NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – It’s not even half way through the year, but already, Time magazine has narrowed down its choices for the 2016 Person of the Year.

The two finalists are both politicans — one from the East, the other from the West.  One has just been elected president of the Philippines, the other is now the presumptive Republican presidential nominee who could become the next president of the United States.

Both men are similar in many ways, but are also very different.

Rodrigo Duterte is often referred to as the Donald Trump of the East.  But he’d rather that Donald Trump be called the Rodrigo Duterte of the West.

In order to help Time editors to make their final decision, they are asking the help of the readers and followers of The Adobo Chronicles.

Please participate in the poll below on who you think should Time magazine pick as the 2016 Person of the Year.
