Sebastian (Duterte) vs. Paolo (Roxas), that is.
Will Brian Llamanzares (Grace Poe’s son) soon join the fray?

Crime-fighting Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte A Myth?
DAVAO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippine presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte is running on a campaign platform of peace and order, projecting himself as the crime-fighting mayor of Davao City. His supporters often highlight the low crime rate in Davao as proof of his abilities to tackle crime.
But a recent report released by the Philippine National Police shows Davao as the fourth among chartered cities with the highest crime rate from 2010 to 2015. Worse, Davao had the highest number of murders.
So now begs the question: Are the mayor’s supporters supporting a myth?
The other question in people’s minds: Did the Aquino administration have anything to do with the release of this report — just a little over a month before the May 9 elections — in order to boost the low ratings of its anointed candidate Mar Roxas? Just asking.
Move Over, McDonald’s, It’s Burger King Versus Jollibee
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The rivalry between America’s McDonald’s and the Philippines’ Jollibee has finally come to an end. The popular Filipino fastfood chain has taken on a new rival, challenging the next best thing to McDonalds — Burger King.
On March 31, Burger King is launching its newest menu item it is calling the “angriest burger,” featuring a red bun. Apparently an earlier black version of its hamburger ban didn’t quite click with its customers.
Not to be outdone, Jollibee has announced that on April 1, it will launch its answer to the angriest burger — the bloodiest siopao.
Siopao, or stuffed steamed bun, is the Asian version of the American hamburger bun.
The brewing competition between Burger King and Jollibee is based on which bun is redder. Or angrier. Or bloodier.
