NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – The United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights wants Rodrigo Duterte to undergo a lie-detector test.

High Commissioner Zied Ra’ad Al Hussein (no relation to Saddam Hussein or Barack Hussein Obama), issued the call after the Philippine president admitted that he personally killed suspected criminals while he was mayor of Davao City.

“I don’t believe him for a second,” Hussein said, “because he has said so many things in the past which are unbelievable or simply not true. This could be another one of his ‘hyperboles’ ”

“But Duterte’s statement puts me in a binding situation because it is my duty to investigate human rights violations.  If I don’t do anything, I might be fired.”

The UN official said that a lie-detector test which he is certain would prove that Duterte lied in his admission will make his job as commissioner much easier and that he would not have to spend time investigating the Philipine leader.

“I have much more important things on my plate, like looking into war crimes and human rights violations in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries,” Hussein told The Adobo Chronicles.

BERLIN, Germany (The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – After announcing to the world that 16 Million Filipinos elected a self-confessed serial killer as president of the Philippines, Senator Leila De Lima walked out of an international conference in Berlin, Germany.

As she has done several times in the Philippine Senate, the lady senator walked out of the conference hall where the Annual Conference on Cultural Diplomacy was being held.

De Lima faces multiple allegations of involvement in the illegal drug trade before the Department of Justice and the Ombudsman, along with disbarment and obstruction of justice.

For her part, she has accused Duterte for being the top protector of drug lords and of plotting to declare Martial Law in her country.

When contacted by The Adobo Chronicles, De Lima confirmed that she did walk out of the conference hall immediately after her speech to go to the ladies room.

Filipinos Still Waiting For Steve Harvey To Announce Correct Winner Of Miss World 2016

IMG_7659.PNGMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau)- As news reached Filipinos that their representative to the Miss World Pageant which just concluded in Washington, D.C. made it to the Top 5 finalists, there was jubilation and hope.

Then disappointment.

Miss Philippines Catriona Gray failed to win the Miss World crown which would have been the second such title for the country.  It would have put the Philippines on the Guiness World Record for being the only country simultaneously holding the crowns for the three top international beauty pageants. Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach is the reigning Miss Universe, and Kylie Verzosa is the newly-crowned Miss International.

But hours after it was announced that Miss Puerto Rico won the 2016 Miss World crown, millions of Filipinos are still waiting for Stevie Harvey to come on live television to announce that there was a mistake in the results of the pageant.  They are hoping that Harvey would make the correction and say that Miss Philippines won the crown.

Oh, that Miss Universe moment all over again?
