BEIJING, China (The Adobo Chronicles, Hong Kong Bureau) – China’s Xi Jinping met with the President of the Philippines for the nth time today.

Problem is, the Chinese president’s confidants failed to inform him that the Philippines held a presidential election in 2022 and that his good friend Rodrigo Duterte is now just a private citizen.

Interestingly, Xi also thought that Duterte’s daughter Sara is now vice president.

“Congratulations. It’s great that your vice president is also you daughter,” Xi told Duterte. “Long live dynasty,” he said.

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – Students and faculty of Columbia University in New York staged a mass protest today against Maria Ressa’s impending professorship in 2024.

The protesters demanded that the university rescind its offer to the convicted Rappler CEO.

“Columbia is known for its high standards regarding its education,” the protesters said. “Having a convict teach at the university is appalling,” they added.

The Nobel Lauriat (sic) was convicted by a Philippine court for the crime of cyber libel. The conviction is now under appeal before the Supreme Court.

Miss Universe To Be Renamed “It Universe!”

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – The Miss Universe Organization has announced that it is renaming its international beauty pageant to “It Universe.”

The decision came after Netherlands crowned its first openly transgender woman queen to compete in this year’s Miss Universe. Rikkie Valerie Kolle, 22, made history after she won the competition on Sunday.

Kolle is the second openly transgender woman to compete in Miss Universe. In 2018, Angela Maria Ponce Camacho represented Spain in the pageant.

“We want to be all-inclusive and non-discriminatory and changing the pageant name is the right thing do it,” the organization told The Adobo Chronicles.

While there have only been two openly transgender women competing in the pageant, insiders said there could be other Miss U transgender women contestants in the past, adding: “they just weren’t public about .”
