MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – While Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte may have drawn some parallel between himself and Adolf Hitler, Senator Leila De Lima, former Justice Secretary under the Aquino administration, has likened herself to Harry Potter, that fictional darling of awizard created by author J.K. Rowling.

The lady senator made this comparison in a recent speech.

She has been linked to illegal drug trade inside the New Bilibid Prison (National Penitentiary) during her tenure with the Justice Department. She has denied these allegations.

The Adobo Chronicles convened its top editors and writers to try to decipher what De Lima meant when she compared herself to Potter.

We couldn’t find any parallel except that De Lima and Potter both wore neck scarves. And stylish eyeglasses.

Hillary Will Appoint Trump U.S. Ambassador To The Philippines

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – It’s not all bad blood between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. When she assumes the U.S. presidency, Clinton says she will appoint Trump the U.S. ambassador to the Philippines.

The current U.S. ambassador, Philip Goldberg, is ending his three-year tour of duty in Manila this November.

“Trump would be the perfect choice to replace Goldberg. I am very confident he will get along very well with Philippine President Duterte” Clinton said.

(Duterte is often referred to as the Donald Trump of the Philippines and Trump has also been called the Duterte of America.)

Trump seems open to the idea, knowing that the Filipinos love beauty pageants.

“Perhaps during my tour of duty, I can take over the ownership of the Binibining Pilipinas Charities (Miss Philippines Charities) which has the local franchise for international beauty contests like Miss Universe and Miss International,” the Republican presidential candidate said.

“Then I can go back to barging into the dressing rooms of naked pageant contestants,” Trump added. “That would be so wonderful.”

If you have posted the following statement or disclosure on your Facebook page, this is for you.

Just in case: Deadline tomorrow !!! (and yesterday and the day before and the weeks and months before .)

Everything you’ve ever posted becomes public from tomorrow. (They’ve always been public since the inception of the Internet.)

Even messages that have been deleted or the photos not allowed. (Yes, these too have always been public.)

It costs nothing for a simple copy and paste, better safe than sorry. (You’ll be sorry for posting or reposting this because you’ve just increased the chances that your personal info got into the hands of people you don’t even know.)

Channel 13 News talked about the change in Facebook’s privacy policy (and so did every Tom, Dick and Harry.)

I do not give Facebook or any entities associated with Facebook permission to use my pictures, information, messages or posts, both past and future. (They always have with or without your knowledge or permission.)

With this statement, I give notice to Facebook it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute, or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents. (This statement absolutely does nothing.)

The content of this profile is private and confidential information. (Good luck, kiddo!)

The violation of privacy can be punished by law (UCC 1-308- 1 1 308-103 and the Rome Statute). (What, The Vatican is behind all this?)

NOTE: Facebook is now a public entity. (Duh!)

All members must post a note like this. If you prefer, you can copy and paste this version. If you do not publish a statement at least once it will be tactically allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in the profile status updates. DO NOT SHARE. Copy and paste (OK, did you read what we just said above????)

PEACE!
