#FirstOnAdoNewsNET: Indie web-series 'Murder Drones' accidentally listed to the American streaming service 'Amazon Prime Video' scheduling for mid-May 2025 (updated as final!!!)

(Written by Rhayniel Saldasal Calimpong / Freelance News Writer and Presenter of AdoNewsNET & Online Media Reporter of Ado Negros TV [temporarily known as OneNETnews and ONC])

(2nd and FINAL UPDATE) ROME, ITALY -- Glitch Productions quietly expanding the American regional streaming service 'Amazon Prime Video' in Italy and Turkey releasing 8 recent episodes of 'Murder Drones' for Season 1. This was followed after video-sharing platform 'YouTube' (Google's parent company "Alphabet") to watch episodes free-of-charge until the series finale in late-August of 2024.

In a now-deleted social media post on Instagram (owned by Meta Platforms Inc. [MPi]), it was listed by accident and is scheduled coming on Friday (May 16th, 2025) at 2am in Italy and 3am in Turkey simultaneously but it may subject to change after. Series creator named 'Mr. Liam Daniel Vickers' distancing away from his own show for GP after one (1) season. They need to hire a better management team due to several issues of hate speech, public harassment, lack of quality control and indie production oversight, forcing that there will be no Season 2 as sources told exclusively to AdoNewsNET.

International streaming experts suggest being on the lookout for this scheduled date in two (2) countries since Murder Drones is part of the indie animation studio 'Glitch Productions'. This was the first time as a paywalled monthly subscription because most episodes may be censored out on YouTube in later seasons. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) officially declare in TV rating system is TV-14-LV from the start, and TV-MA-LV in the middle until series finale in the United States, since APV classified the rating to 16+.

On Friday afternoon (Eastern local time in the U.S.), AdoNewsNET can confirm that they are now securing the multi-international distribution and licensing deal. The May 16 release of Murder Drones on Amazon Prime Video for Season 1 was turned out legit.

Synopsis read to AdoNewsNET: "A heart warming story of "destroy all humans". Sardonic teen worker robot 'Uzi Doorman' gone rogue befriends 'N', an excitable optimistic disassembly drone sent to destroy her, creating what we can assume is a very bad relationship for mankind".

In a press statement, Glitch Productions will be in-charge and full creative control to produce recent and/or new episodes: "As part of this higher vision, we're teaming up with Prime Video [today], who have agreed to support us and our future shows in a multi-title licensing deal. What this means is we keep operating independently, doing what we're doing and Prime Video will give us the support necessary to do more for indie animation and creators than we could have previously. We're [keeping] 100% creative control, completely independent, and our original series will always continue to release on YouTube!", it quoted.

The premiere of 'Murder Drones' on Amazon Prime Video can now be streamed worldwide in more than 240 countries for not just Italy, Turkey and here in Negros Island Region (NIR) in the Philippines... It is currently available for subscribers for that American regional streaming platform.

SPECIAL THANKS to DJ Unikitty (formerly known as ColeThePony in Canada) for sending in an emergency news gathering tip.

#OnlyOnAdoNewsNET: J-Pop star 'Ado' electrifies Manila anime fans with unforgettable 'Hibana' world tour performance

(Written by Rhayniel Saldasal Calimpong / Freelance News Writer and Presenter of AdoNewsNET & Online Media Reporter of Ado Negros TV [temporarily known as OneNETnews and ONC])

PASAY, NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION -- AEG Presents, Ovation Productions and Crunchyroll recently wrapped the concert night in Manila for the Hibana World Tour with Japanese pop star 'Ado' (temporary Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for ONC Holdings) as fans go off-limits for capturing media and even binoculars throughout the event at ShoeMart Mall of Asia in Pasay City.

