WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Xi Jinping recently abolished term limits for China’s presidency, paving the way for the possibility that he will be president for life.

President Donald Trump praised the Chinese leader’s decision and indicated that the U.S. can learn something from Jinping’s decision.

In the Philippines, while Rodrigo Duterte has repeatedly said that he is willing to step down even before his term ends, many Filipinos want him to stay beyond 2022.

Are we seeing an increasing trend of presidents for life?

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – She had previously called for Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to step down and pave the way for Vice President Leni Robredo to take over.

FilAm millionaire Loida Nicolas Lewis has been a staunch critic of Duterte whom she accused of pursuing a state policy of extra-judicial killings in connection with the government’s war on drugs.

Now, Lewis wants U.S. President Donald Trump to also step down after he announced that he wants all drug dealers executed. “Duterte and Trump are birds of the same feather,” she exclaimed.

We’ve heard of people who are ‘stateless.’ If she had her way, Lewis will be without a president – Filipino or American.

BAGUIO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Baguio Bureau) – Nearing two years since the 2016 Philippine elections, Bongbong Marcos was formally introduced as the Vice President of the Philippines.

The announcement was made during last weekend’s Panagbenga Festival in Baguio City.

The introduction was made by Bongbong’s sister, Ilocos Norte Governor Imee Marcos.

The Marcoses graced the Festival with their presence, but Baguio City Mayor Mauricio Domogan would rather call it a ‘disgrace.’ Politicking is strictly prohibited during the popular annual festival.
