Miss universe philippines: TALE OF THE (packing) TAPE

Leave a comment

TAGUIG, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Taguig Bureau) – When one speaks of “Tale of the Tape,” it usually refers to the sport of boxing where the fighters would be measured with a tape measure before a fight.

But in beauty contests, particularly in the recently-concluded 2020 Miss Universe Philippines (MUP) held in Baguio City, this idiom took on an entire new meaning.

MUP Taguig City representative Sandra Lemonon is trending on social media because of her own “Tale of the Tape.” It wasn’t about a measuring tape though. Rather, it was about packing tape.

Without going into details, she revealed that a contestant used some packing tape during the pageant.

Perhaps the subject contestant used packing tape to seal boxes containing her gowns and accessories after the pageant finals on Sunday?

Hmmm…

Adobo chronicles accurately predicts leni robredO’s red dress

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – If we could predict the outcome of the November 3 U.S. Presidential Election, we would categorically say that Joe Biden will defeat President Donald Trump. But that’s for later.

First, we have a prediction that came to fruition — at least part of it.

On Sunday, October 18, The Adobo Chronicles predicted on its Facebook page that in her next Facebook Live address, Leni Robredo would be wearing a bloody red dress — in contrast to the purple, violet and pink hues she’s been wearing.

Our prediction came after New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern appeared in a red dress to address her nation after winning another term in the elections.

We predicted that Robredo’s PR handlers would try to “replicate” the image of the popular NZ Prime Minister, in an effort to significantly increase her trust and approval ratings for the next national poll.

Robredo’s ratings in the last national poll were very dismal, registering only 50% and 57%, respectively, for trust and performance.

In her FB Live address today, October 22, Robredo did wear a bloody red dress!

We also predicted that she would let her hair down and let go of those nerdy glasses, but that didn’t happen this time around.

Maybe, next FB Live…
