Donald Trump Appeals To Filipino Americans: Please Come Out!

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – On the eve of the first presidential debate, Republican candidate Donald Trump is appealing to Filipino Americans to come out in the open and manifest their support for his candidacy.

Trump gathered a few Asian Americans for a historic group photo yesterday to show that he has the support of the community. He, however, could not bring on Filipino Americans, except for Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes who has gone public as a Trump supporter. (Most of those who posed for the photo were Chinese Americans.)

“I know I have a lot of Filipino American supporters who will vote for me,” Trump said, “so I really need you all to come out in the open to show that I am the candidate who will fight for the cause of diversity.”

In one of his campaign speeches, Trump lumped the Philippines with other countries which he identified as harboring terrorists.

That statement didn’t sit well with Filipino American Republicans, but they are still committed to vote for him as the next president of the United Sates.

Philippine And Hawaiian Airlines To Offer Free Airline Tickets To Hawaiian Islands

HONOLULU, Hawaii (The Adobo Chronicles, Honolulu Bureau) – In the past several days, many netizens were duped by bogus websites in which Etihad Airways tickets were supposedly offered in return for participants completing a survey, adding a link to their Facebook account and sharing it with 15 friends. The airline based in the United Arab Emirates has confirmed that the websites were fraudulent.

But a new airline tickets offer has emerged and it seems to be more credible than the Etihad Airways hoax.

This offer is a joint venture of Philippine Airlines (PAL) and Hawaiian Airlines that awards netizens with free round-trip tickets from Manila to Honolulu on PAL and additional inter-island air tickets on Hawaiian Airlines to all of the islands in Hawaii, including Oahu, Kauai, Maui and the Big Island.

There are no surveys to complete, no links to add and no need to share with FB friends.

All that is required is for contest participants to fax a copy of their approved U.S. visa to either PAL in Manila or Hawaiian Airlines in Honolulu. In addition, participants must submit an audio tape in which they correctly pronounce the name of Hawaii’s state fish, Humuhumunukunukuapua`a.

And spell it right too in their visa application.

Gennifer Flowers, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach To Have Front Row Seats During Trump-Clinton Debate

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Gennifer Flowers, a former model who had an extramarital sexual encounter with Bill Clinton in the 1980s, has reportedly accepted an invitation from Donald Trump to sit in the front row during the first presidential debate scheduled Monday night at Hofstra University.

Political analysts believe that the invitation was Trump’s strategy to intimidate and distract his opponent Hillary Clinton.

Today, the Clinton campaign told The Adobo Chronicles that Mrs. Clinton had invited reigning Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach to also sit in the front row. The Philippines’ beauty queen has reportedly accepted.

Political insiders weren’t quite sure what the presence of Miss Universe would do to Trump, but Clinton supporters think it is a wise move to similarly distract Trump.

Trump used to own the Miss Universe Organization prior to launching his presidential bid. NBC Universal, a partner in the Miss Universe and Miss USA Beauty Pageants, decided to part ways with Trump after his statements against Mexicans. Trump eventually sold the organization.

The Clinton campaign said Trump will surely be distracted by the Philippine beauty who will be wearing her $300,000 crown, but also be intimidated by memories of the pageant he once owned.
