Leave a comment

imageTHE VATICAN, Italy (The Adobo Chronicles) – Soon after Pope Francis’ first-ever selfie was posted on The Vatican’s Instagram account, a team of Italian doctors comfirmed that the leader of the Roman Catholic Church indeed caught the selfitis bug.

The medical team immediately prescribed a high dosage of antibiotics to the Pontiff, and enrolled him in a Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) class in Rome.

Today, the doctors announced that the medication and therapy worked very well. Pope Francis is now selfitis-free.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) –  Almost one-third of Republican primary voters would support bombing the fictional kingdom of Agrabah, according to a report released by Public Policy Polling on Friday.

More than 530 Republican primary voters were polled this week on their support for Republican candidates and foreign policy issues including banning Muslims from entering the U.S., Japanese internment camps from the second world war and bombing Agrabah, the kingdom from Disney’s animated classic, Aladdin.

Of those who voted in favor of bombing the Aladdin Kingdom, 75 percent favored banning singers Lea Salonga and Brad Kane from the country (despite the fact that Kane is American) , who provided the voices behind “A Whole New World,” the theme song from Aladdin.

‘It is important not only to keep out Muslims from entering the U.S. but also to make sure that those who support them and promote their cause not be allowed in this country,’ one Republican poll respondent said.

MAR ROXAS, THE ‘NEW MAN’ IN PURPLE

Leave a comment

imageMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Realizing that President Aquino’s endorsements are not helping a bit in his presidential bid, former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas is now distancing himself from the Yellow Administration.

‘I am my own man, and I can win the 2016 presidential elections on my own merit,’ Roxas said.  Since launching his candidacy, Roxas has been riding on the coattails of Aquino, often parroting the administration’s Daang Matuwid (Straight Path) battlecry on anti-government corruption. He has been criticized for always wearing a yellow shirt.

‘From now on, I will rid myself of all vestiges of the Aquino administration, including emptying my closet of all my yellow wardrobe,’ he said.  I will henceforth be the ‘Man in Purple.’

Good for him.
