MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – GMA News is reporting that Senator Chiz Escudero and his wife, actress Heart Evangelista are pregnant!
This makes Escudero the world’s first pregnant heterosexual man.
Previously, Thomas Beatie held the disinction as the world’s first pregnant male.
Beatie, a trans man, had gender reassignment surgery in March 2002 and became known as “The Pregnant Man” after he became pregnant through artificial insemination in 2007. Beatie chose to be pregnant because his wife Nancy was infertile, doing so with cryogenic donated sperm.
With Escudero’s pregnancy, the Philippines adds yet another listing in the Guinness Book of World Records.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Former President NoyNoy Aquino took to Twitter just hours after the Supreme Court voted, 8-6, to oust Maria Lourdes Sereno from her post as Chief Justice.
Aquino compared the SC ruiling to unripened manggo which he says is sour and leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
PNoy’s comment angered many Filipinos who are avid fans of raw or unripened manggo, known in the vernacular as manggang hilaw.
“The more sour the manggo is, the more delicious,” one raw manggo fan told The Adobo Chronicles. “Kaya nga sinasamahan ng bagoong. That makes the raw manggo even more delectable.”
Other raw manggo fans took to social media to lambast Aquino. “Leave our manggang hilaw alone,” they decried.
(NOT SATIRE)Claim: Former Solicitor General FT Hilbay and broadcast journalist Karen Davila both tweeted that the decision of the Supreme Court ousting Maria Lourdes Sereno could still be reversed in the Motion for Reconsideration (MR) if at least one justice reverses his or her vote. They both claimed a 7-7 vote in the MR could reinstate Sereno.
Fact: At issue in a Motion for Reconsideration is the 8-6 decision of the Supreme Court. So, a 7-7 vote in the MR does NOT reverse the original ruling of the Court. Rather, a 7-7 vote lets it stand.
