Filipino American Millionnaire To Donate All Her Money To Build Drug Rehabilitation Centers In The Phlippines

IMG_6439.JPGSAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – She’s Filipina American, multi-millionaire, chair of the US Pinoys for Good Government, and a staunch supporter of the Yellow Liberal Party.  Her name is Loida Nicolas Lewis, chief campaigner for defeated presidential candidate Mar Roxas.

And she has it both ways.  Once, she said some very kind words about Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

Then, she signed a letter to the Miss Universe Organization to cancel the Miss Universe pageant scheduled to be held in the Philippines next January.  The letter cited an unfavorable atmosphere under the Duterte presidency.

But she is also a philanthropist.

So, because of her love of her homeland, she announced today that she was divesting herself of her millions — $600 Million as a matter of fact.

She wants to donate all her money to build drug rehabilitation centers in the Philippines, to complement Duterte’s war on drugs which saw more than half a million Filipino drug dealers and users voluntarily surrender. It’s her way of continuing the Aquino administration’s “Daang Matuwid.”

Wishful thinking.

MANILA. Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s War on drugs will not spare anyone, not even beauty pageant contestants.

Today the Philippines announced that the Miss Universe contestants from Venezuela and Brazil will not be allowed to participate in the international beauty pageant to be held here next January.

The announcement came as two female foreigners — one from Venezuela and the other from Brazil (not the pageant contestants) — were nabbed by authorities at Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) for trying to bring in illegal drugs.

Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Ronald ‘Bato’ De La Rosa warned other countries that their Miss Universe contest representatives will also be banned if any of their female citizens are caught trying to smuggle drugs into the country.

With the banning of Venezuela and Brazil, the Philippines’ representative, Maxine Medina  will have a much better chance to win the crown (back to back) now worn by Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.

Venezuela and Brazil are among the consistent winners and finalists in the 65-year-old pageant.
