PFIZER ANNOUNCES PHASE THREE CLINICAL TRIALS FOR INVESTIGATIVE NEW DRUG TO CURE HOMOSEXUALITY

_71186900_c0030729-x_and_y_chromosomes-splNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Pfizer, the same drug manufacturing company that distributes viagra, the erectile dysfunction pill for men, has announced that it is now recruiting participants for Phase 3 clinical trials on a new investigative drug that could reverse homosexuality.

The New York-based company told reporters that it has successfully completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 of its clinical trials of a yet unnamed biochemical that would alter the Y chromosome in homosexual men.

In humans, a single gene (SRY) present on the Y chromosome acts as a signal to set the developmental pathway towards maleness. Presence of this gene starts off the process of virilization.

In earlier clinical trials, the biochemical has shown to activate the SRY gene that would restore the balance in the Y chromosome of gay men.

Phase 2 clinical trials results showed that 99.9% of the gay men in the study who were given the biochemical developed the SRY gene, compared to 0% of those who were given the placebo.

Pfizer is confident of continued success in its Phase 3 clinical trials and hopes to begin the process of applying for FDA marketing approval shortly after the conclusion of the trials.

Enrollment in the Phase 3 trials is ongoing. Gay men interested in participating in the trials are encouraged to call Pfizer or visit their website for more details.

Upon hearing of the Pfizer announcement, all of the Republican presidential candidates except for  Ohio Governor John Kasich, congratulated the drug company for its overwhelming success in its Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials for this anti-gay drug.

So if viagra is the purple pill, will the new anti-gay drug be the rainbow pill?

CONTROVERSIAL TORRE DE MANILA’S FACADE NOW A GIANT CAMPAIGN BILLBOARD FOR MAR ROXAS

imageMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – While Filipinos await a decision from the Philippine Supreme Court on Torre de Manila, a new, giant billboard has been put up on the facade of the controversial condominium project.

The court case stems from a petition filed by the Knights of Rizal seeking to stop the construction of the high-rise building because it mars the sightline of the monument of the country’s national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. Among the respondents named in the petition were the National Historical Commision of the Philippines (NHCP), National Commission for Culture and the Arts and the National Museum.

Just yesterday, the  Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) said it will no longer represent NHCP in the case filed before the Supreme Court. (It wasn’t clear whether or not the OSG decision had something to do with the new billboard.)

The billboard was put up by Liberal Party presidential candidate Mar Roxas, President Aquino’s Interior and Local Government Secretary.

As expected , Roxas’s rival candidate, Vice President Jejomar Binay, has protested the campaign billboard and says he will file an electioneering complaint against Roxas before the Commission on Elections (Comelec).

Binay asserts that the official campaign period has not yet begun and that the vice president is put at a great disadvantage by the billboard because of its prime location. Binay also claims that the Roxas campaign billboard exceeds the maximum size allowed under Comelec rules.

EUROPEAN UNION (EU) COUNTRIES OPEN THEIR DOORS TO AMERICA’S UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS

BRUSSELS, Belgium (The Adobo Chronicles®) – As Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump laid out details of his immigration policy, the European Union (EU) adopted a resolution that, in effect, negates Trump’s ill intentions against the estimated 11 Million undocumented immigrants now living in the U.S.

Trump’s immigration policy includes building a wall along the southern border to be paid for by Mexico, eliminating birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants, and the resolve to deport all 11 Million immigrants.

Meeting in Brussels, Belgium, the EU countries unanimously approved an immigration policy that would open their doors to the deported undocumented U.S. immigrants.

The EU  is an economic and political union of 28 countries. It operates an internal (or single) market which allows free movement of goods, capital, services and people between member states.

The EU countries are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the UK.

Under the new EU policy, any deported undocumented U.S. immigrant will be allowed entry into any of the EU countries without the necessity of a visa.  The only documents required upon entry is a valid passport from the immigrant’s home country and proof of residency in the U.S., such as  a phone bill or a photocopy of an apartment rental agreement.

The immigrants will be automatically given a permanent residency status as well as government assistance in job training and job search. Free housing for one full year will be available to those who cannot afford to rent an apartment.

Education and health care are already either provided free or with government subsidy in most EU countries, so these will not be an additional burden to the immigrants.

In adopting the new policy, the EU council said that the member countries have great confidence in the skills that the immigrants will bring with them which, in return, could result in greater productivity and improved economy.

The EU says that the member countries especially encourage undocumented U.S. immigrants who speak a second language other than English, to apply for EU permanent residency.

“The EU countries pride themselves of being the ‘melting pot’ of language and culture, and immigrants from all over the world can only further contribute to this favorable image,” the council said in a statement.
