Manila, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – In Philippine cinema, there are only two recognized factions of fans: Noranians and Vilmanians. The former are fans of multi-awarded actress Nora Aunor and the latter are followers of rival actress and now governor of Batangas province Vilma Santos.

There is a raging controversy right now surrounding President NoyNoy Aquino’s exclusion of Miss Aunor from this year’s nomination for National Artists. Aquino said that the snub was due to Aunor’s “drug past” and that National Artists should be role models.

Well, the president’s sister, TV host Kris Aquino, a certified Vilmanian, just spoiled Santos’ chances of ever being named National Artist.

Kris posted a photo on her Instagram account – that of some pastries given her by Santos. With the gift came a handwritten note in which Santos misspelled ‘blessed’ (bless) and ‘truly’ (truely). The post immediately went viral and Noranians were one in saying that National Artists, at the very least, should know how to spell correctly. “They have to be role models,” they said.

A potential great honor that went pooooof, thanks to Kris Aquino!

Manila, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The exclusion of award-winning actress Nora Aunor from this year’s list of National Artists has created an uproar among many Filipinos here and abroad. All blame points to President NoyNoy Aquino.

Here are the top ten reasons Aquino snubbed La Aunor:

Nora Aunor has an uncanny resemblance to ex-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
President Aquino is reserving a spot for his sister, Kris Aquino
President Aquino received thousands of emails from Vilmanians opposing Aunor’s nomination
President Aquino believes that Aunor is a Marcos Loyalist
Aunor has won more awards and recognition than Aquino
Aunor’s past drug problem might bring attention to Aquino’s own addiction
President Aquino thinks that in order to be a National Artist, one must be able to paint
In making his final choices for National Artist, Aquino played ‘jack n poy’ with Vice President Jejomar Binay
President Aquino wanted a nominee from his home province of Tarlac. Aunor is Bicolana
Aquino wants to live up to his reputation of being clueless.

Bonus reason:

11. “Aunor” sounds too close to Aquino’s nickname, “Abnoy”

KRIS AQUINO ADMITS TO A BROKEN HEART, BUT THE REASON IS NOT WHAT MOST PEOPLE THINK

June 11, 2014 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

Quezon City, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Philippine TV host and presidential sister Kris Aquino has publicly admitted she still has a broken heart. This, according to an Instagram message she sent to her fans as she took a day off from work yesterday.

Netizens immediately connected Kris’ broken heart to fellow movie actor and Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista. It will be recalled that a few months back, Kris was romantically linked with Bautista. Their relationship was cut short with the mayor saying he would want to prioritize his children first.

However, sources close to Aquino told The Adobo Chronicles that Bautista has nothing to do with Kris’ broken heart. The TV host is devastated because the movie The Amazing Spiderman 2 was a huge box office success in the Philippines.

During a Singapore interview many weeks ago with Spiderman lead actor Andrew Garfield, Aquino boasted that no film – local or foreign – will ever surpass the opening-day box office success of My Little Bossings, a slapstick Filipino movie that starred Aquino’s son, Bimby. As it turned out, Spiderman broke all box office records in the Philippines, grossing over 100 Million pesos in just its first two days of screenings.

“I am so embarrassed and devasted. My heart is broken. I should have just kept my big mouth shut,” Aquino was heard saying as she packed her bag and left work to take a day off.

She also took a break from her Instagram account.
