MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Divisoria is a commercial district in Manila which Filipinos consider a haven for the utmost bargains — from food to clothing to housewares, plants and decors.
Well, even America’s famous personalities like Elon Musk, Leonardo Di Carpio and Tom Cruise are joining in the bandwagon.
Despite their intentions to be incognito, they couldn’t escape the discerning eyes of Pinoys. So photos of them ordering street food have flooded social media.
The Department of Tourism couldn’t be more happy that these personalities are helping promote the Philippines to the international world – at zero expense to the government.
LONDON, The United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, London Bureau) – Wherever Philippine President Bongbong Marcos goes, ex-Vice President Leni Robredo goes! And she does it in full regalia: as her favorite cosplay character, the Samurai warrior(ess).
In Washington, D.C., Robredo led U.S. President Joe Biden in his ceremonial welcome for Marcos at The White House.
Her next stop: London — during the coronation of Prince Charles and Queen Consort Camilla.
Who needs to be Philippine President when she can hob-nob with the world’s leading heads of state, in close proximity.
Is Vladimir Putin and Russia next on Robredo’s itinerary?
PARIS, France (The Adobo Chronicles, Paris Bureau)- The big news this week is not about the museum visitor who ate the fresh banana in Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan artwork displayed at a museum in Seoul, South Korea. (The artwork consists of a ripe banana attached to a wall with duct tape). It reportedly costs $160,000.
Rather, our very own publisher at The Adobo Chronicleswas invited to display his original artwork at the Louvre museum in Paris, France. Our publisher’s artwork features a Chinese eggplant attached to a canvas with white tape. He was offered $200,000 to display at the museum, plus free roundtrip ticket at hotel accommodation to attend the opening of the exhibit.
