Senators Bam Aquino, Risa Hontiveros Propose Ground-Breaking Constitutional Amendment

DE275F86-68BC-43B6-AA36-1C9E3B06B3BFMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Opposition Senators Bam Aquino and Risa Hontiveros have filed an urgent Bill in the Senate calling for a Constitutional Amendment that would totally overhaul the country’s government structure.

The duo proposed that a fourth branch of government be added to the existing three.

Currently, the three branches are the Executive, Legislative and the Judiciary.  Aquino and Hontiveros want the Catholic Church to be the fourth.

”After all, the overwhelming majority of Filipinos are Catholic and that time and again, members of the Catholic heirarchy have always been actively involved in the political affairs of the country,” the Senators said. F87526A7-9398-4D43-AE60-4D318143ECD5.jpeg

”It will also generate more revenue for the government since all contributions to the collection basket and donations to the Catholic Church will revert to the national treasury,” they added.

In their proposed Bill, the Senators also proposed to abolish the principle of Separation of Church and State.

 

 

Sereno Sues FT Hilbay For Libel For Calling Her ‘Lazy B*tch’

B0CFE7A4-802F-4DF9-AD75-88756D06A242MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – If there is one characteristic that Maria Lourdes Sereno possesses, it is the fact that no one can mess with her, not even former Solicitor General FT Hilbay.

In a statement on the Supreme Court  decision to oust Sereno from the post of Chief Justice, Hilbay said that the non-filing of SALNs is laziness, not lack of integrity.

That didn’t sit well with Sereno who accused Hilbay of calling her a “lazy b*tch.’  So she is suing Hlbay for libel.

This will go down in Philippine history as the clash of an ex-Solicitor General and an ex-Supreme Court Justice.

Let the games begin…

3CE3EFBB-9CBE-41EB-8010-04615F8BE697.pngMANILA, 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.
