Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau)- Detained Philippine Senator Leila de Lima has retracted a congratulatory message she sent to U.S. President-elect Joe Biden. Her letter called Biden “a beacon for our own democracy” while comparing Donald Trump to Rodrigo Duterte.

Sources close to the Senator have confirmed that she is writing a letter to President Trump instead.

The Adobo Chronicles obtained a leaked copy of de Lima’s new letter which reads, in part:

“I am extremely shocked and saddened that the recent Presidential election was stolen from you, but I am confident that you will remain a powerful force in American and world politics, just like Rodrigo Duterte will remain a powerful force in Philippine and Asian region politics, unfortunately.”

She ends her letter with:

“Please keep me in mind as you continue with your Presidential pardons in the remaining weeks of your lame duck Presidency.”

Introducing: miss universe 2018 catriona garay

Leave a comment

CARTAGENA, Colombia (The Adobo Chronicles, Miami Bureau) – A journalism graduate was crowned Miss Universe Colombia 2020 last Monday night. Laura Olascuaga, 25, of Bolivar, will be Colombia’s delegate to the Miss Universe 2020 pageant which will be held next year.

But the more exciting news was that the Philippines’ Catriona Gray, Miss Universe 2018 who was one of the judges, was finally given her due as a “dual citizen.”

In her introduction, she was referred to as Australian-born who represented the Philippines in the 2018 pageant. Truth be told. She was born in Cairns, Australia.

But her surname was also misspelled as “Garay” instead of “Gray.” But all’s well that ends well. “Garay” sounds perfectly more Filipino than “Gray.

The Miss Colombia organization has since apologized.

As the queen that she is, Garay, we mean Gray, took everything in stride.
