MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Saying he does not want to be a “party pooper,” Senator Antonio Trillanes has vowed to give Mayor Rodrigo Duterte “all the latitude” he needs to fulfill his promises, especially his promise to end crime and corruption within 3-6 months after becoming president.

At the same time, the senator who unsuccessfully ran for vice president in the May 9 elections, offered himself to be Duterte’s Secretary of Finance.

Trillanes said that he has the credentials to head the Finance Department and that he has shown his financial expertise and brilliant mind when he tried to expose Duterte’s alleged secret bank accounts.

“I will retract all my allegations about Duterte’s bank accounts if he makes me Finance Secretary,” Trillanes told The Adobo Chronicles.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) –  In campaign stops in Kentucky today, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said that in addition to being First Gentleman, her husband Bill will play a major role in her administration.

However, in an exclusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles, ruled out appointing her husband to the position of Secretary of State.

Theoretically, the 42nd president of the United States would be eligible to serve in his wife’s cabinet.  However, Hillary said that appointing him Secretary of State would be too close to the presidency and would be in violation of the Constitution’s 22nd Amendment prohibiting a U.S. president to serve a third term.

The Secretary of State is fourth in line to succeed the president of the United States, behind the Vice President, Speaker of the House and the Senate President.

When asked what position she would give her husband if she is elected president, Hillary said she is leaning towards Chief of Staff and head of White House interns.

Enough said.
