Leni Robredo and Senator Kiko Pangilinan, the Liberal Party (LP) filed a formal protest with the Philippine Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee (PHISGOC) for the wrong shade of the yellow color on the 2019 SEA Games logo.

The LP was reacting to photo of Filipino American rapper apl. de. ap of the Black Eyed Peas showing him holding a lighted torch in front of a giant replica of the logo. Two of the rings which were supposed to be yellow appeared to be the wrong shade — closer to gold.

”There may be 50 shades of gray, but there is only one correct shade of yellow that represents us,” Robredo said.

Pangilinan, on the other hand, accused House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano who heads the PHISGOC of politicizing the international sports event as part of a concerted effort to wipe out the Opposition.

Not to be outdone, Senator Risa Hontiveros also questioned the fact that the yellow rings on the original logo were smaller than the rest of the colored rings.

Cayetano said that it’s too late to make any changes to the logo since the Games begin in a few days.

 

apl.de.ap Shows What Filipinos Are Made Of

NEW CLARK CITY, PHILIPPINES (The Adobo Chronicles, ) – A few Filipinos, mostly associated with the political opposition and yellow cult have been very critical of the Phiippines’ hosting of the 30th South East Asian (SEA) Games this year.

Many have questioned their loyalty and patriotism for choosing to bring up only the negatives about the country’s efforts to put up a good show.

But one Filipino, apl.de.ap of the popular American rap group Black Eyed Peas, is taking the high road.  He makes no secret of his extreme pride  for his Filipinoness and 100% support for the Phiippines’ hosting of the 2019 SEA Games.

Standing before a giant replica of the Game’s logo, the artist proclaimed, “Let’s show them what we’re made of.”

Adding, “We’re definitely not Yellows.”

(And in case you haven’t noticed, there is no yellow color on the logo.)

Point well taken.

 

SEA Games Opening Ceremonies: Vice Ganda To Stand In For Lea Salonga

NEW CLARK CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – When Lea Salonga sings the SEA Games theme song, “We Win As One,” at the Opening Ceremonies, something will be missing: Lea.

The internationally-known Filipina singer tweeted that she is leaving on a jet plane for Singapore to fulfill a prior engagement.

But no worries, nationally-known personality Vice Ganda will lip sync to Lea’s recording of the song.

All’s well that ends well.
