This makes Escudero the world’s first pregnant heterosexual man.

Previously, Thomas Beatie held the disinction as the world’s first pregnant male. 

Beatie, a trans man, had gender reassignment surgery in March 2002 and became known as “The Pregnant Man” after he became pregnant through artificial insemination in 2007. Beatie chose to be pregnant because his wife Nancy was infertile, doing so with cryogenic donated sperm.

With Escudero’s pregnancy, the Philippines adds yet another listing in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Rappler, Vera Files Want To Fact-Check The Adobo Chronicles’ Films

602ED8B6-401B-415A-AD51-F94FB22C78BAMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – You give them a finger and they want your entire arm.  Such is the predicament now faced by Rappler and Vera Files, both recently named Facebook partners in fact-checking news and information on social media.

Rappler and Vera Files were quick to fact-check posts by The Adobo Chronicles, tagging them as either false or satire.

But now, the two fact-checkers also want to police films produced by The Adobo Chronicles and have asked Mark Zuckerberg to deputize them to do so.

But alas, Zuckerberg knows his limitations.  He said that films are not within the purview of Facebook and asked Maria Ressa and Ellen Tordesillas to seek approval from the Movie and Television Ratings and Classification Board (MTRCB)

Unfortunately, Rappler’s and Vera Files’ request was outrightly denied by MTRCB.

’Pati ba naman mga pelikula ay gusto pa ninyong pakialaman,” MTRCB said. (Now you also want to dip your dirty finger into films)

PNoy Imposes Gag Order On Kris Aquino

A7CBA6E8-EAA8-4E68-AC19-CC2E3A801884QUEZON CITY (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Blood is always thicker than water.  And the big brother is to be followed at all times, whether or not he used to be the President of the Philippines.

So today, NoyNoy Aquino imposed a gag order on his younger sister Kris Aquino, after the former TV talk show host went on a rampage, berating fellow TV host Korina Sanchez who happens to be the missus of former presidential candidate Mar Roxas, NoyNoy’s chosen one to succeed him.

Not only did Kris ‘accuse’ Sanchez of slapping her in the face for airing a feature video about her ex-husband James Yap; she also practically told the whole world that Rodrigo Duterte deserved to be elected president.

Kris’ rant on her Instagram Account was not only embarrassing to NoyNoy, Roxas and Korina but to all members and supporters of the Yellow Opposition.

So to prevent further spillage of Liberal Party and Opposition secrets, PNoy all but put masking tape over the mouth of Kris.

Informed sources told The Adobo Chronicles that PNoy was afraid Kris would divulge more damaging and incriminating information in connection with the 2016 elections which, among other things, could jeopardize the case of Vice President Leni Robredo in the ongoing recount of votes in the 2016 Vice Presidential elections.
