CAIRO, Egypt (The Adobo Chronicles, Cairo Bureau) – It’s May 1st — just a little over a week since Leni Robredo lost big to Bongbong Marcos in the 2022 presidential elections. She hasn’t publicly conceded since then.

But that is about to change.

Reliable sources are telling The Adobo Chronicles that Robredo is ready to concede, and she will do it on the anniversary of the May 9, 2022 elections.

So what made her change her mind?

Our sources said that she is enjoying her ordinary citizen status, traveling to different countries and pursuing her deep passion for cosplay.

It will be recalled that during the campaign, she donned several attires including, hadouken, karate master and Miss Universe. Recently she was in Japan modeling a Samurai costume, and in Egypt, putting on a Cleopatra outfit.

We wish her well in the years to come!

LONDON, The United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, London Bureau) – It is a rare display of pomp and royalty — a historic event that people around the world are looking forward to — the coronation of King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla.

But one very important person — self-proclaimed investigative journalist and failed book author Raissa Robles has announced on her Twitter page that she is NOT watching the coronation live, adding that the King doesn’t deserve to be the head of the Church of England.

The news reached Buckingham Palace and immediately, the King and Queen Consort issued a statement through the Philippine Embassy in London that they are saddened by the personal choice of Robles.

In the Philippines, the Movement for Media Reform (MMR) had a different view. It responded to Robles’ tweet, saying that “it wouldn’t make the slightest dent” if she didn’t watch the coronation.

ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES: Motorcycle-riding Human Ad Billboards!

April 30, 2023 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The first thing that tourists to Metro Manila see en route from the airport to their hotel are the giant billboards that line the streets, advertising underwear, cosmetics, subdivisions, memorial parks, liquor, fast food, attention-deficit politicians, and yes, even the Bible.

But leave it to the entrepreneurial skills of the Filipinos, human beings can now be turned into walking or motoring billboards.

Move It, an on-demand booking platform that provides safe, accessible, and affordable motorcycle-taxi rides, has introduced human billboards and invites commercial advertisers to place their ads on the backs of the riders.

With the nightmarish traffic along many thoroughfares in the metropolis, it may well be worth investing in the human ads for maximum exposure!
