A65F3FB8-D69E-49E0-97E2-5F11685DC680 KALIBO, Aklan (The Adobo Chronicles, Iloilo Bureau) – It’s that time of year when Kalibo transforms into a mardi-gras world to celebrate the Ati-Atihan Festival, commemorating the feast of the Sto. Niño, or the child Jesus.

The Catholic Church — despite the festival’s commercialization for decades now — maintains that Ati-Atihan remains, and should remain, a religious festival.

And so, when a Mr. and Miss Bikini Open was held in conjunction with the festivities, Fr. Joesel Quan cried ‘foul.’ He bemoaned the attire of the contestants.

However, a young altar boy close to Fr. Quan, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Adobo Chronicles that the real reason the priest was concerned and disappointed was because the chosen bikini attires of the contestants were not ‘revealing enough.’

”Father was so looking forward to the event, and even volunteered to be a judge. But when all was said and done, he was not happy and instead publicly complained about the impropriety of the extra-curricular event.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Client records are always confidential, but plastic-surgeon-to-the-stars Dr. Vicki Belo promised to make public the names of all her clients who have undergone artificial physical transformation.

Belo made this announcement in protest against the new TRAIN (Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion) law which institutes changes in income tax.

The lady doctor said TRAIN will kill the country’s cosmetics and aesthetics industry, including medical tourism.

Belo said her extensive client list includes not just people in the entertainment sector but also politicians and their immediate family.

She says she is releasing her client list to show the expansive negative impact TRAIN would have not only on her business but on people’s basic human right to be more beautiful.

House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez Proposes Magna Carta For Ugly Spouses

27DDCF5F-1D02-4298-9DD5-61DFCB7D1BE1 MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Philippines has a Magna Carta for Women, but none for ugly spouses. But that could change very soon, thanks to House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez.

Alvarez, who according to reports, has ‘abandoned’ his wife and justified it on religious grounds, is not backing down on his priority legislation that would introduce civil unions in the Philippines.

Now, the Speaker says his proposed bill would also benefit “ugly and rich” people who remain married only because of their money.

“Ngayon kasi kapag absolute community of property…karamihan ngayon, kung hindi babae or lalaki, kahit na medyo pangit, kapag maraming pera pakakasalan mo,” he said during an interview with Karen Davila.

Alvarez said that an amendment to the Family Code would make complete separation of property the default, instead of the absolute community of property, in the absence of a marriage settlement.

So if you’re rich but ugly, you’ve got a friend in the Speaker of the House.

Isulong ang Magna Carta for ugly people!
