The Noon-time TV Show Ratings Are In: It’s A Three-Way Tie!

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – July 1st marked the day when the controversy-laden noon-time television variety shows went on air — simultaneously.

The musical chair of the three most-popular shows sent Filipino fans defending their favorite show and cast while others tried to make a mountain out of a mole hill with all sorts of bashing and criticism.

But in the end, the three shows — GMA 7’s “EAT BULAGA” (new cast), GTV’s “IT’S SHOWTIME” and TV 5’s “E.A.T.” (Tito, Vic & Joey’s resurrection) are in a virtual tie — as in dead heat!

The Adobo Chronicles engaged the services of our in-house AI (Artificial Intelligence) to investigate this phenomenon.

It turns out that the three-way tie was a result of appliance stores in malls all over the country showed the three shows simultaneously on their display TVs.

Peace was given a chance!

DOT Adds A Comma To The Tourism Slogan “Love The Philippines”

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Punctuation matters. A Lot!

The Department of Tourism (DOT) has added a comma to its controversial new slogan, “Love The Philippines.”

The revised slogan is now “Love, The Philippines.”

Tourism Secretary Christian Garcia-Frasco said the revised meme better reflects the intent of the new branding.

“It is a love letter from the Philippines,” she told The Adobo Chronicles.

But it turns out it is a letter from the Philippines to other countries in Asia and the Middle East — a letter of shock and awe at the beautiful tourism sites in these foreign countries, specifically, Thailand, Indonesia and the UAE.

But the revised slogan came only after vlogger Sass Rogando Sasot uncovered that some of the video clips used in the “Love The Philippines” promo were stock videos and worse, were not videos of the Philippines

DOT must have paid a lot of money for licenses to use the stock videos – totaling almost P50 million!
