QUEZON CITY, Philippins (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – The embattled ABS-CBN Network has been relying heavily on its top Kapamilya stars like Coco Martin, Bea Alonso and Angel Locsin to advocate for its franchise renewal.

The network faces possible non-renewal of its franchise and is facing a quo warranto case filed by Soliticor General Jose Calida.

Now, ABS-CBN wants to capitalize on the star power of America’s Got Talent (AGT) finalist Marcelino Pomoy. Pomoy has gained worldwide popularity due to his dual-voice performances on the popular reality TV show.

Pomoy was a previous winner in Pilipinas Got Talent which airs on ABS-CBN.

Unreliable sources told The Adobo Chronicles that ABS-CBN is offering a huge, undisclosed sum to Pomoy to be its poster boy for the franchise renewal.

Will this involve a television promo with Pomoy appealing for franchise renewal in both male and female voices?

PCOO Quarantines ABS-CBN

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – For once, the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) is doing something in the service of the Filipino by issuing a quarantine order for the ABS-CBN Network.

The quarantine order stems from the network’s airing of the movie, “Contagion,” as well as its locally-produced telserye on 24/7 — both dealing with the subject of a virus spread. The airing comes at a time when Filipinos are panicking over the continued spread of the coronavirus in China and other countries.

The PCOO order would mean the temporary shutdown of ABS-CBN so that it would not be able to continue airing the films which could only exacerbate the fear already being felt by the Filipino people.

It wasn’t clear how long the quarantine period will be, but the worst case scenario is that the order will last until March 20 when ABS-CBN’s media franchise expires. In that case, the quarantine will be forever.

Who says “walang forever?” (There is no forever).

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – The longest-running teleserye on Philippine television will finally come to an end!

FPJ’s “Ang Probinsyano” which started airing in September of 2015 on ABS-CBN, will bow out with its final epidsode on March 30, 2020, coinciding with the franchise expiration of the broadcast network owned by the Lopez oligarchy.

While there are desperate efforts to convince Congress to renew the franchise, including an online petition started by the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP), the producers of the popular teleserye said that they’ve all but run out of script ideas to keep it going.

One of the mainstays of the show, Miss Susan Roces, mother of Senator Grace Poe, told The Adobo Chronicles that in the final episode, the main character Cardo, played by Coco Martin, will finally die — killed by the bad elements.

Sources close to the powers that be at ABS-CBN said that should the network’s franchise be renewed, the plan is to start an all-new, improved teleserye titled “Six In The City,” starring Vice Ganda, Lea Salonga, Anne Curtis, Agot Isidro, Ogie Alcasid, and Mutya Ng Masa Doris Bigornia.

Staru tuned!
