OAKLAND, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – “I want to be a champion for Oakland and all the other Oaklands in the country.” With these words, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton put this California city on the U.S. map, big time!

Clinton made this promise during a visit to a local restaurant at Jack London Square in Oakland, California.

Well, it turns out that what Clinton really meant was that she wants to be a champion of Oakland in California and twelve other cities in the U.S. also named Oakland:

Oakland, NJ
Oakland, PA
Oakland, FL
Oakland, TN
Oakland, MS
Oakland, KY
Oakland, MI
Oakland, IA
Oakland, MN
Oakland, IL
Oakland, NE
Oakland, AR

Good for her, but 13 Oaklands alone will not necessarily deliver victory for her in the November general elections, assuming she would be the Democratic nominee for president.

BATAC, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Upon learning that Philippine President-elect Rod Duterte plans to transfer the seat of government from Manila to Davao City, the Marcos family submitted a bid to purchase Malacañang, the presidential palace, for an undisclosed amount.

Lawyers of former First Lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos and Senator Bongbong Marcos told The Adobo Chronicles that the family would like to return to Malacañang, their official residence for twenty years.

The Marcoses had hoped to return to the palace through Bongbong who ran for the position of vice president in the recently-concluded elections and whose ultimate goal was to become president. Unfortunately, Bongbong lost the VP contest to Leni
Robredo.

“Rather than let the palace go to waste and be vacant, the Marcoses said the government may just as well convert the massive property into cash to benefit the national treasury,” the lawyers indicated.

The only stipulation in the purchase proposal is that all of the frozen Marcos assets be released by the Philippine government so that the family will have the funds to fully pay in cash.

New Study: Cell Phone Use Increases I.Q.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – For many years now, a debate has been raging on whether or not radiation caused by cell phone use can lead to cancer. Now a new study brings some good news to all who have adopted mobile technology.

Scientists from the Radiological Institute of the Philippines (R.I.P.) have discovered a previously unknown radioactive wave that seems to confirm that excessive cell phone use can increase one’s I.Q.

The study involved 1,000 participants — 50% of whom used mobile phones at least eight times a day while the remaining 50% used mobile phones less than three times per week.

The result? Those who used their cell phones daily and excessively had an I.Q. of 120-140 (very superior intelligence), compared with those who used the phones sparingly who had an I.Q. of 90-110 (normal to average).

The new study comes as very good news for Filipinos, considering that the Philippines is recognized as the texting capital of the world.

It is estimated that there are 106 Million cell phone owners in the Philippines, more than its current population of 100 Million. This means that about 6 Million Filipinos own two or more cell phones each.

Don’t mess with smart Filipinos!
