CARLSON TUCKER APOLOGIZES TO ASIAN AMERICAN JOURNALISTS ASSOCIATION FOR DAILY CALLER ARTICLE

Washington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Conservative commentator Carlson Tucker, editor-in-chief and founder of the news site The Daily Caller, has apologized to the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) for an article posted on the site. It was written by TDC’s managing editor Christopher Bedford.

The article accused AAJA of “concealing” the location of its 2014 Annual National Convention which opens today in Washington, D.C. It claims that the nonprofit journalism organization misled its convention attendees by announcing a downtown D.C. venue when in fact, the convention hotel is in Chinatown.

Tucker said he has placed Bedford on administrative leave pending a full investigation of what happened.

“Bedford intended his piece to be a guest blog post in The Adobo Chronicles, but erroneously posted it on The Daily Caller,” Tucker said. “We are a respectable, legitimate news organization and the publication of a bad satire has hurt our reputation,” he added.

The Adobo Chronicles was unsuccessful in reaching AAJA President Paul Chung by cell phone for his reaction to Tucker’s apology. Apparently, wi-fi access in the basement of the convention hotel is, at most, spotty.

THALIA TO FILIPINO FANS: KRIS AQUINO’S REVELATION IS TRUE

August 12, 2014 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

Mexico City, Mexico (The Adobo Chronicles) – Philippine presidential sister and TV host Kris Aquino thought she had an exclusive scoop when she announced on her show that Mexican singer Thalia had parts of her ribs removed in order to look thinner.

Well, to Aquino’s disappointment, it wasn’t a real scoop.

Thalia posted a photograph on her Instagram account showing the alleged rib parts in a jar filled with a preservative liquid. Pickled ribs, in a sense.

With the Instagram post, Thalia said: “To all my loving Filipino fans, here’s the proof. The chismis (gossip) being spread by Aquino is true.”

In an interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Thalia said, “Okay, now that I’ve come clean, it’s time for Kris Aquino to post photos of her STD.” Aquino had previously gone public about her relationship with former basketball player, actor and politician Joey Marquez, saying she had contracted a sexually transmitted disease when she was with Marquez. It earned her the title of STD Queen.

Meanwhile, the famous singer remained gracious in a follow up post on her Instagram account, offering Aquino and co-host Boy Abunda to try some of her pickled ribs. “It’s good for bulalo soup,” Thalia said, referring to a popular Filipino dish – soup boiled with beef bone marrow.

MOVE OVER HOT COP OF CASTRO, HERE COMES HOT COP OF MANILA

August 12, 2014 Pol Pinoy 1 Comment

Manila, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Forget the Hot Cop of Castro. There’s a new face (and body) that’s causing a lot of heads to turn. And yes, he’s a cop – real cop.

Police Officer 2 (PO2) Mariano Flormata, Jr., a.k.a. Neil Perez, is one of the contestants in a male beauty pageant, Misters of the Philippines 2014. The pageant will be held in Manila this September.

Flormata is no newbie to the runway. His most recent assignment is with the Aviation Security Group at Ninoy Aquino International Airport’s Terminal 3. Get it? Runway?

He is trained in bomb disposal and aircraft hijacking, so don’t try any tricks on him.

We’ll stop right here and let his pictures do the talking. Oh, and yes, he does have a Facebook page. Not quite 50,000 “likes’ that the Hot Cop of Castro has. But it’s just a matter of time!
