TOKYO, Japan (The Adobo Chronicles, Tokyo Bureau) – Facebook is dead serious about implementing its community standards. It just banned a Japanese gin advertisement to the dismay of many Ilocanos in the Philippines and abroad.
The banned product is Ukiyo.
FB community standards prohibit posts that promote violence, fake news, pornography and foul language, among others.
We can’t tell our followers and readers what the product name means, otherwise we, too, might be banned from Facebook.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Change is coming to President Bongbong Marcos’ Malacañang soon!
This change was revealed by the Office of the Press Secretary just hours after Marcos greeted former President Rodrigo Duterte on the occasion of his 78th birthday.
In his video message, Marcos said he now realizes that Duterte’s communication style is more effective that his own, calm and diplomatic way of delivering speeches and responding to questions from the press.
Henceforth, Malacañang said to expect Marcos to start using expletives in his speeches and public statements.
CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts (The Adobo Chronicles, Cambridge Bureau) – From Hauser Leader to Language Professor! Such is the fate of Philippine ex-Vice President and defeated Presidential candidate Leni Robredo.
Many will recall that Robredo was among the Hauser Leaders chosen by Harvard University to lecture and consult with students and professors last fall.
Our troops on the ground tell us that Robredo’s Hauser Fellowship didn’t go very well mainly because Harvard’s academic community didn’t learn anything new and significant from the former VP’s rants about her devastating 2022 election loss to Bongbong Marcos.
But all’s well that ends well.
Robredo has been tapped by to teach the Tagalog Language which Harvard will be offering soon. Tagalog is the fourth most-spoken language in the United States.
