DAVAO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Davao Bureau) – Citing delicadeza (honor and integrity), Paolo Duterte resigned today, Christmas Day, as Vice Mayor of Davao City.

He made the surprising announcement before the City Council.

His resignation sent shockwaves across Davao and the rest of the country and Filipinos had mixed feelings about it.  But not Senator Antonio Trillanes.  He is devastated.

In a statement released to The Adobo Chronicles, Trillanes said it deeply saddens him that he can no longer pursue his demand for the Vice Mayor to undress and show his tattoo.  Trillanes made this repeated demand during  a Senate hearing many weeks ago.

A lost opportunity, indeed.

First And Last Christmas At The Trump White House!

Consistent with the President’s crusade to reverse many of the Obama administration’s policies — from Obamacare to DACA to Transgender bathrooms — he has signed an Executive Order on the eve of Christmas 2017 that would all but end the festive holiday at The White House.

The E.O. stipulates that effective on Christmas 2018, The White House will no longer put up any Christmas decorations.

”I am the President of all Americans — Christians, Jews and Muslims alike — so in fairness to all, I am abolishing the Christmas tradition at the White House,” Trump told The Adobo Chronicles.

We also asked him if he would abolish the annual Presidential Turkey pardon during Thanksgiving.  His response: “I’m thinking about it!”

So, say it while you can: Merry Christmas!
