MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Sung Kim, the new American ambassador to the Philippines today formally presented his credentials to President Joseph Estrada.
The ceremony was held in Malacañang, the presidential palace.
President Estrada was ill-disposed at the time so he designated his executive secretary, Rodrigo Roa Duterte, to stand in for him.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Despite his displeasure with how he has been portrayed by Alec Baldwin, Donald Trump says he actually likes ‘Saturday Night Live’ and is a big fan.
As a matter of fact, the president-elect just announced that when he delivers his very first State of the Union Address (SOTU), it will not be before a joint session of Congress. Rather, it will be on a special prime-time edition of SNL.
It will not be business as usual under POTUS Trump.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – She did it in 2015, and she’s doing it again in 2016 — criticizing the vice president of the Philippines.
Cynthia Patag, retired entertainer-turned Aquino apologist, lambasted then President Jejomar Binay for not supporting President NoyNoy Aquino. Now she is taking a similar stand about Vice President Leni Robredo who just resigned her Cabinet post because of irreconcilable differences with President Rodrigo Duterte.
What a difference a year makes. At least, Patag is consistent!
