SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – NBA champions Golden State Warriors will hold a fundraiser to celebrate laglag bala, the now internationally-recognized extortion scheme at Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). The scheme involves the alleged ‘planting’ by airport personnel of bullets in bags of unsuspecting passengers.

The Warriors will host a Filipino Heritage event at a California casino on November 14, and will be wearing special edition “shooting shirts,” according to an announcement by event organizers.

In response to a query by The Adobo Chronicles on the significance of the shooting shirts, the organizers said the basketball champs recognize the extraordinary accomplishment by NAIA in putting the Philippines on the world map through the laglag bala scheme.

Proceeds from the sale of the shooting shirts will go towards the continued improvement and modernization of NAIA.

MANILA’S INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT: NAIA RENAMED FEMIA

MANILA, Philippines ( The Adobo Chronicles) – The laglag bala scheme at Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) has caused the Aquino administration so much ridicule and embarrassment that the President has ordered the renaming of the airport to FEMIA.

The scheme involves the alleged ‘planting’ of bullets in the bags of unsuspecting airline passengers for the purpose of extorting money.

“I do not wish the Aquino name to be associated with this international scandal,” Aquino said. NAIA was named after his father who was gunned down at the Manila airport after returning from years of exile in the U.S.

Just in time for next week’s Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Manila, to be attended by some 21 world leaders, the new signage was put up today in austere light switching ceremonies.

Henceforth, NAIA will be called FEMIA: Ferdinand E. Marcos International Airport, in honor of the late dictator, a nemesis of the Aquinos.

The lighting ceremony was led by Senator Bongbong Marcos, Ferdinand’s son, who is a candidate for vice president.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Many people want to travel in style, wearing designer clothes, accessories and bags to express their fashion flair. But travelers to the Philippines are frustrated that they can’t show off their Gucci and other designer luggage and purses because of the laglag bala scheme at Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).

The scheme involves airport personnel allegedly ‘planting’ bullets in bags of unsuspecting passengers for the purpose of extorting money. This has prompted passengers to wrap their luggage in plastic, all but covering the designer logos that they paid lots of money for.

There’s good news!

Gucci has just unveiled its latest travel line consisting of designer plastic wrap that will keep luggage safe, secure but still fashionable (see photo).

So the next time you fly in or out of NAIA, make sure to wrap your check-in and hand-carried bags or balikbayan boxes in Gucci plastic wrap. Don’t leave home without it!
