It’s Official: Kris Aquino Announces First Major Hollywood Film Project
QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Many weeks ago, retired talk show host and former presidential sister Kris Aquino hinted on her social media page that she has signed up for a major Hollywood film, which many thought would be ‘Crazy Rich Asians.’
But when the cast of the film project was announced, nowhere was Aquino’s named on it.
Then, in subsequent tweets, Aquino said she is working on a Hollywood film but was not at liberty to reveal the details.
Finally, Aquino announced the much-awaited film project, “Darna Versus Wonder Woman.” She plays Darna while Gal Gadot will reprise her role as Wonder Woman.
The film is based on fictional superheroine characters in the Philippines and the U.S., respectively.
“Naku ha, I’m super excited about being cast in this monumental film and proud to be the first Filipina to land a leading role in a Hollywood film. Our time has come,” Aquino told The Adobo Chronicles.
Asked how her new Hollywood career would affect her reported plans to run for mayor of Quezon City, Aquino said, “Puwede namang sabay di ba? Look at Ronald Reagan and Arnold Swarseneger. Did I spell his name right?”
The film is scheduled to open in the U.S. and the Philippines over the Labor Day Weekend this September.
BREAKING: VP Leni Robredo Back In Duterte Cabinet As Mendicant-in-Chief
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – After Vice President Leni Robredo publicly supported the declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao, she seems to have earned back the trust and confidence of President Rodrigo Duterte.
Robredo is back in the Cabinet as the new Mendicant-in-Chief. As the “donation czar,” the VP’s main responsibility is to solicit donations for and on behalf of the government and the Filipino people.
In a statement released by Malacañang, Duterte said he was very impressed with Robredo’s recent calls for donations for all sorts of causes — from relief for natural calamity victims to help for those caught in the crossfire between government troops and the terrorist group Maute in Marawi City. “She even has a call for donations for a defense fund to help with the electoral protest filed against her by former Senator Bongbong Marcos. She is clearly the most qualified person for the job,” Duterte said.
