Meme Intended To Promote ‘Old Cast’ Of EAT BULAGA Backfires!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A meme posted on social media by an obviously over-eager Tito, Vic and Joey (TVJ) loyalist just backfired!

The meme showed a group photo of the cast of the original EAT BULAGA cast as well as that of the new cast. It described the old cast as “branded” and the new as “generic.” The intent seemed to portray the new cast as cheap (or cheaper) — like generic being cheaper than branded drugs.

But The Adobo Chronicles reminded news consumers about the truth on branded and generic drugs:

Though the names are different, generic and brand-name drugs work the same. According to the FDA, generic drugs are just as effective as their branded counterparts. Generic name drugs typically cost about 80% to 85% less than branded drugs.

So in effect, the meme suggests that the new cast is as effective as the old.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – U.S. President Joe Biden has lower approval ratings than Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of Switzerland, Mexico,Italy, Ireland and Canada. In fact, Biden is less popular than Philippine President Bongbong Marcos!

But that’s not the news.

Marcos is the most popular world leader today!

The latest global leader approval rating gathered by Morning Consult shows India’s Modi on top of the list. How then is Marcos the most popular?

Well, Morning Consult Political Intelligence is currently tracking the approval ratings of government leaders in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Not the Philippines.

But if the Philippines were to be tracked, latest national surveys show Marcos having a 78% approval rating — higher than Modi’s 77%!

And that, ladies and gentlemen (and you too, fact checkers), is a fact!

MOSCOW, Russia (The Adobo Chronicles) – Russia on Sunday said it had destroyed at least seven German-made Leopard tanks and five U.S.-made Bradley vehicles over 48 hours while repelling Ukrainian attacks.

Almost immediately, Swedish environmental activist sent a very strong and direct message to Vladimir Putin, asking the Russian president to stop destroying leopards.

In a Messenger chat with The Adobo Chronicles, Thunberg lamented the killing of wild animals which provide a necessary and healthy balance to the environment.

But when we showed photos of Leopard tanks, Thunberg abruptly dropped from our conversation.
