89D4F026-D3C9-4D81-9B88-BAE98D64094EMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) –  Did he or didn’t he?  That is the question.

U.S. President Donald Trump has been reported to have allegedly called Philippine Senator Antonio Trillanes a ‘lil narco.’

The comment was reported by a couple of Philippine mainstream news sources including the Philippine Star. The unconfirmed report said that an unnamed reporter asked Trump to comment on Trillanes on board Air Force One, the presidential plane.

Trillanes has descrbied the report as ‘fake news.’

Well the moment of reckoning is about to happen in the Philippines!

Now that Trump has confirmed that his visit to Manila on November 12-13 will be extended for another day so he could attend the East Asia Summit, Trillanes is looking forward to his meeting with the American President.

Trillanes told The Adobo Chronicles that the meeting will take place via Facebook Live and that the President and the Senator will be exchanging messages on Twitter, 140 characters at a time.

It may only be online but it will happen on Philippine soil!
