SAN JOSE, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Headquarters) – After eight years of bringing up-to-date, unbelievable news across continents, The Adobo Chronicles has announced and unveiled a new logo.

The decision for the change comes at a time when the Philippines’ Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is looking to establish a new national standard for cooking adobo, considered by many as the country’s national dish.

The new logo still retains the original masthead, registered as a trademark with the United States Patent Office. However, a new tagline appears under the masthead that says “The National Standard,” in anticipation of the adobo standard that will be set by DTI. The new logo also bears the “stamp of approval” by DTI, represented by the blue-colored logo of the government agency.

If you have thoughts for or against the new logo, make them known in the comments section below.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is very serious about its initiative to set a national standard for cooking adobo and other Filipino dishes.

Case in point. The Adobo Chronicles publisher was subpoenaed by DTI for posting a photo of his newly-found concoction of adobo. No, not pork, not chicken, not squid, not even vegetable adobo. Rather, rabbit meat adobo.

Our publisher was asked to appear in person at the DTI headquarters to explain why he shouldn’t be penalized for a possible violation of the yet-to-be-set national adobo standard.

This is a developing story.
