MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Philippines prides itself for being the most democratic amd tolerant society in the world. It is the only country that allows prisoners to legislate from inside their jail cells.

Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada and Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. jointly filed a Senate resolution on Monday honoring and commending television host German “Kuya Germs” Moreno for his immense contribution to the Philippine entertainment industry. Moreno died from cardiac arrest last January 8 at age 82.

Senate Resolution 1717, recognizes Moreno as “a respected and well-loved person who touched many hearts and changed many lives with his work and his personal relations, and is considered as one of the pillars of the entertainment industry.”

The inmates, of course, are elected senators, both charged with plunder and graft.

It looks like the Philippines is on its way to another Guinness World Record as the only country where its senate votes on a legislation authored by jail inmates.

DUBLIN, Ireland (The Adobo Chronicles) – Conservative commentator Bill O’Reilly promised that if Democratic Bernie Sanders is elected president of the United States, he will move to Ireland. O’Reilly traces his roots to Ireland.

Upon learning of O’Reilly’s plan, the president of Ireland, Michael. D. Higgins, said that the American pundit is not welcome in Ireland. “If he thinks his conservative views are much better off in our country, he is absolutely wrong,” Higgins said.

Today’s Ireland is closer to being socialist than conservative, with policies on taxation, immigration, health care and gun control — the issues O’Reilly fears about socialist Sanders — flourishing and flourishing well.

And O’Reilly may not be aware that Higgins and Sanders are brothers, separated at birth but with very similar political and social leanings. They even look like identical twins.
