MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Not only is it international beauty pageant season, but it’s also that time for the handing out of international awards in government and politics.
Only yesterday, incarcerated Senator Leila de Lima was awarded the highest human rights award from Liberal International.
Today, Nacionalista International named Senator Antonio Trillanes as the recipient of its own, highest human rights award for his unwavering efforts to convince the International Criminal Court to charge President Rodrigo Duterte for ‘crimes against humanity.’
Trillanes was in the United States recently where he met with Florida Senator Marco Rubio and participated in small talk criticizing the Duterte administration.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Three opposition senators — Antonio Trillanes, Risa Hontiveros and Bam Aquino — are calling for a Senate Hearing to investigate the citizenship of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.
The trio issued the call after it was reported that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe referred to Duterte as ‘family.’ Abe’s statement was made during Duterte’s second state visit to Japan this week.
”One of the qualifications of a Philippine President is to be a natural-born citizen,” Hontiveros told The Adobo Chronicles, “so if Duterte is a relative of Abe, it is possible that our President was born in Japan.”
Vice President Leni Robredo welcomed the proposed Senate investigation, saying that it could fast-track her desire to become President.
