99984277-4EB5-42E3-9051-8CA84129DCAFWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It is no secret that North Korean Leader Kim Jung-on is a big fan of American Basketball player Dennis Rodman, whom he has personally met in the past. Neither is the fact that Kim hates U.S. President Donald Trump and vice versa.

So, in the planned summit meeting between the American and North Korean leaders, Rodman has been tapped to mediate.

The Adobo Chronicles learned that during the meeting, Kim will be talking directly to Rodman through a Chinese interpreter while the basketball star will relay Kim’s message to Trump.

There will be no handshakes between Trump and Kim, only between Rodman and the North Korean leader.

Everything will be against protocol, but the Trump-Kim meeting is no ordinary summit, so the U.S. and North Korea both agreed to the unconventional.

(The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Just days after a group of Philippine (Makabayan) legislators  filed a bill to grant Philippine citizenship to 71-year-old Australian missionary Sr. Patricia Fox, President Donald Trump offered the nun U.S. citizenship.

Fox was ordered deported following charges that she violated the terms of her temporary stay in the Philippines.  She was accused of participating in political activities which is prohibited under the Constitution.

The Adobo Chronicles spoke with Trump and asked him his rationale for the U.S. citizenship offer to Fox.

The President said that this was consistent with his earlier pronouncement that he would welcome immigrants  from white countries.

Many will recall that Trump had questioned why the US would accept more immigrants from Haiti and “shithole countries” in Africa rather than places like Norway, as he rejected a bipartisan immigration deal.

We could not get hold of Sr. Fox to ask her if she would accept Trump’s offer.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Four years after it officially declared the taking of selfies a mental disorder, the American Psychiatric Asssociation (APA) now admits it used the wrong terminology to describe the disease.

It named the disorder, ‘selfitis.’

Since then, the world has acknowledged and experienced the existence of sefitis. Scientific studies, including a recent one conducted by the U.K.’s Nottingham Trent University, have confirmed the existence of this mental disorder.

Today, APA issued a statement that it erred in naming the disorder ‘selfitis.’

” ’itis’ refers to an inflammation,” APA said, ‘ and since the taking of selfies and posting them on the Internet is really more of an addiction than an infllamation, the more correct term for it should be ‘selfism.’

As in alcoholism, the addiction to alcohol.

Still other medical experts say selfitis was also accurage because it involves the ‘inflammation’ of the ego.
