MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Less than 5 months since its launching, ALLTV has announced it was renaming the network “NoTV.”

The announcement came after its parent company, Advanced Media Broadcasting System (AMBS Manila) said it was stopping the airing of some of its programs.

Filipino billionaire Manny Villar launched the broadcasting venture last year, using the ABS-CBN-owned transmitter.

Among the top programs stopped are Wowowin, Toni, and MOM.

So the next time you use your TV remote control to search for ALLTV, make sure you input NoTV instead.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – President Bongbong Marcos has just signed a new Executive Order banning the sale of balloons throughout the entire Philippines.

The move was prompted by the recent discovery of a Chinese spy balloon in the skies of Western United States.

In a statement, Malacañang said that the ban is aimed at protecting the Philippines’ security and sovereignty.

“We will not allow any country — friend or foe – to spy on us,” President Bongbong Marcos reportedly said.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Even with food, the Philippines is always on the international radar.

We all know that adobo and sinigang have long been recognized among the best cuisines the world over.

But then again, the Philippines also made it to the list of the world’s top worst food, according to TasteAtlas.

Included in the worst list are Naga City’s Kinalas and the Filipino traditional breakfast Hotsilog.

Kinalas is a Filipino dish of noodles, spices, pork or beef brains, and scraped meat from pork or beef head, with the addition of a thick brown sauce made from dried shrimps, vinegar, garlic, shallots, soy sauce, and fish sauce.

Hotsilog is, of course, that plated breakfast of fried rice, egg and hotdog.

Ex-Vice President Leni Robredo, who hails from Naga, is contemplating on lodging a complaint against TasteAtlas for naming her favorite food among the world’s worst.
