MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Every year, on a day in the month of May, the town of Pulilan, Bulacan in the Phlippines, celerates the Kneeling Carabao Festival, during which carabaos are paraded in the streets and made to kneel in front of the church. It is definitely a sight to behold.
But it is not only carabaos that kneel in the Philippines. Even senators do.
Case in point: Senator Bato de la Rosa knelt in front of witness cops, begging them tell the truth during a Senate hearing.
QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – ABS-CBN Corp. on Tuesday said it would be taking news channel TeleRadyo offline by the end of next month given continued losses since the Lopez-led media firm lost its franchise in 2020.
The broadcast company announced a partnership with House Speaker Martin Romualdez’s Prime Media Holdings Inc. for news and other content.
ABS-CBN has always been perceived as anti-Marcos and ant-Duterte so a partnership with the Marcos-Duterte UniTeam is unprecedented and historical.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) -Vice President Sara Duterte has had it with film maker Darryl Yap’s meddling in purely government affairs, especially goings-on in the presidential palace, Malacañang.
“We have enough trolls, gossip-mongers and purveyors of fake news, we don’t need a film director joining in the fray,” Duterte said.
In calling Yap a “tambaloslos,” the VP advised Yap to stick to what he does best — film making.
(“Tambaloslos” is mythical creature with a large mouth and penis found in Visayan, Bicolano and Mindanao folklore. The creature is believed to confuse and misguide people, making them lose their way or go around in circles.)
