In the age of “age is just a number,” it seems that even beauty pageants aren’t immune to the march of time. 

Forget about fresh-faced contestants, we now have a 70-year-old hopeful ready to break Guinness World Records for being the oldest in the game. 

Move over, Miss Universe Buenos Aires 2024, 60-year-old Alejandra Marisa Rodríguez, because here comes Mutya Ng Taguig contestant Rhonda Felizmeña ready to strut her stuff down the runway.

Who needs youthful radiance when you have a lifetime of experience to bring to the catwalk? With each step, she defies not only gravity but also the conventional norms of beauty pageants. 

Forget about crowning Miss Universe; it’s time to welcome the queen of age-defiance. After all, in a world where age is just a number, why not let the numbers do the walking . . . and talking!

Expect Filomeñas’ 2 children and 9 grandchildren, plus a vibrant crowd of Pasig senior citizens to cheer her on.

Fugitive Ex-Comelec Chair Running For President In 2028!

Leave a comment

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Fugitive ex-Comelec Chair Andy Bautista timed his public announcement of his run for the Philippine presidency in 2028 so perfectly.

He made his announcement on June 1st, the start of (LGBTQ) Pride Month in the U.S.

Bautista is running under a platform close to his heart: equality for all — regardless of gender, sexual orientation or fetishes.

(Bautista is said to be hiding in the U.S. to escape a warrant of arrest issued to him by the Philippine Senate for ignoring a subpoena in connection with a hearing on his alleged unexplained wealth.)

The leather and BDSM (bondage, discipline (or domination), sadism and masochism) communities in San Francisco are throwing their full support for Bautista whom they hope will become the first ever world leader to rule with a leather whip.
