POLL : WHO WOULD MAKE THE BEST CLOWN AMONG REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES?

imageLAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – In a crowded field of 37 declared, exploratory and potential Republican candidates for U.S. president, someone has to win the party nomination. And someone has to be declared the best clown . Or both.

Donald Trump has graciously offered his colleagues an opportunity for a paid gig at the Trump Towers in Las Vegas for the candidate that will attract the most audience for a clown show that will open sometime next year.

In anticipation of what is expected to be a very tight contest,  The Adobo Chronicles®  has narrowed the field to the top six Republican presidential candidates who have the best chance of being chosen for this gig.

We are asking our readers for their input by voting in this exciting poll. Please vote and share the poll with your friends, family and colleagues.

KRIS AQUINO: THUMBS DOWN FOR MARIA OZAWA, THUMBS UP FOR PIA WURTZBACH

imageMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – First, Philippine President NoyNoy Aquino was romantically linked to reigning Miss Philippines-Universe Pia Wurtzbach.  The two were seen having dinner at a restaurant in Metro Manila days before Wurtzbach won the pageant crown.

Now, Aquino’s love (less) life is again in the headlines.  This time it involves  29-year-old Japanese actress and former adult video star Maria Ozawa. Ozawa is in the Philippines filming a new movie with Filipino actor Robin Padilla.

Ozawa was quoted by the media as saying that she was open to dating the president.

That didn’t sit well with Aquino’s younger sister Kris.  The television host said she is 100% against her brother dating Ozawa. “We are a respectable family, and I will not allow a former adult video star to taint our good name,” Kris said. “I much prefer Wurtzbach to be my brother’s wife — she is beautiful, respectable and queenly, di ba?”

Days after Wurtzbach won the beauty crown, Kris interviewed her on television talk show. During that interview, Aquino told Wurtzbach  “I promise I will be a good sister-in-law.”

No love lost there between the beauty queen and the queen of all medial!

KRIS AQUINO NAMED AS CO-HOST OF MISS USA PAGEANT

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Things seem to be turning up roses for the  beleaguered Donald Trump and his Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants.

After his disparaging remarks about Mexicans during his announcement for a bid to become the Republican nominee for president, Trump lost both Univision and NBC Universal which were home networks for the live television coverage of the pageants.

Luckily, Trump found an ally in the little known Reelz cable network which agreed to air the Miss USA pageant live from Baton Rouge, Louisiana on July 12.

But then, five co-hosts of the Miss USA pageant all dropped out from their duties, including Thomas Roberts, Cheryl Burke, Roselyn Sanchez, Cristian de la Fuente and Jeannie Mai.

Luck comes twice in a row so to speak, when the Philippines’ self-proclaimed queen of all  media and presidential sister Kris Aquino agreed to co-host the Miss USA pageant this weekend. “It has always been my dream to be the host of the Miss Universe Pageant,” Aquino said, “and I hope hosting the Miss USA pageant is a stepping stone towards that dream.” CNN’s Don Lemon is rumored to be Aquino’s co-host for Miss USA.

What is left for Trump is to deal with the fallout from participating Miss Universe countries. Mexico, Panama and the Philippines have  dropped out of the Miss Universe pageant, and other Latin American countries are expected to follow suit.

But perhaps with the prestige that Aquino brings to the pageant, the boycotting countries might very well change their minds.

Stay tuned.
