It means taking pleasure on the misfortune of another. This was how Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte described the loss of Miss Philippines Mariel de Leon in the recently-concluded Miss International Beauty Pageant

De Leon has been vocal against the Duterte administration, including PCOO Asec Mocha Uson.

We caught up with Inday Sara at the Davao City airport and we asked her what she thought of Vice President Leni Robredo.

Her response: “SiyaDinFraud.” (She is also a fraud).

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – “Grab her by the p****.”

Well, that infamous quote was of course attributed to Donald Trump in a video tape of a conversation he had with television host Billy Bush.

Sexual harassment which seems to be a growing epidemic in the United States can come in different forms, physicial and verbal.

In Manila, the American President is being accused of sexual harassment — towards Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.

Philippine news media outlets are reporting that Trump told Duterte’s Executive Secretary: “I like Duterte very much.”

Too bad, Duterte is hopeless straight and is very happy with Honylet Avanceña.

Well, there’s always the thing called ‘bromance,’ the close but non-sexual relationship between two men.
