apl.de.ap Shows What Filipinos Are Made Of

NEW CLARK CITY, PHILIPPINES (The Adobo Chronicles, ) – A few Filipinos, mostly associated with the political opposition and yellow cult have been very critical of the Phiippines’ hosting of the 30th South East Asian (SEA) Games this year.

Many have questioned their loyalty and patriotism for choosing to bring up only the negatives about the country’s efforts to put up a good show.

But one Filipino, apl.de.ap of the popular American rap group Black Eyed Peas, is taking the high road.  He makes no secret of his extreme pride  for his Filipinoness and 100% support for the Phiippines’ hosting of the 2019 SEA Games.

Standing before a giant replica of the Game’s logo, the artist proclaimed, “Let’s show them what we’re made of.”

Adding, “We’re definitely not Yellows.”

(And in case you haven’t noticed, there is no yellow color on the logo.)

Point well taken.

Philippine Manufacturers Race To Produce Karaoke Machines That Generate Electricity

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Taking their cue from a high school science project that found noise can generate electricity, leading electronics manufacturers in the Philippines are racing to produce the next generation karaoke and videoke machines.

It is a well-known fact that karaoke and videoke machines are as common in households as a television set, a testament  to the world-renowned musicality of the Filipinos.

A spokesperson for a leading manufacturer said the if every household can have their own high-level-sounding karaoke machines running full blast, they would not have to worry about paying for electricity. “That would be quite a bit of savings,” he said.

The manufacturers are now lobbying local governments to repeal ordinances prohibiting noise — including karaoke singing in residential neighborhoods after 10 p.m. All for the benefit of free electricity, they said.

And many sleepless nights.
