Doris Bigornia Leaves ABS-CBN To Be New Editor Of TIKTIK Magazine

IMG_3402.JPGMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – She calls herself “Mutya ng Masa,” but Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte would rather call her “Reyna ng Intriga.”

It all happened during a press conference in which ABS-CBN’s Doris Bigornia played smart by asking the president who is going to be the next mayor who will fall.  It was in obvious reference to the recent police raid in Ozamiz City, in which suspected drug lord Mayor Reynaldo Parojinog was killed.

It was a question that impressed the publisher of the entertainment magazine, TIKTIK.

There are no indications that Bigornia will decline the offer.  Good for her!

Adobo Chronicles Apologizes For Error

IMG_3270SAN JOSE, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Bureau) – The California-based online news outlet The Adobo Chronicles has issued an apology for a glaring error it has committed regarding some breaking news in the Philippines.

In its haste to beat other news outlets like The Philippine Daily Inquirer and Rappler, The Adobo Chronicles used the wrong photos to accompany the exciting news that House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez has announced he was pushing legislation to legalize both divorce and same-sex unions in the Philippines.

The Adobo Chronicles inadvertently used photos of Senator Antonio Trillanes and Representative Gary Alejano for the same-sex union story, and of Vice President Leni Robredo and Representative Bolet Banal for the divorce story.
