MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Last week, we reported that DC Comics is coming out with the sequel to Batman Vs Superman and is creating a new superhero, Pacman, inspired by the legendary Filipino boxer Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao.
Not to be outdone, rival Marvel Comics today announced that it, too, is creating its new superhero, inspired by the life of Philippine presidential candidate and former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas.
The first edition of this new superhero series will hit bookstores and newsstands starting May 1, 2016.
Marvel Comics, while declining to reveal the character name of its new superhero, says that it is based on the true story of Roxas and his heroic deeds as a powerful and dedicated public official whose mission in life is to uplift the living conditions of the poor, the unfortunate and victims of war and natural calamities.
The first edition follows the adventures of Roxas during the strongest typhoon ever to hit the Philippines — Yolanda (Haiyan), and how he became the people’s hero and saviour from the devastation caused by the supertyphoon. It is titled, “Sa Gitna Ng Unos” (In the midst of calamity).
The Adobo Chronicles also learned that Disney Pictures is in negotiations with Marvel Studios on filming the first of a series of Mar Roxas superhero adventures.
DAVAO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It is no secret that Philippine presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte has his way with women. The Davao City mayor has publicly acknowledged that he has two wives and two girl friends.
Wherever Duterte goes, he is mobbed by women who compete for his attention and kisses.
The latest Adobo Chronicles poll shows that Duterte now has the support of more than 80% of all likely women voters. However, it is not because of the mayor himself. Rather it is because of his son, Sebastian, known as Baste.
Baste, 28, has finally stepped into the campaign trail for his dad, and women are oogling over his good looks and macho aura. His latest campaign appearance was in Hong Kong (see photo above).
Women netizens are going crazy. If only they would see Baste more often if he takes up residence at Malacañang (the presidential palace), the women said they would go all the way to vote for Duterte.
In the meantime, frontrunner candidate Senator Grace Poe is seriously considering tapping her son, Brian Llamanzares, also known for his good looks, to try to win back the women vote.
