MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Many baby boomer Filipinos grew up living with typhoons and other calamities without any suspension or cancellation of school classes.
But today, classes are suspended left and right for mere forecasts of bad weather and other natural occurrences such volcanic activity or man-made occurrences like transportation strikes or international events being held in the country.
Now, many parents are demanding a refund of their children’s tuition fees for every day schools remain closed due to the “#WalangPasok” phenomenon.
Citing the unforeseen inconvenience of having their little angels at home, parents argue that they should only pay for days when their offspring are professionally supervised.
One disgruntled parent quipped, “If my child isn’t studying with a teacher, I should get a discount. It’s not like I can teach them calculus!”
NAGA CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Naga City Bureau) – Ex-Vice President Leni Robredo managed to achieve the impossible: she disappeared just in time for President Bongbong Marcos’ visit to Camarines Sur.
As the President arrived in the Bicol Region on Saturday, September 23, to launch the Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair, a government initiative aimed at bringing essential services closer to the public, Robredo apparently saw the writing on the wall and vanished faster than you can say “rice distribution.”
Even her kababayan wondered whatever happened to her claim during the 2022 presidential campaign that she’s always “first on the ground.” This time, she was first to leave town.
Observers said she couldn’t swallow what apparently would be a very warm reception for Marcos in her own turf. They added that her much ballyhooed Angat Buhay volunteer program couldn’t match what Marcos did in her hometown.
QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – The future of Philippine entertainment is set to be revolutionized as AI hosts prepare to replace Vice Ganda and the gang on the noontime TV program, “It’s Showtime!”
Tired of human error, unpredictable humor and frequent violation of MTRCB (Movie & Television Ratings and Classification Board) guidelines, ABS-CBN and GMA Network have agreed to embrace the efficiency of artificial intelligence.
These computerized comperes are expected to never tell a bad joke or rely on outdated punchlines. They’ll boast 100% punctuality and be impervious to emotional breakdowns.
Farewell to the days of spontaneity and laughter; say hello to a perfectly calculated, algorithm-driven future! Who needs the genuine charm and wit of humans when we can have AI hosts deliver one-liners like clockwork?
The networks’ announcement came just a day after the National Collegiate Athletic Association said that AI sportscasters will debut in NCAA Season 99.
