Donald Trump Lends Support To Philippine President Duterte For Kissing Incident In South Korea

1BB9B5EE-2154-4438-819D-941C3163AF29WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – It is the proverbial 3 a.m. call that only heads of state are expected to make to settle urgent world issues.  That’s exactly what happend at 3 a.m. this morning, Philippine Time (3 p.m. Washington time).

U.S. President Donald Trump called Rodrigo Duterte to offer his unequivocal support for the Philippine President after the latter was widely criticized for kissing a Filipina lady on the lips during a meeting with the Filipino community in South Korea.

”Don’t your critics have better things to do,” Trump reportedly told Duterte.  “I fully understand your predicament. It happened to me during my campaign when an audio tape was leaked to the news media where I had commented that I grab women “by the p*ssy,”  “I can definitely relate,” Trump added.

Trump said he was 100% behind Duterte, chastising the news media for not having any idea on what Presidents  go through every day. “They like to make a mountain out of a molehill.  Well, they can go to hell.”

 

 

Each Senator Will Occupy 3 Floors In The Proposed New Senate Building

25C49BF6-945C-4C5D-A4DF-9092FD936AFAMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Construction of a new, P10-Billion Philippine Senate Building is expected to begin next year, to be completed by 2021.

The new Senate headquarters, to be built on a two-hectare lot to be sold by the Bases Conversion Development Authority in Bonifacio Global City, will reportedly comprise of four state-of-the-art glass-walled buildings, each 18 stories high, with a park in the center.

So let’s do the math.

There are 24 Senators.

If each building has 18 floors, that means the total for the four is 72 floors.

72 divided by 25 equals 3.

3 floors for each Senator!

And who’s paying for all this?  YOU!

The video elicited comments from both Duterte critics and supporters, with the latter defending the President’s actions.

Today, The Adobo Chronicles spoke with Avancena by Skype and we asked her to comment on the controversial video. She said:

”He’s the President, so he can do as he pleases.  But I’m his wife, and I can do what I want at home.  So when he comes back from South Korea, Digong will be sleeping outside the kulambo for the next six months.”

(Outside the kulambo is a popular phrase used by Filipinos and usually refers to a husband banned from sleeping in the same bed as the wife as punishment for his misdemeanor.)
