Thanks to Adobo Chronicles top fan and avid follower Jonathan U., we were able to pinpoint the bookstore in the United Kingdom which relegated Maria Ressa’s book, “How to Stand Up to a Dictator” to the fiction section.

Flourish and Blotts Bookseller is a bookshop in North Side, Diagon Alley. Established in 1454, it was where most Hogwarts students purchased their schoolbooks. 

Now you know!

An Ode To Juan Ponce Enrile

On Enrile’s hundredth, oh, what a delight,

A century of living, still shining bright.

Valentine’s love and Ash Wednesday’s grace,

A curious mix in life’s timeless race.

With rumors abound, of secrets untold,

Of corned beef magic, so we’re told.

Delimondo’s delight, his daily feast,

Keeps him immortal, to say the least.

Through scandals and strife, he’s stood his ground,

A political phoenix, ever unbound.

With every year, a tale to be spun,

Of Enrile’s exploits, second to none.

So raise a toast, to this centenarian grand,

In his journey through time, he takes a stand.

Happy birthday, Enrile, may you thrive,

Forever immortal, as long as you’re alive.

An Ode To Celebrity Splits

In the land where stars shine bright,

Filipino celebs take flight,

But when splits happen in the limelight,

Gossip churns, a scandalous plight.

Was it prenups, contracts tight,

Or infidelity, love took flight?

Speculation swirls, oh what a sight,

Media feasting, with all their might.

Whispers of sexual orientation, who’s wrong, who’s right,

Tabloids spin tales, in the dead of night.

Did they stray from the script, the love they’d write?

Or were they just actors, playing the part, not tight?

In the circus of fame, where rumors ignite,

Every move dissected, under glaring light.

Oh, Filipino stars, in the public’s sight,

Your splits fuel the fire, of gossip’s delight.