Anime enthusiasts praised J-Pop star sang inside the cage during the concert performance Thursday night (May 8th, 2025 -- Pasay local time). The revealed setlists of the event are Usseewa, Lucky Bruto, Gira Gira, Show (excluding the Puniru anime version), Kura Kura, Readymade, Mirror, Charles (balloon cover), Elf, Value, Stay Gold (new ending song for Beyblade X), Rule, Fleeting Lullaby, Aishite Aishite Aishite (Kikuo cover), Backlight, Hibana, Episode 10 [X] and Odo. Concluding near the end of the Manila tour in the encore portion is Rockstar, Sia Isobelle Furler's Chandelier (cover) & New Genesis.

People in and outside of Manila are very thankful for making the Japanese concert possible. Within a day before elections in the Philippines, the next upcoming tour is in 'Taipei, Taiwan' at the Linkou Arena on May 11th. The following day after the Manila concert, she went nearby to a local Jollibee store off-camera ordering Jolly Spaghetti, Fries and Mashed Potato. Ado is probably not heading to any of the 4 cities like Bacolod, Dumaguete, Cebu or General Santos; yet stunning archipelagos of Visayas and Mindanao, which might lead to a potential higher demand for extended stays.

AdoNewsNET can confirm on her X Network account (formerly Twitter and owned by X Corporation): "Thank you [Metro and Mega] Manila! It was my first time in the Philippines and I had a great time! You guys are the best!", she concluded in Kanto dialect.

Ado's first tour date for Hibana was previously held around late last April 2025 going to Saitama Super Arena in her hometown of Japan. The final tour is expected by late-August of this year at the Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States of America. With more concerts demanded, especially in such areas like Bacolod, Ado continues her tour in Taiwan, following her global concert schedule in readiness to perform at other places or areas.

FLASH REPORT: Vatican projected new pope from America outplaying Filipino cardinals [#AdoNewsNETExclusive]

ROME, ITALY -- On Thursday night (May 8th, 2025 at 6:10pm onwards -- Italy local time), after a series of black smoke at the Sistine Chapel… The pope has been elected today after beating two-thirds of the majority votes as one of the 133 cardinals from around the globe; including the Philippines with 'Luis Antonio Gokim Tagle', 'Jose Lazaro Fuerte Advincula' and 'Pablo Virgilio Siongco David'.

AdoNewsNET devastated the overnight confidence that the first American pope out of Illinois state named Cardinal 'Robert Francis Prevost', now projectively called "Pope Leo the 14th" leaving all 3 Filipino cardinals, who are not making it from the conclave electoral votes.

At this moment, Pope Leo will soon later be migrating this weekend from Chicago to the Vatican to start his journey around, following the footsteps of now the late-Pope Francis. The historic religious election is a great moment for the leadership in the Catholic Church as Cardinal Prevost becomes the first American pope in the history of the Vatican.

Despite strong representation from the Philippines, with cardinals Tagle, Advincula and David; who were participating in the conclave, the American cardinal secured a decisive victory by obtaining its required two-thirds majority vote. This surprising result reflects the global and ever-growing diversity of papal selection, showing that geographical origin is not a determining factor for papal candidacy.

BALITANG NASYONAL: Expired network franchise of ABS-CBN and slained Dumagueteño Radio Journalist 'Rex Cornelio Pepino' commemorates 5th Anniversary in a failed double democratic press freedom [#OnlyOnAdoNewsNET]

QUEZON, MANILA -- Global pandemic of Coronavirus Disease-19 (CoViD-19), ordering out to now-former Philippine president 'Rodrigo Roa Duterte' as the country's leading commercial broadcasting network 'ABS-CBN' (Alto Broadcasting System-Chronicle Broadcasting Network) shutting down nationwide on Free TV and radio stations, which includes your local newscasts of TV Patrol under ABS-CBN Regional Network Group (RNG) and the retrenchment to lay off 11,000 workers. Some were retired, but others are still there in different networks or staying to their true self as a Kapamilya network.

