Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – From the initial six names announced on June 12 for 1Sambayan’s choices for President and Vice President candidates in 2022, four have withdrawn their names: Grace Poe, Eduardo Villanueva, Chel Diokno and Vilma Santos-Recto. That leaves Leni Robredo and Antonio Trillanes on its list.

But the game’s not over until it’s over.

The Opposition coalition announced its second short list — wild cards if you will — for their 2022 Presidential and VP choices: Kris Aquino, Mar Roxas, Maria Ressa and Angel Locsin. As of press time, none of the wild cards have accepted or rejected their “nomination.”

This is a developing story.

In a recent tweet, the son of the former Department of Justice Undersecretary who has been linked to alleged illegal drug trade, said:

Almost instantly, several botox doctors responded with proposals on what they can do to fulfill Baraan’s quest for a makeover, along with computer-generated photos of what he will look like after botox treatment. Now it’s up to Baraan to decide which look he would like.

Maybe, his Twitter followers can help him decide?

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – As that viral marquee sign says, McDonald’s is the world’s no. 1 except in the Philippines where it can’t beat that big, fat, smiling bee (Jollibee). Not even the recent incident of the crispy-fried Chicken Joy can change that.

Now, McDonald’s is trying a new business strategy. It is merging with Mang Inasal, the famous Filipino grilled meat restaurant famous for its unli rice (unlimited rice).

The merger is a big boost to local employment since workers can now do a morning shift at McDonald’s and work the evening shift at Mang Inasal, as shown by this photo of a dual employee:

A McDonald’s spokesperson told The Adobo Chronicles that Mang Inasal will eventually renamed McInasal.
