HOUSTON, Texas (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick just found an ally in his refusal to stand for the playing of the national athem in protest of what he deems are wrongdoings against African Americans and minorities in the United States. That ally is none other than Lady Gaga.
The diva sang the national anthem at last year’s Superbowl 50 at the Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara — standing up of course — but she will sit it out during Superbowl 51 at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas on February 5, 2017.
Lady Gaga, if we were to believe US Magazine, has been chosen to perform during the half-time show for Superbowl 51.
When the national anthem is sung (singer still to be announced), Lady Gaga will be seated inside the green room while awaiting her turn to perform for the half-time show.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Filipino boxing champion and Senator Manny Pacquiao has denied online reports that he is donating $5 Million to support Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s ‘war on drugs.’
The supposed donation was reported by the fake news site, theguard1an.com, and was quickly picked up by other social media sites. (The guard1an is not the same as the British newspaper The Guardian.)
In an interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Pacquiao said he does not have that kind of money to donate to Duterte. “I’m broke at the moment,” he said, “and that’s why I have agreed to come out of retirement and fight WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas.”
“Maybe, if I win this upcoming fight, I may have an extra $5 Million to donate to Duterte’s drug war.”
The Pacquiao-Vargas fight is scheduled on November 5 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
(The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It’s official. Manny Pacquiao has backed out of his upcoming boxing match with reigning WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas earlier scheduled for November 5 in Las Vegas.
The championship fight would have signaled Pacquiao’s return to the ring after he had announced his retirement to focus on his new career as an elected Philippine senator.
But since assuming his office as a legislator, Pacquiao has been enjoying the sessions, committee hearings, and his privilege speeches at the Senate. “I’m loving the limelight, and being behind the podium and the microphone,” he said.
As a former congressman, Pacquiao was criticized for being the top absentee member of the lower house. Filipinos doubted he could deliver on his promise to have a perfect attendance as senator.
So far, other than missing the orientation for neophyte senators, Pacquiao has had a 100% attendance so far.
