96BE5F84-9032-4A31-A8B0-EADD8A314FAD LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles, Las Vegas Bureau) – Two years ago, host Steve Harvey announced the wrong winner in the Miss Universe Pageant, proclaiming Miss Philippines as first runner-up and Miss Colombia as the winner of the coveted crown.

Well, the rest is history. We all know that the actual winner was Pia Wurtzbach of the Philippines.

Tonight, after two long years, Harvey made it right, correctly announcing that Miss Colombia was first runner-up to Miss South Africa, the new Miss Universe.

History repeats itself, but we can always correct history!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Senator Risa Hontiveros is fast gaining the reputation as a fierce fighter for all human rights. ‘All’ meaning the rights of law-abiding citizens, criminals, terrorists, and yes, even communists.

Soon after Commission on Human Rights (CHR) Chair Chito Gascon said that his agency will be monitoring developments in connection with President Duterte’s announcement terminating peace talks with the Communist Party of the Philippines and New Peoples’ Army, Hontiveros went right to work.

The lady Senator filed a bill that creates the Communist Human Rights Commission (CHRC) that will work to ensure that the rights of Communists and other groups out to destabilize the government will be fully protected.

As proposed by Hontiveros, the CHRC will be independent of CHR. They will be co-equal Commissions with their own respective budgets, staff and resources.

‘I Won’t Be Back,” Kris Aquino Says On Boy Abunda’s TV Show As She Walks Out

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – TV host Boy Abunda calls Kris Aquino ‘Love,’ but there seems to be love lost between the two entertainment pals.

In an episode of Abunda’s show, the retired Aquino seemed at first to be ignoring all of Abunda’s questions. Then all hell breaks loose. The former presidential sister started screaming then walks out of the live set.

Aquino is heard off camera saying, ‘No, I am not coming ack!’

The Adobo Chronicles caught up with Aquino on her way out of the TV studio and we asked her if she really meant what she said.

”It’s true, no? I will never be back on TV, especially on Boy Abunda’s show. Very intrigero siya. But I will be back in the limelight, not on TV but as senator. Itsura lang ng Mocha Uson na yan,” she said.

(Uson is rumored to being groomed as a senatorial candidate for Duterte’s PDP-Laban Party in 2019.)
