NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles® )- Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump today called for the arrest and deportation of Filipino José Antonio Vargas, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who came out as an undocumented immigrant years ago.

Trump issued the call after conservative columnist Ann Coulter made the suggestion in an interview with Megyn Kelly of FOX News.

Trump, who just arrived in New York after a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border in Laredo, Texas, accepted Coulter’s challenge and asked the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, to implement U.S. immigration laws concerning immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally.

Vargas, who founded the group ‘Define American,’ recently released a documentary, ‘White People’ which aired on MTV.

Meanwhile, conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, a Filipino American, agreed with Coulter about Vargas’ arrest and deportation. “I am a U.S. citizen because I worked hard for it,” Malkin said. “I had to find a U.S. citizen to marry.”

During good times: Binay, left, and Aquino

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – In the United States, whenever the president delivers his State of the Union Address (SOTU), the opposing political party designates someone to deliver an official response. That has not been the case with the Philippines’ State of the Nation Address (SONA).

Until now.

The Office of the Vice President, Jejomar Binay, has announced that he will be delivering a TSONA — Totoong State of the Nation Address (True State of the Nation Address) after President Aquino delivers his SONA on July 27.

It is common knowledge that unlike in the U.S., the Philippines’ president and vice president don’t necessarily have to belong to the same political party, as is the case with Aquino and Binay. Voters vote for prez and VP separately.

Binay had a falling out with Aquino recently, prompting the vice president to resign from his cabinet position. Since then, Binay has been attacking the Aquino administration, its policies and failures.

Binay has declared that he was running for president in 2016. Aquino, meanwhile, is expected to announce soon who he is endorsing as his party’s nominee for president.

SONA or TSONA, it will be a classic case of he said, he said.

CNN ATTACKED BY HACKERS!

ATLANTA, Georgia (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Two weeks ago, CNN ran a banner headline announcing that ISIS was advancing “on two fonts.” The headline meant to read “fronts.” It was assumed that the error was a copyediting issue.

But apparently, it was a hacking issue, and it happened yet again.

CNN, while doing a live interview with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on the latest opinion polls, ran the headline (quoting Trump), ‘I don’t need posters.’ It meant to read “pollsters.”

Well, it now appears that the two embarrassing headlines were the result of hackers breaking into CNN computers and stealing letters. They stole the letter ‘R’ in the first incident and the letter ‘L’ in this latest hack.
