SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Former Commission on Elections Chief Andy Bautista appeared in court yesterday to post bail after he was sued by the U.S. government for alleged money laundering.

Bautista, who fled the Philippines in 2017 to escape accusations of unexplained wealth and to dodge a subpoena issued by the Senate, was all smiles as he handed the clerk of court a check for $50,000.

The Adobo Chronicles caught up with Bautista as he was leaving the courthouse. We asked him about his urgency was in posting bail.

He said Sunday, September 24, is Folsom Street Fair, the annual street gathering/party of leather-loving San Franciscans and those with all sorts of fetishes connected with cowhide. (Bautista is known in the Philippines of having a leather fetish, and Filipinos call him “boy latigo,” meaning whip boy.)

“I wouldn’t miss Folsom for anything,” he said.

We asked him what he intends to wear to the fair but he declined to say. “I have a flair for surprises,” he said, “so I’ll see there.”

NAIA Security Guard Turns Out To Be A Mere Copycat!

NINOY AQUINO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The airport security guard caught on CCTV swallowing three hundred dollars allegedly stolen from a departing passenger at NAIA turns out to be a second-rate, trying hard copycat!

Her act caught the entire world by surprise and disbelief as a never-before thought of MO (modus operandi) by airport personnel to steal from passengers.

But alas, dollar-swallowing is not a new phenomenon. Others elsewhere in the world have done so with much larger amounts and without the peering eyes of CCTVs.

Sorry, no Guinness world record for the Philippines this time!

Adobo Chronicles Responds to Blogger Mark Anthony Lopez

SAN JOSE, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Bureau)- Blogger and DJ extraordinaire Mark Anthony Lopez has accused The Adobo Chronicles of having no substance. He humors us.

He may have over 200K followers, but that doesn’t even come close to our 28M views. Imagine 28M people devoid of substance!

So we decided to sweep Lopez’s comment under the rug. But first, a heart-warming response to this soul who fits the bill for a KSP or Kulang Sa Pansin (Lacking in attention).

We might consider moving on if Mr. Lopez posts a public apology for his comment on AC. Otherwise, we’ll continue to tickle his bone till it breaks!

Mark Anthony Lopez, the self-proclaimed connoisseur of intellectual discourse, recently graced us with his profound critique of The Adobo Chronicles, declaring it devoid of substance. While Lopez’s insightful analysis might lead us to believe that he’s the guardian of journalistic integrity, we can’t help but chuckle at the irony. For a man who seems to have a profound fondness for hot air and vacuity, his assessment of this satirical news site leaves us in stitches. Clearly, Lopez’s finely honed taste for substance has left him ill-prepared for the clever wit and sharp humor that The Adobo Chronicles serves up. Perhaps a dictionary and a sense of humor are in order, Mr. Lopez.
