Trump: If I Become President, I Will Court Back Philippines President Duterte

FLETCHER, North Carolina (The Adobo Chronicles, Chicago Bureau) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump took notice today of Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s recent pronouncement that he “will separate” from American and align himself with China and Russia.

Duterte’s pronouncement was made during his state visit to China last week.

At a rally in Fletcher, Trump said that the Philippines has “broken with decades of pro-American foreign policy to instead leave for the orbit of China and Russia.” The GOP nominee attacked President Obama for spending too much time campaigning for Hillary Clinton instead of working. “Our economy isn’t growing at all,” he added.

Trump promised his audience and supporters that if elected in November, he will court back the Philippines and make it an equal partner of the U.S., with no strings attached.

“I like President Duterte, and I know he likes me,” Trump said. “We talk alike, we think alike and we both do love the Philippines.”

Trump forgot he recently named the Philippines as among the countries that harbor terrorists and should be banned from entering the United States.

Whatever works for you, Mr. Trump!

Duterte Invites For Beer Police Officer Who Ran Over Protesters Outside US Embassy

DAVAO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte said he would invite for beer the police officer who drove the van that plowed through a crowd of protesters last week outside the US Embassy in Manila, to ask him why he did it.

While maintaining he was not justifying the acts of PO3 Franklin Kho, Duterte said the officer—who was caught on video running over some protesters and bumping several others—may have been under stress at the time.

” I will try to talk to him peacefully, invite him for beer.” I will also talk to the activists,” Duterte said.

It seems that it is not only US President Barack Obama who is resorting to beer diplomacy to intermediate on issues of national concern.

When asked by The Adobo Chronicles what his beer preference was, Kho said, “San Mig Light siyempre.” (San Mig Light of course.)

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Beleaguered Senator Leila de Lima found herself getting friendly advice from female colleagues in the Senate as she continues to be hounded by controversies regarding her alleged links with drug lords inside the New Bilibid Prison.

According to the Inquirer, De Lima was recently overheard having girl talk with Senators Loren Legarda and Nancy Binay at the session floor.

Legarda gave De Lima some fashion tips. She noted that De Lima, who was clad in black, looked like she had just gone to a funeral.

Binay agreed. “Wear happy colors!” she told De Lima.

As an example of colorful wardrobe, Legarda and Binay showed their photos of past red carpet ceremonies (before President Duterte scrapped it) during the presidential state of the nation address.

“And drop that scarf,” both senators told De Lima.