On Tuesday night (May 5th, 2020), the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) issued a cease and desist (C&D) order against ABS-CBN to halt operations. This affects here in Central Visayas for example are DYMA-TV 12 in both Negros Oriental cities of Valencia & Dumaguete and D9YA-TV Channel 9 in Bohol for relay stations. The affiliate free TV station is DYCB-TV 3 & two (2) Cebu local radio stations are DYAB-AM Radyo Patrol 1512khz and DYLS-FM's My Only Radio (MOR) 97.1mhz in Cebu City. Before 'Kapamilya Channel', ABS-CBN signs off for the final time before 8pm. Radio stations of ABS-CBN go on silent and dead air'd on all Radyo Patrol and MOR networks.

Here in Dumaguete, not only after DYMA-TV 12 ends as a relay station of ABS-CBN, a local radio station of Ultrasonic Broadcasting System Incorporated (UBSI)'s Original Energy FM, within hours after his radio programme 'Pokpokin Mo Baby!' named 'Mr. Rex Cornelio Pepino', a hard-hitting commentator and investigative radio reporter died on the scene, next to the outside of Christian Fellowship Church (CFC) over the National Highway in Barangay Bantayan, shots fired by a suspected man at close range on a motorcycle.

AdoNewsNET can exclusively reveal that 'Rodel Barillo' is the only murderous suspect of Pepino, 40 minutes after ABS-CBN shutdown from the flagship station of DWWX-TV Channel 2 in Metro and Mega Manila. However, just a week later, an eerie sense of déjà vu struck Guihulngan town in Negros Oriental as he himself was killed by unknown assailants. The Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office (NOPPO) has yet to identify any suspects other than Barillo.

Since late-March of 1995, the 25-year franchise of ABS-CBN had expired and was ordered by NTC, thanks to former Philippine president Duterte. While Pepino on the other hand, was not explicitly linked to the deadly drug wars under Duterte's administration, usually the opposite of media killings. And in Central Visayas, there is nothing new to the story outside ABS-CBN shutdown, leaving generally peaceful with a touch of sadness.

5 years after the ABS-CBN shutdown and the tragic killing of 'Rex Cornelio Pepino', the events remain a somber reminder of the challenges faced by media freedom during a tumultuous period in Philippine history. Despite the network's closure and the loss of a dedicated radio journalist in Dumaguete City, the resilience of local communities in Central Visayas endured, preserving a sense of unity and hope amidst significant media and political transformations.

CONSUMER ALERT: Swimming floats for kids sold in local markets contain banned Toxic Substances [#OnlyOnAdoNewsNET]

MAKATI, METRO MANILA -- Inflatable swimming provides children with a fun way to handle hot summer temperatures during election campaigns in the country. Environmental watchdog group 'BAN Toxics' urges people to be on the lookout for unnotified 'Toys and Child Care Articles' (TCCA) because some may contain 'phthalates' and other dangerous restricted chemicals in plastic swimming toys for children.

Per recent market monitoring, the group found numerous stores across Metro Manila selling kiddie swimming toys and floaters priced between PHP50 and PHP200 (U$D0.90 to U$D3.61 dollars), some of which were improperly labeled. In mid-December of 2011, the Department of Health (DOH) issued Administrative Order (AO) #2009-0005-A, restricting the use of harmful phthalates in children's toys by prohibiting the manufacture, sale, distribution and import of toys containing over 0.1% of specific phthalate chemicals known to be used as plasticizers in Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) products.

Citing information from the Environmental Working Group, phthalates are a class of chemicals with endocrine-disrupting properties. Independent research shows that these chemicals raise the risk of cancer and asthma and cause learning problems and behavior challenges in children: "Our monitoring shows that manufacturers and distributors of swimming toys and floaters are not fully aware of the existing regulations in the country, thus compromising children's health and safety due to exposure to toxic chemicals. The entry of restricted toys with toxic additives must be prevented, especially if we already have laws in place to protect against the use of toxic chemicals in children's products", said Thony Dizon, Toxics Campaigner of BAN Toxics told AdoNewsNET.

