Baguio Country Club Refuses Entry For Vice Ganda!

Leave a comment

BAGUIO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Baguio City Bureau) – You would think that the mere sight of showbiz personality Vice Ganda would be an automatic pass for him to be allowed entry to the exclusive, member-only Baguio Country Club.

But no. Rules are rules.

The “It’s Showtime” host recently shared the incident where the Country Club security refused to let him in even after he pleaded that his main purpose was only to buy some bread, presumably the ever-popular BCC raisin bread.

It seems like nobody ever told Vice Ganda that he could get the bread from the BCC stall at SM Baguio Mall. Same bread. Same price. But no pretentious elite privilege!

LTRFB To Require Air-Conditioning For All Buses!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – As part of its public transportation modernization program, the Land Transportation and Regulatory and Franchising Board (LTRFB) is now requiring all public buses to install air-conditioning in all their units.

But it is also aware that purchasing new air-conditioned buses may pose some financial difficulty for some bus companies.

So, as a compromise, LTRFB is allowing buses to just install home aircon units on their existing buses, as long as they are at least 1.5 HP.

Japan Declares Gilas Pilipinas Coach Chot Reyes Persona Non Grata!

Leave a comment

TOKYO, Japan (The Adobo Chronicles, Tokyo Bureau) – Chot Reyes will not be able to step into Japan again following the Japanese government’s declaration of the controversial Gilas Pilipinas coach ‘persona non grata.’

The declaration, effective immediately, came in the wake of Reyes’ statement hoping that Japan loses its next game in the ongoing FIBA World Cup in the Philippines.

Reyes made the statement as his way out of criticism lodged against him for his incompetence in coaching the Philippine basketball team. The Philippines has so far lost two our of two games it has played.

The declaration, signed by no less than Emperor Naruhito, cited Reyes for his lack of sportsmanship and for disrespecting Japan, considering that its team is competing fair and square in the host country.

As persona non grata, Reyes is not welcome to visit Japan — not even to coach the Philippine team if ever it plays in a tournament in that country.

The Japanese government said it was unbecoming for the Filipino coach to make such a statement especially in light of his country’s new tourism campaign of “Love the Philippines.”
