LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – There is no stopping the controversies following the May 2 ‘Fight of the Century’ between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather.

A new, serious allegation has just surfaced: that Mayweather took prohibited drugs in his locker room at MGM Grand just before he entered the ring to face the Filipino boxer.

According to a news report, multiple bottles of the pill Muscle Rev were found in Mayweather’s locker room.

While the steroid-like pill is legal, many sports federations, including the World Boxing Association, have banned its use by their athletes.

If proven, the allegation could overturn the judges’ unanimous decision declaring Mayweather the winner of the controversial fight.

But Mayweather fans can breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Singer Justin Bieber has come forward to announce that those pill bottles were his, not Mayweather’s.

Bieber is a known fanatic of Mayweather, always standing beside the boxer  at ringside and in the locker room.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – President NoyNoy Aquino returned to Manila Monday from a five-day trip to Canada and the United States with what he enthusiastically described as “good news.”

The good news consists of pledges for more Canadian investments in the Philippines and  a package of initiatives boosting trade and labor relations with this North American country.

To demonstrate his highly successful negotiations during his Canadian state visit, Aquino said that in the next 60 to 90 days, several ships will arrive at the Port of Manila, with hundreds of containers bearing recycled trash.

“This will augment the containers from Canada that arrived in Manila in 2013,” Aquino said. The importation consisted of about fifty 40-foot container vans of non-recyclable plastics, used adult diapers, broken bottles and glasses, waste paper and household/kitchen waste.

“Diplomacy works. We are proud to have brokered a very healthy trade cooperation with Canada,” Aquino told reporters.
