MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Television host and presidential sister Kris Aquino is moving to the United States in 2016. This is no gossip, but something straight from the horse’s mouth.

Aquino, who lived in Boston during her late father Ninoy Aquino’s self-imposed exile, admitted those years were the happiest times of her life. She said she wanted her son Bimby to experience the American lifestyle like riding the bus to school. She added that her own experience in America made her a well-rounded individual and she wished the same for her kid.

Upon hearing the news, several U.S. employers immediately offered Aquino guaranteed jobs upon her arrival. These include:

Cashier at Jollibee in San Jose, California
Dishwasher at Max’s Restaurant in Las Vegas, Nevada
Assistant cake maker at Goldilock’s Bakeshop in Los Angeles
Baggage inspector at the Boston’s Logan International Airport
Mail sorter at a U.S. Post Office processing facility just outside of Washington, D.C.
File clerk at FOREX Balikbayan Box Forwarders in Chicago, Illinois.

The Adobo Chronicles reached out to Aquino at her residence in Quezon City last night and she told us that she would prefer to work with OWN, Oprah Winfrey’s cable television network. After all, she considers herself the Oprah Winfrey of the Philippines.

No word yet from Winfrey.

PRESIDENT AQUINO WANTS TO BE THE PHILIPPINES’ MARTIN LUTHER KING

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – May Panaginip Ako (‘I Have A Dream’)! With those words, Philippines’ President NoyNoy Aquino laid out in no uncertain terms what he believes will be his legacy after he leaves office in 2016. He wants to be honored and remembered as his country’s Martin Luther King.

His Dream? That because of his policies, reforms and peformance as president, the Philippines will eventually become a First World Country.

In a speech before elementary school children in Marikina, a suburb of Manila, Aquino trumpeted the country’s economic achievements under his watch and the decline in unemployment and hunger incidence among families.

Aquino also boasted of his administrations’ anti-corruption efforts and programs for education, health and poverty alleviation that contributed to the country’s progress.

“Napakasarap pong pangarapin nito lalo pa’t alam nating maaabot ito kung maipagpapatuloy lang natin ang pagsisikap, pag-aambagan at pagsisigurong maayos at matapat ang pamamahala sa ating bansa,” he added. (It is so sweet to dream about this, especially when we know we can reach this status if we continue to strive, unite, and ensure good and honest management of our country.)

Upon hearing the news of the president’s dream, millions of Filipinos belonging to the 25% who continue to live below the poverty level, took to the streets of Metro Manila and other cities and towns throughout the country, to celebrate their impending emancipation from their decades-long economic status.

Economists and policy makers also began to erect electronic billboard charts so that the country can watch in real time how the Philippines will rise to the top from its current world standing as 154th in Gross National Income (GNI), 119th in Gross National Product (GNP) and 81st in Poverty Level.

Giant screens will also be built next to the electronic billboards to broadcast live video cam feeds from the country’s jail cells showing the day-to-day life of government officials and others serving time for graft, corruption, plunder and other crimes.

Aquino also directed the Department of Tourism to launch a new campaign that will herald the rise of the Philippines from Third to First World. The president’s own image will be featured in the campaign, with the quote ‘I have A Dream’ translated into 100 languages.

It is More Fun in the Philippines. Indeed.

Canadian imports that arrived at the Port of Manila in 2013. — Canadian imports of ‘recycled’ materials that arrived at the Port of Manila in 2013.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – President NoyNoy Aquino returned to Manila Monday from a five-day trip to Canada and the United States with what he enthusiastically described as “good news.”

The good news consists of pledges for more Canadian investments in the Philippines and a package of initiatives boosting trade and labor relations with this North American country.

To demonstrate his highly successful negotiations during his Canadian state visit, Aquino said that in the next 60 to 90 days, several ships will arrive at the Port of Manila, with hundreds of containers bearing recycled trash.

“This will augment the containers from Canada that arrived in Manila in 2013,” Aquino said. The importation consisted of about fifty 40-foot container vans of non-recyclable plastics, used adult diapers, broken bottles and glasses, waste paper and household/kitchen waste.

“Diplomacy works. We are proud to have brokered a very healthy trade cooperation with Canada,” Aquino told reporters.