The group released its findings in late-November 2024 which demonstrated the harmful impact of plastic toys on public health and the environment. In their study, the group analyzed 257 samples and found 161 or 62.64% of the toys violated the safety standards and misleading essential products. All the toys had incomplete labeling, despite the existing law of Republic Act #10620 or the Toy and Game Safety Labeling Act of 2013.

BAN Toxics wants national authorities to focus on passing the "Safe and Non-Hazardous Children's Products Act" ahead of Philippine elections to safeguard children from plastic toy chemicals. Agency officials asked the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to inspect products on sale and remove unlabeled child products from the market.

#AdoNewsNETInvestigates: From 'Usseewa' to Unlawful Facial Identity Crisis -- Japanese Pop star 'Ado' reacts Damage Publicity on stream in Japan

(Written by Rhayniel Saldasal Calimpong / Freelance News Writer, Investigative Reporter and News Presenter of AdoNewsNET)

TOKYO, JAPAN -- An evening of concert performance turned out into a public crisis and compromised as one Japanese pop star 'Ado' terribly cringed as an introvert after 5 months from their 2nd LIVE show 'Campanella' at 'Saitama Super Arena' (SSA) in mid-August 2022 signing 'Odo'. Kanto Regional Police Bureau (KRPB), Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department (TMPD), and the officials of the SSA starts us off from here.

Two years ago from Tuesday night (January 3rd, 2023 -- Japan local time), per an exclusive on-stream broadcast via video-sharing platform 'YouTube' (Google's parent company "Alphabet"), her exposure during Ado's performance got compromised on multiple camera sets. But first, a short brief context if you never heard about her.

Japanese singer 'Ado' started her pop music career by releasing her hit single 'Usseewa' in the late of October 2020 achieving dominance on Japan's music charts. She began as an "utaite" performer who made online cover versions before gaining fame for her exceptional vocal talent. In early mid-June 2022, she provided the singing voice for Uta, a character in "One Piece Film: Red", and her song New Genesis became a global hit, including right here in Negros Island Region (NIR). Ado achieves great success yet chooses to conceal her facial appearance when appearing in public. Her collaborations with different artists combined with her ongoing chart dominance secure her status as Japan's leading rising music talent.

Now, the alleged event organizer seems to be in hot boiling water with Sony Music Entertainment Japan (SMEJ) for possibly flouting the no-recording or photography rules. One fateful night, she was filled with dread and remorse over her actions during a past concert, aside from the penlights for paying concert-goers, all while staying within legal boundaries. The downside? She had a strong aversion to being filmed for Japanese viewers, even those who didn’t attend the concert, attempting to keep her identity hidden but ultimately falling short.

She does not have any mental illness or health concerns but is deeply troubled by the incident for its mismanagement and breach of privacy. Legal experts consulted by our investigative team of AdoNewsNET indicate that if the highlighted video was indeed recorded without extremely explicit consent, the perpetrator could face significant legal repercussions, including rough potential fines of up to JP¥500,000 (or PHP192,839 Philippine pesos), and several criminal charges such as Copyright Act, Defamation and Public Harassments for both concert promoter and organizers.

Police in Japan are currently investigating the situation where the world is watching out of her main hometown in Tokyo, even so for SSA venue management and strict security protocols in the Saitama prefecture. Ado tried to fix everything up before the next concert tour ensuring to play fair without fear of being filmed or being recorded. If she fails to make a public apology to SMEJ, Ado is forced to end her unlawful music contract with SMEJ and shift her focus to other creative pursuits with a different music agency that allows her the privacy and control she desires in later concert venues.

This traumatic incident exploding outbursts of anger emphasizes the critical importance of strict privacy protections in its freshest music of entertainment, particularly for Japanese artists in the J-Pop scene who value anonymity and personal boundaries. A distressing experience for Ado may be facing some potential psychological harm caused by unauthorized concert recordings in the past and present, as well as the urgent need for stronger legal safeguards to prevent such invasive breaches of consent, emphasizing the importance of protecting artists' rights and mental health combined in the digital age.
