TOKYO, Japan (The Adobo Chronicles, Tokyo Bureau) – The Olympics are all about friendly competition, but they are also about world peace.

While as of press time, the U.S. leads China in the medal haul, the Chinese are standing proud that their flag ranks first overall.
HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles, Hollywood Bureau) – Movie fans will again be able to hear that famous line, “I’m the King of the World,” made popular in the film, “Titanic!”
Disney Films has announced that it is releasing an animated version of the blockbuster movie. But with a twist.
All the characters in the remake are animals and the story picks up from the biblical story of Noah’s Ark.
The two main characters are elephants that caused the sinking of the Titanic, as can be gleaned from this early promo release from Disney.
Filipino singer and actress Lea Salonga will sing the new film’s theme song, “My Heart Will Go On.”
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Opposition Senator Risa Hontiveros has filed a bill that would award Rappler CEO Maria Ressa P10 Million for the honor she has brought to the country by being previously named one of TIME magazine’s “Persons of the Year.”
Citing the law that grants a P10 Million reward to Filipinos who win an Olympic gold medal, Hontiveros said the honor that Ressa has brought to the country is as valuable as a gold medal. She was referring to Republic Act 10699, also known as the National Athletes and Coaches Benefits and Incentives Act.
The Senator also urged the private sector to contribute to the financial reward to Ressa, just like they did for Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz.
Ressa, in a text message to The Adobo Chronicles welcomed the move by Hontiveros, saying the money would help her foot the legals bills she is facing as a result of her Cyber Libel conviction and other pending criminal charges against her.
