MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Filipino boxing champion and Senator Manny Pacquiao has denied online reports that he is donating $5 Million to support Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s ‘war on drugs.’

The supposed donation was reported by the fake news site, theguard1an.com, and was quickly picked up by other social media sites. (The guard1an is not the same as the British newspaper The Guardian.)

In an interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Pacquiao said he does not have that kind of money to donate to Duterte. “I’m broke at the moment,” he said, “and that’s why I have agreed to come out of retirement and fight WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas.”

“Maybe, if I win this upcoming fight, I may have an extra $5 Million to donate to Duterte’s drug war.”

The Pacquiao-Vargas fight is scheduled on November 5 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Canadian wrestler Jerico, left, and Canadian trash

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Filipino wrestling fans defended their turf with chants of “Dutere” after being taunted by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star Chris Jericho during the SM Mall of Asia Arena house show Saturday night.

The Canadian wrestler threw insults at the Philippines, saying, “I haven’t been to the Philippines for eight years and I hope I don’t have to come back for another eight years because the Philippines stinks.” “The Philippines stinks man, and Manila is the anus,” he added.

Amid cheers and boos, chants of “Duterte” rose up from the crowd, and the rest of the arena enthusiastically followed suit.

A Filipino wrestling fan in the crowd defended the Canadian, saying that indeed, “the Philippines stinks, thanks to the containers of Canadian trash that continue to sit at the Subic and Manila ports.

The trash was imported from Canada in 2013 by a local company thinking that the goods were recycled materials.

After Saturday’s wrestling event, Jericho was detained by the Philippines’ Bureau of Immigration (BOI).

BOI told The Adobo Chronicles that Jericho will be deported back to his home country in one of the containers of Canadian trash.

Well. that stinks!

Western States To Revert Back To Mexico Under President Trump

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Under a Trump administration, the United States government will look to cancel the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), but it will also prompt the Mexican government to review and possibly cancel 75 bilateral agreements between the two countries.

Mexican Senato Armando Rios Piter is already laying the groundwork in preparation for the election of Trump as the next U.S. president.

The first of these bilateral agreements that will be reviewed and possibly cancelled is the 1849 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo which ended the Mexican-American war and resulted in the U.S. acquiring the states of Texas and California, as well as large parts of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming.

At today’s session of the Mexican Senate, Rios Piter unveiled a revised map of the United States that reflects the re-acquisition by Mexico of the Western states included in the 1849 treaty.

The Trump campaign has not issued a statement regarding Rios Piter’s proposal except to say that it will have to revise its blueprint for the great wall to adjust to the new U.S.-Mexico border.
