Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Could you blame Gwyneth Chua for violating her hotel quarantine to party in Makati City? You can’t. Ordering or drinking beer or alcohol is not allowed by the hotel if you’re under the 5 or 7-day hotel quarantine related to your travel.

Speaking with The Adobo Chronicles, IATF spokesperson Karlo Nograles said that the policy is based on science which proves that ordering and drinking alcohol with yourself in front of the mirror is in violation of social distancing. ”As you know,” Nograles said, ”social distancing is one of the important health protocols needed to curb the spread of Covid-19.”

Now you know why Gwyneth did what she did.

Cancel Culture: Support Angkas Trends

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) –  Newton’s third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Following the impressive Quezon City caravan held this week in support of the candidacies of former Senator Bongbong Marcos for President and Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte for Vice President, Pinklawans (those supporting Vice President Leni Robredo) called for a boycott of Angkas, the motorcycle riding service in Metro Manila. The call for boycott came after hundreds of Angkas drivers joined in the unprecedented motorcade.

Almost immediately, netizens supporting the Marcos-Duterte tandem, took to social media to counter the cancel culture.

The hashtag #SupportAngkas has begun to trend on Twitter and other social media platforms.

Judging by the overwhelming support of Marcos and Duterte, it looks like the cancel culture directed at Angkas will soon be, well, cancelled.

Again, for every action, there is an opposite reaction. And in many cases, the opposite reaction triumphs.
