HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles, Los Angeles Bureau) – It’s here! The official trailer of the Hollywood film, ‘Crazy Rich Asians.’

The film, based on a novel by Kevin Kwan, features an all-Asian cast, including — supposedly — Kris Aquino.

Aquino herself had been hinting about a major Hollywood project and when she was photographed at NAIA with huge multiple luggages on a trip to Singapore, many believed it was because she’d be joining the cast of ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ as a princess.

Because of what she called a ‘non-disclosure’ agreement, Aquino could not confirm or deny her role in ‘Crazy Rich Asians.’ But in a check with imdb, the authoritative database of all film projects, Aquino is not mentioned as a member of the cast.

In the official trailer, there is no sight of Aquino, certainly not the princess that her fans were expecting.

A netizen who watched the trailer frame-by-frame told The Adobo Chronicles that he saw Aquino in the trailer at 1:04. We took a screenshot of that trailer moment but all we saw was a lady-in-waiting (politically-correct term for maid or domestic help), not a princess.

OUR FACT CHECK VERDICT: Kris Aquino’s ‘role’ in the film is UNVERIFIABLE at this point.

Let’s see if fact-checkers Rappler and Vera Files would have a different take on all this.

PNoy Imposes Gag Order On Kris Aquino

QUEZON CITY (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Blood is always thicker than water. And the big brother is to be followed at all times, whether or not he used to be the President of the Philippines.

So today, NoyNoy Aquino imposed a gag order on his younger sister Kris Aquino, after the former TV talk show host went on a rampage, berating fellow TV host Korina Sanchez who happens to be the missus of former presidential candidate Mar Roxas, NoyNoy’s chosen one to succeed him.

Not only did Kris ‘accuse’ Sanchez of slapping her in the face for airing a feature video about her ex-husband James Yap; she also practically told the whole world that Rodrigo Duterte deserved to be elected president.

Kris’ rant on her Instagram Account was not only embarrassing to NoyNoy, Roxas and Korina but to all members and supporters of the Yellow Opposition.

So to prevent further spillage of Liberal Party and Opposition secrets, PNoy all but put masking tape over the mouth of Kris.

Informed sources told The Adobo Chronicles that PNoy was afraid Kris would divulge more damaging and incriminating information in connection with the 2016 elections which, among other things, could jeopardize the case of Vice President Leni Robredo in the ongoing recount of votes in the 2016 Vice Presidential elections.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It didn’t take long since Kris Aquino praised President Rodrigo Duterte for the Yellow bloggers to turn their backs on the ex-President’s sister.

It all started when Aquino ranted on her Instagram Account following a taped segment aired by Korina Sanchez on her TV show. The segment featured Aquino’s ex-husband James Yap.

Not only did Aquino call the segment a slap on her face by the Missus of former presidential candidate Mar Roxas whom Kris campaigned for; she also was all praises for Duterte’s kindness.

To her surprise, Aquino was instantly blocked from the Twitter accounts of her former Yellow army friends, including Jim Paredes, Cynthia Patag, Maria Ressa and Raissa Robles.
