TIME Pulls Name Of Shibby In List Of Most Influential Teens
NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – While the rest of the Filipinos wodered why 14-year-old Shibby de Guzman was selected by TIME among its 2017 Most Influental Teens, the nuns and students at St. Scholastica’s College in Manila were celebrating for the great honor brought to the school by one of its own.
But alas, the celebration was shortived.
Today, TIME magazine pulled the name of de Guzman from its list, saying that there has been a total mix-up.
The editors voted on Xander Ford to be on the prestigious list, but apparently one of their interns inadvertently substituted Ford photo with that of Shibby.
The editors said that Ford was chosen “not because of his facial reconstruction but because he was the epitome of strength and courage amid adversity and bullying.”
Was this another Miss Universe-Steve Harvey moment?
Senator Trillanes Receives Highest Human Rights Award From Nacionalista International
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Not only is it international beauty pageant season, but it’s also that time for the handing out of international awards in government and politics.
Only yesterday, incarcerated Senator Leila de Lima was awarded the highest human rights award from Liberal International.
Today, Nacionalista International named Senator Antonio Trillanes as the recipient of its own, highest human rights award for his unwavering efforts to convince the International Criminal Court to charge President Rodrigo Duterte for ‘crimes against humanity.’
Trillanes was in the United States recently where he met with Florida Senator Marco Rubio and participated in small talk criticizing the Duterte administration.
Is there a PDP-Laban International?
