Where In The World Is Mike Pence?

IMG_6225.JPGINDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (The Adobo Chronicles, Chicago Bureau) – During last week’s vice presidential debate, Mike Pence repeatedly denied the many  controversial statements that his running mate D0nald Trump had said in the campaign trail.

“Nonsense,” “That’s not true,” the Indiana governor kept saying as his Democratic opponent recited a litany of Trumpisms directed against Mexicans, Muslims, women and the disabled.

Today, however, the Republican vice presidential candidate could no longer defend his boss after an explosive audio surfaced in which Trump talked about forcibly kissing and groping women.

Pence hurriedly left an event he attended, ignoring questions from his own press pool. He has not been seen since.

Rumors have it that he had checked into a private clinic to consult with his mental health provider to help him deal with this latest Trump fiasco.  Others have reported seeing him enter a convent in Indianapolis, presumably to immerse himself in prayer and meditation.  Still, many are speculating that he has convened his closest advisers at an undisclosed location to decide whether or not he should withdraw from being Trump’s VP running mate.

Stay tuned to The Adobo Chronicles as we follow Pence’s trail and hopefully get an official statement from the man himself.

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Donald Trump has been divorced twice.  Is a third one coming?

Speculation about a third divorce spread on social media after today’s explosive audio tape in which the Republican presidential candidate was heard talking about kissing and groping women.

Today, Trump’s wife Melania admitted to The Adobo Chronicles that she told her husband, “It’s over!”

Mrs. Trump, however, clarified that she was referring to Donald’s presidential bid, not to their marriage.

Thanks, Melania, for the clarification.

President Duterte’s Approval Rating Dips To Minus Five Percent Amid Miss Universe Rumors

img_6222MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Philippines’ Daily Inquirer is reporting that it is rumored the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant scheduled to be held in Manila this coming January is being cancelled. The report cited security concerns as well as Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s recent comments about the Jews as among the reasons for cancellation.

In recent weeks, the country’s Department of Tourism has denied the cancellation rumors.

Rumor or not, beauty contest-obsessed Filipinos are not happy. You can mess with anything else but not their beauty pageants. Miss Universe especially.

img_6223In a nationwide survey following the Inquirer report, Duterte’s approval rating nose-dived from 97% to minus 5%. Respondents overwhelmingly cited the cancellation rumors as their only reason for the negative rating they gave the president.

The Adobo Chronicles asked Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar about the Inquirer report and he said he has not spoken to Duterte about it.

Reigning Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines meanwhile said, “No comment.”
