GCash Damage Control: Renames Itself GCrash!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – GCash has always been a household word when it comes to financial transactions, bill payments and fund transfers. It is the Philippines’ answer to Visa, Mastercard or American Express, sans the credit check or proof of employment and source of income.

But GCash has been plagued by  computer and technical glitches that have upset many account holders who have mysteriously lost money in their fund balances or were unable to access the online app.

So the beleaguered company is doing some serious damage control so as not to lose its millions of customers.

It is re-branding and changing its name to GCrash.

Very appropriate!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In anticipation of the eventual acquittal of former Senator Leila de Lima in the last remaining criminal case filed against her, a group identified with the political opposition is set to launch a new party in preparation for the next Philippine presidential elections.

Distancing itself from the Liberal Party, the independent party under which Leni Robredo ran and lost, and the all-hype 1Sambayan, this new political party rallies behind former Senator Leila de Lima who, just today was acquitted in one of the two remaining criminal cases against her.

The new group is also considering fielding de Lima as its presidential candidate in 2028.

The new party will be called LDP: Leila DeLima Party.

Philippine Senator Risa Hontiveros Raises Wrong Issue With The Wrong China!

Leave a comment

TAIPEI, Taiwan (The Adobo Chronicles, Taipei Bureau) – Philippine Senator Risa Hontiveros may have been confused, or simply ignorant when she recently met with Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen.

The opposition senator took pride in bringing up with Ing-wen the issue on the West Philippine Sea in which the Philippines is involved in a territorial dispute with the People’s Republic of China.

Hontiveros may not have been briefed beforehand that the Philippines adheres to a “One China Policy,”recognizing that PRC is the only legitimate China.

Or did the senator think Taiwan can help resolve the Philippines’ issue with PRC? Or worse, did she think she was meeting with the president of PRC?

Many believe that while she is a senator, Hontiveros does not have authority to speak on behalf of the Executive Department regarding a policy issue that truly belongs to the Philippine president, i.e., President Bongbong Marcos.
