SARANGANI, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) –  No rags to riches story could be more inspiring than that of Filipino champion boxer Manny Pacquiao.

Growing up very poor in his home province of Sarangani where at a very young age he had to fend for himself and his family, Pacquiao rose to become one of the highest-paid athletes of all time. His latest fight against Floyd Mayweather brought to his purse an unprecedented amount in excess of $150 Million.

He has extensive properties in the Philippines and recently purchased a mansion in Beverly Hills, California.  But all those properties and cash are all gone, thanks to Philippines’ chief tax collector Kim Henares.

The Bureau of Internal Revenue Commissioner has been on Pacquiao’s case for many years and has finally caught up with the boxer. Pacquiao’s properties and cash assets have been sequestered to fulfill his tax obligations to the Philippine government.

Pacquiao has not been seen in public since after his  shoulder surgery.

The Adobo Chronicles®  finally caught up with Pacquiao in Sarangani. Apparently, he is now living in a small studio unit converted from a relative’s garage.

While Pacquiao refused to talk to our reporter, he agreed to have his photograph taken in his tiny apartment enjoying his favorite Filipino food, chicken adobo.

SPOKANE, Washington (The Adobo Chronicles) -The alleged white woman who has  been posing as an African American today revealed that she was also part Native American and part Hawaiian.

For nearly a decade, Rachel Dolezal, who heads the NAACP chapter in Spokane, Washington, has claimed to be African American. However, her parents, who appeared on HuffPostLive Friday, have revealed that she is white.

While some argue that Ms. Dolezal was merely sympathetic to the cause, Rachel was committed to blackface and playing the role on a daily basis by bronzing her skin and wearing black hairstyles. Rachel’s IG handle is, Afrocentricfemme.”

But there’s more. Rachel also claims to be Native American, although she has not stated from what Tribal Nation she hails.  She says she was born in a Montana tipi in 1977 and that her family hunted for food  with bows and arrows.

She also claims that she is part Hawaiian, telling reporters that her daily diet consists of poi (a Hawaiian staple) and lau lau (a pork and seafood dish wrapped in taro leaves). Her favorite dessert is haupia, a coconut-based pudding popular in the Hawaiian islands.

The Adobo Chronicles  tried to look at records to see if she had attended the Kamehameha School which is exclusive to Native Hawaiians or part Native Hawaiians.  We have not found any record to support Rachel’s claim.
