Trump To Obama: ‘Are You My Nanny?’

Leave a comment

IMG_6457.JPGWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Just hours after President Obama urged Donald Trump to stop whining like a baby, the Republican presidential candidate took to his Twitter account to ask the president: “Are you my nanny?”

Trump was reacting to Obama’s comments in which he said, “I have never seen in my lifetime or in modern political history, any presidential candidate trying to discredit the elections and the election process before votes have even taken place,” Mr. Obama said. “It’s unprecedented. It happens to be based on no facts.”

“He’s not my nanny. Who is he to say I should stop whining? I can do as I please,” Trump tweeted.

Moral of the story: a president should never argue with a baby. Unless, of course, he or she is the baby’s nanny.

Manila’s Chinatown

BEIJING, China (The Adobo Chronicles, Hong Kong Bureau) – Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte begins a three-day official visit to Beijing Tuesday, armed with a solid proposal to resolve once and for all the territorial dispute between his country and China over Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea, a.k.a. South China Sea.

Malacañang told The Adobo Chronicles that Duterte will propose to the Chinese government a deal in which China will give up its claim over Scarborough Shoal in exchange for the Philippines relinquishing ownership of the entire area on which Manila’s Chinatown now stands.

China is reportedly very interested in having full jurisdiction over the world’s oldest Chinatown.

The Chinese government plans to convert Manila’s Chinatown into a Hong Kong style enclave and make it a world-famous shopping and tourist destination.

The Philippines, on the other hand, will have full ownership of Scarborough Shoal, including all the benefits that will be derived from its oil-rich resources.

U.S. Secretary of State was reported to be scratching his head over this shocking news from Beijing.

Cynthia Patag’s Non-Apology Apology

Leave a comment

img_6443MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – By now, Filipino netizens are familiar with retired singer-comedienne Cynthia Patag’s  rant on her Facebook account whereby she spread lies about musician Noli Asencio’s recent death.

Patag reposted a private message she received from the wife of another retired singer, Jim Paredes.  That message claimed that Asencio was abducted and drugged and was a victim of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s war on drugs.

Well, the family of Asencio denied the claim and lamented the fact that Patag used the musician’s death for her own vile political agenda.

You see, Patag and the Paredeses are very anti-Duterte.

Naturally Patag received many angry comments from Filipino netizens.

Today, Patag issued a non-apology apology addressed to Asencio’s family, Iwi Laurel and Nicole Laurel Asencio.

At first, netizens thought Patag was sincerely apologizing.  But then she went on with yet another rant:

“Susme! Nicole accused me of using her deceased dad for my own vile political agenda. “You should be ashamed of yourself! Have some respect for yourself first!” You, too, Iwi, posted the same, but awa ng Dios, yours was more subdued: “Who appointed you as spokesperson for our family?” HA?😳 Ay, Laurel-Asencio – mga Pinoy elite pala sila.😊”

Here’s Patag’s full post.  You be the judge:
