LENI would start with “Ang sa akin lang…” (As far as I am concerned…)
SARA would start with “No comment” and end with “Shukran.”

Ah, the grand spectacle of young graduates draped in money garlands, parading their academic triumphs while we, the mere plebeians, watch in awe and mild nausea. Is this an insensitive display of wealth or just another episode of “Keeping Up with the Commencement Kardashians”?
Tradition, you say? Or perhaps just another hallmark of our consumer-driven society, where even education has a price tag—and it’s in crisp peso or dollar bills.
And those money-studded ceremonies? Why not? If newlyweds can turn into human ATMs at weddings, why shouldn’t our fresh graduates get their share?
And as for those garish money birthday cakes from Red Ribbon or Goldilocks, fear not! They’re not polluting young minds; they’re simply preparing them for a world where sugar highs are the only way to cope with economic lows.
Welcome to the glittering chaos of modern celebration.

A video posted by a netizen claims to show a new glass bridge tourist attraction in Baguio City. However, several inconsistencies and factual errors raise red flags about its authenticity.
No Baguio resident, including the Adobo Chronicles publisher, has seen such a bridge. The narrator confuses Baguio with the Cordilleras and Benguet with Mountain Province, incorrectly mentioning a view of Mt. Pulag, which is too far from Baguio to be visible.
Additionally, the individuals seen walking on the bridge appear to be foreigners, likely Chinese, suggesting footage from the Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge or similar structure in China.
While there is a planned glass walkway at Mines View Park in Baguio, it is a government-private partnership project still far from completion. Thus, the video’s claims are unsubstantiated and misleading, perhaps a desperate attempt to gather more engagement for his incognito vlog.
