Pia Wurtzbach crowns her successor, Miss France

Well, the Miss Universe Pageant is over, but questions asked during the final night linger in the minds of netizens.  Especially the question asked of Miss Philippines, Maxine Medina.

So as a form of therapy for many Filipino Miss Universe fans who were disappointed that the Philippines did not score a back to back win, The Adobo Chronicles is launching a contest among its readers.

It’s simple.  All you have to do is answer the same question asked of Miss Philippines: “What is the most significant change you’ve seen in the world in the last 10 years?”

Answer the question in the comments section.

We will choose the best answer and award the winner with a P1,000 prize plus a signed copy of the book version of The Adobo Chronicles. Contest is open only to readers in the Philippines.  (Readers abroad won’t have much use for pesos, plus it will cost us a lot of money to mail a copy of the book overseas.)

What are you waiting for?

Bishop Bacani On P10 Million Offer To President Duterte: ‘I Was Misquoted’

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Bishop Emeritus Teodoro Bacani on Thursday challenged President Rodrigo Duterte to prove his accusations that he has 2 wives and offered a P10 million reward if Duterte can prove it. 

On Tuesday, Duterte lashed out at the Catholic Church, and said that the clergy has no moral ascendancy to lecture him because they also commit sinful acts. He
singled out Bacani, who has been vocal in criticizing the administration’s bloody war on illegal drugs.

However, in an exclusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles, the bishop said that he was misquoted by the local mainstream media.

He said that what he offered was P10 BILLION, not P10 million.

He added, “Anong palagay nila sa simbahan, poor?”
(What do they think of the church, poor?)

img_8772DONA REMEDIOS TRINIDAD, Bulacan, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Vice President Leni Robredo said she was not invited to watch the Miss Universe 2016 pageant which will be held Monday in Manila.

“Hindi e. Hindi ako imbitado,” was her quick answer when reporters asked if she will watch the coronation night at the Mall of Asia Arena.

Robredo said she can’t afford to buy a ticket which, for VIP admission, costs P 50,000.

“I spent a lot of money during our family vacation in the U.S. last month so I don’t have spare cash to be able to watch the pageant in person,” she said. “Also, President Duterte has ordered that no taxpayer funds will be used for the pageant so I can’t use funds from the OVP (Office of the Vice President) to buy a ticket.”

Meanwhile, it is rumored that Filipino American millionaire and Robredo supporter Loida Nicolas-Lewis is planning to purchase several VIP seats as a gift to the Robredo family.

All’s well that ends well!
