MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – It was her answer to the final question that sealed her victory as the new Miss Philippines-Earth.  Asked what she thought of gay marriage, twenty-four-year-old Angelia Gabrena of Manila told the judges and audience that she didn’t mind having sex marriage.

While that response gained her notoriety in her country, it was a recent interview with CNN Philippines that brought her international acclaim.

Asked what she thought of the allegations that Senator Grace Poe, a potential 2016 Philippine presidential candidate, is a foundling whose citizenship and residency were put into question by her political opponents, Gabrena said, with much confidence:

“As a woman, I have very strong feelings about these allegations. It should definitely be investigated.  Senator Poe — or any woman for that matter — should never be subjected to fondling.  It’s a  crime!”

It looks like the Philippines will be well represented in the upcoming Miss Earth Beauty Pageant.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Philippines crowned yet another beauty queen last night when it named Angelia Gabrena Ong, 24, of Manila, the 2015 Miss Philippines-Earth. She will represent the country in the Miss Earth pageant later this year.

Rarely do beauty pageant judges get totally impressed by contestants’ answers to the final question but this time they absolutely did. The moment Ong began to speak into the microphone to answer her final question, the panel of judges knew it had a winner.

Ong’s question from celebrity judge Zsa Zsa Padilla was the most difficult one that evening: “Do you believe in same-sex marriage?”

Her answer:

“I think it really depends on the person if he or she believes in sex marriage but as for me, if the person feels that he or she needs to be married to show his or her love the I don’t mind having sex marriage.”

The Adobo Chronicles could not reach Ong to ask her if, by her answer, she meant ‘same-sex marriage,’ ‘sex before marriage,’ or ‘marriage for the sole purpose of sex.’

Watch the video clip of that defining moment in the pageant:

FILM: ‘ALOHA’ (HAWAII VERSION) OPENS TODAY IN HONOLULU

'Aloha,' the Hawaii version
‘Aloha,’ the Hawaii version

HONOLULU, Hawaii (The Adobo Chronicles) – Columbia Pictures is releasing a slightly different version of the new film ‘Aloha’ in Oahu and the rest of the neighbor islands.

It is practically the same film with a different title.  The local version of the Cameron Crowe film is titled “Haoles.” It stars Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Bill Murray, Rachel Adams and Alec Baldwin.

The film is about a celebrated military contractor who returns to the site of his greatest career triumphs and re-connects with a long-ago love while unexpectedly falling for the hard-charging Air Force watchdog assigned to him.

Columbia Pictures agreed to change the title of the film’s Hawaii version in response to criticism that except for a few unnamed extras, the film features an all-white, non-Asian or Pacific Islander cast — despite it being set in Hawaii.

Some Native Hawaiians also frowned on what they said was the commercialization of one of the most sacred and beautiful Hawaiian words.
