img_7614MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Immigrating to the United States has just become easier for Filipinos. Likewise for U.S. citizens wanting to permanently move to the Philippines.

The government of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has approved a bilateral immigration policy with the U.S. in which Americans wishing to escape a Donald Trump presidency can apply for Philippine citizenship with no questions asked, while Filipinos not happy with the Duterte administration can immediately obtain a green card and move to the U.S.

The new bilateral agreement was met with excitement in the Philippines, and already, prominent Philippine citizens have indicated their desire to avail of the immigration exchange, among them, Senators Leila de Lima and Alfonso Trillanes, retired entertainers Cynthia Patag and Leah Navarro, and journalists Raissa Robles and Maria Ressa.

On the U.S. side, The Adobo Chronicles has received confirmations that American celebrities who have promised to leave the country if Donald Trump is elected president are definitely availing of the immigration exchange and will permanently move to the Philippines, among them, Barbara Streisand, Cher and Jennifer Lawrence.

IMG_7587.JPGWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – It was just a matter of time. Ruth Bader Ginsburg has stepped down from the U.S. Supreme Court, leaving two vacancies that incoming President Donald Trump will be filling.

In July, Ginsburg told the New York Times that if Trump is elected president, she would abandon the U.S. for New Zealand.

She is a woman of her word.

Now, it remains to be seen whether the celebrities who promised to move out of the country if Trump is elected — among them Jennifer Lawrence, Barbara Streisand, Jon Stewart, Samuel Jackson, Cher , and many more — will fulfill their promise.

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – Many have wondered why Kanye West was seen at the Trump Tower in New York, striking a pose with the president-elect and daughter Ivanka.

Well, wonder no more.

Reliable sources told The Adobo Chronicles that Donald Trump is set to appoint West to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The controversial rap singer will be one of five commissioners.

FCC is an independent agency of the United States government, created by Congressional statute  to regulate interstate communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories. The FCC works towards six goals in the areas of broadband, competition, the spectrum, the media, public safety and homeland security, and modernizing itself.

When asked what qualifies West to be an FCC commissioner, Trump said, “He is familiar with media and we’ve been friends for a long time. Ivanka is also good friends with West’s wife, Kim Kardashian. The couple will bring a much-needed celebrity status to my administration, not to mention diversity.”
