MTRCB Penalizes “It’s Showtime!”

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Lala Sotto, chairperson of the Movie and Television Ratings and Classification Board, says she stands by the summons issued to the producers of GMA/GTV’s “It’s Showtime!”

The summons came following the noon-time show’s episode whereby hosts Vice Ganda and real-life partner Ion Parez were finger-licking some cake icing in front of young children.

By affirming the MTRCB’s summons, Sotto who is the daughter of Senate President Tito Sotto and former actress Helen Gamboa, penalized “It’s Showtime” with a slap on the wrist!

Regarding complaints that her parents also committed an indecent act on TV5’s “E.A.T,” (prolonged kissing on the lips on national television), the MTRCB chair said that’s different because her parents are real-life husband and wife.

Hmmm, does that constitute bias against same-sex real-life partners?

X Logo Atop San Francisco Headquarters Was Unverified!

Leave a comment

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – While (the former) Twitter continues to offer the verified check mark to its account holders, it has yet to obtain a check mark from the City and County of San Francisco.

San Francisco authorities have issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) to X, for putting up its new logo atop its headquarters on Market Street.

Existing codes require businesses to secure a permit before making any changes to existing buildings, including facades and signage.

Efforts by city building code enforcers to inspect the new construction failed twice because they were denied access to the building.

X may have violated SF’s community standards!

ICC Impressed With Philippine Justice System!

Leave a comment

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – The International Criminal Court (ICC) may have jumped the gun when it denied the Philippine government’s appeal to stop the investigation into former President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs.

Now, the ICC is praising the decision of a Manila Regional Trial Court affirming the acquittal of former Senator Leila de Lima in one of her three criminal cases.

“This shows that the Philippine Justice system is working,” the ICC said, “and maybe we should leave the Philippines alone.”

That would be a good move, ICC!
