Lea Salonga Hires New York Bouncer!

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – Still reeling from the trauma of a fan storming her dressing room for a photo at the Broadway Theater in New York City, Filipina singer and actress Lea Salonga has engaged the professional services of a bouncer.

Salonga is currently starring in “Here Lies Love,” a musical about former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos’ astonishing rise to power and subsequent fall at the hands of the Philippine People Power Revolution. She plays Aurora Aquino, the mother of slain Senator Benigno “Ninoy Aquino.”

Since that fateful night, Salonga has been issuing statement after statement to the news and social media, defending herself and asserting her rights, even as a celebrity, to privacy and safe space.

To prevent the repeat of the harrowing incident, Salonga’s dressing room will now be guarded by an unnamed bouncer, provided by a New York private security agency.

That should serve as a warning for unauthorized fans to not even try to sneak into her dressing room for the rest of her engagement with the Broadway show.

Maria Ressa Would Fail In A U.S. Citizenship Exam!

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Every American and all those who are naturalized U.S. citizens are all too familiar with the phrase, “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” They are three inalienable rights embodies in the U.S. Declaration of Independence.

But it seems Nobel Laureate, Rappler CEO and convicted criminal Maria Ressa needs some civic lessons. She would fail in a U.S. citizenship exam.

Her template narratives always include the claim that she is risking her “life and liberty” in fighting the Philippine government and her alleged advocacy of press freedom. Time and again, she has omitted “pursuit of happiness.”

Is it because she is not a happy camper? Or is she not happy because her online news blog is the least-trusted news brand in the Philippines?

Only Ressa knows what she knows.
