Our Curtain Call

A Message to Followers, Supporters, and Viewers of The Adobo Chronicles

As we mark the 12th anniversary of The Adobo Chronicles this month, we are announcing the retirement of this satirical site. It has been an incredible journey—one filled with wit, truth wrapped in humor, and fearless commentary on the Philippine and global landscape.

We are proud of what we have accomplished. From the beginning, The Adobo Chronicles set out to be a unique voice in Filipino satire, and we’re honored to have consistently ranked among the world’s top 50 satire sites. That recognition belongs as much to you—our readers—as it does to us. More importantly, we are proud of the financial support we have extended to many deserving nonprofit, non-governmental organizations in the U.S. and the Philippines.

Though we are closing this chapter, the legacy of The Adobo Chronicles will live on. The full archives will remain accessible online for those who wish to revisit our stories, laughs, and insights.

We are not fading away—we are evolving. Moving forward, we will channel our efforts into more serious political commentary through our Politikal Pinoy Facebook page. We hope you will continue to engage with us there as we tackle the pressing issues of our time with the same passion and clarity you’ve come to expect. Please follow us on Politikal Pinoy.

My sincere appreciation to our AC team. I am forever indebted to you for your support, inspiration and encouragement.

Thank you all for 12 unforgettable years. Maraming salamat at mabuhay!

(Senate) Class Dismissed!

In a plot twist worthy of a teleserye, certain senators have magically decided that due process is so passé—especially when it comes to the impeachment trial of Sara Duterte. With the subtlety of a bulldozer in a tiangge, covert moves are underway to dismiss the trial faster than a session adjournment after lunch. Bravo!

But here’s a wild idea: instead of dismissing the trial, why not dismiss the puppeteers behind this constitutional circus? The Filipino people are taking attendance—and guess what? We see you, Senator Spinmaster, and your fellow Defenders of the Dynasty.

If the Senate won’t uphold accountability, perhaps it’s time the people gave you a proper dismissal. Yes, senators, class dismiss! And unlike your backdoor deals, this one comes with no exit pass. Bring snacks next time; democracy’s long, but karma has better timing.

Imee Marcos’ Great Redemption

Senator Imee Marcos strutted into the Senate like a triumphant beauty queen — or perhaps more like a pageant judge who never got crowned — declaring with exaggerated pride that she was “present!” on the first day of the 19th Senate’s reconvening.

It was a theatrical comeback, timed suspiciously well after her rather awkward snubbing at the gates of Rodrigo Duterte’s hallowed The Hague hideaway, where she was reportedly denied entry like an uninvited tita at a private birthday bash.

But never mind the rejection; Imee spun her attendance into a badge of statesmanship, as if simply showing up to work merited applause. Her Senate presence became less a matter of duty and more a political redemption tour. One might even say she traded the ICC’s closed doors for the Senate’s open mic — and she’s determined to remind the nation that even if she can’t see Duterte, she can still be seen.
