MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Not everyone can take the heat, especially if it involves extreme embarrassment. Such is the fate of Gab Valenciano, son of Filipino singer Gary Valenciano.
Many will recall that embarrassing performance of Gab, singing and dancing to a tune exhorting the impending presidency and vice presidency of Leni Robredo and Kiko Pangilinan.
Well the rest is history. Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte won the elections by a landslide.
Today Gab announced he was moving (back) to Los Angeles. For good.
BANGUED, Abra (The Adobo Chronicles, Bangued Bureau) – Four days ago, Adobo Chronicles publisher and editor predicted that the Philippine Telcos will ask for an extension in the registration of SIM cards as prescribed by law.
Under the Republic Act (RA) 11934 or the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Registration Act, signed by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., the registration started on December 7 2022 and will end on April 26 2023.
Lo and behold, that prediction has come to fruition.
Less than a week before deadline day, the Telcos have asked for extension.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – If you had packages delivered to you by courier — whether it be stuff you ordered from Lazada or Shopee, or food you bought through Grab or Food Panda, you know the delivery personnel ask to take a picture of you as proof of delivery.
Well, that is going to change soon.
After customer complaints that the taking of photos during package delivery is a violation of privacy rights. The law says that you can refuse to have your photo taken.
So, in order to comply with the law, the courier companies have revised their delivery protocol. They will still take your photo, but they will ask you for a wacky pose. That way, your real self won’t be recognizable.
