Well, it’s baaaack! Thanks to world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao.

Pacquiao who is also a Philippine congressman and a karaoke addict, has recorded the hit song in Los Angeles. It will be released in a few weeks as a single and producers are predicting it to go platinum.

Although Pacquiao’s cover of the song hasn’t yet been released, the original recording by Idina Menzel, a.k.a. Adele Dazeem, has already climbed back to number one in the music charts.  Critics are saying that once the Pacquiao version is out, it would easily replace the Menzel original in  the top spot.

The producers of the Pacquiao single have come up with a brilliant promo campaign featuring Drake, the popular Canadian recording artist, rapper, songwriter, and actor.  In the promo video, Drake mimics Pacquiao recording the song

“We want to have a surprise element, so we decided that the promo video would not show Pacquiao himself,” the producers said. “We want fans to build up expectation and excitement for the real thing,” they added.

Here is the promo video:

“We will come up with perhaps the manifestation of the support – if I still have the support – of our people, and concrete examples of this, perhaps wearing a yellow ribbon, among other things, just to demonstrate exactly in a quick manner where the sentiments of our people lie.”

How will YOU wear your yellow ribbon? Let us know in the comment section.

Manila, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Following the footsteps of his political idol Richard Nixon, Philippine President NoyNoy Aquino is set to announce his resignation in an address to his nation to be televised in prime time this week. For security reasons, Malacañang, the presidential palace, is not saying what day this week the president is making this unprecedented move.

The beleaguered Aquino administration has been in hot water as a result of a Supreme Court decision declaring as unconstitutional Aquino’s action of using non-discretionary funds under the Disbursement Acceleration Program or DAP for questionable purposes, not the least of which was sending monetary “gifts” to senators who voted for the impeachment of former Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona.

Sources close to Aquino who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, said that the real reason for Aquino’s decision to quit is his declining popularity among fans and supporters of actress Nora Aunor. Aquino snubbed Aunor in the naming of this year’s National Artists.

“The fans and supporters of Ms. Aunor constitute 90 percent of the country’s population,” the sources said, “and the president understands that he can no longer perform his duties with very little support from the Filipinos.

The Adobo Chronicles will bring you the presidential announcement live when it happens.
