Miss International 2016: Why Miss Philippines Didn’t Win Best National Costume

TOKYO, Japan (The Adobo Chronicles, Tokyo Bureau) – She could have worn an Igorot native attire or a Filipino terno or a Maria Clara outfit, but she didn’t. Could it have cost her the Best National Costume award?

We’re talking about our dear Baguio City beauty, Kylie Verzosa, Miss Philippines and our new Miss International !

Instead she wore a Japanese kimono beneath that Miss Philippines sash for the national costume competition.

Unconfirmed reports say that her gold terno didn’t arrive on time on PAL (Plane Always Late.)

But in all seriousness, congratulations Kylie. You made us proud!

It was a great speech, by the way. And you looked stunning in that evening gown!

In Last Days Before Elections, Donald Trump Is Having A Grand Time Watching Beauty Pageants

Miss Grand International Finalists. Miss Indonesia, center, took the crown.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles, Las Vegas Bureau) – Practically conceding defeat in the November 8 US presidential elections, Republican candidate Donald Trump is spending the last days of the campaign having a grand time — watching international beauty pageants.

This time, he can’t barge into dressing rooms full of naked beauty contestants because he doesn’t own any of these beauty pageants.

Three of these pageants are happening back to back: Miss Grand International was crowned in Las Vegas yesterday; Miss International will be proclaimed in Tokyo today; and Miss Earth holds its coronation night in Manila in two days.

“I love women, and women love me, unbelievable,” Trump was heard saying has he sipped on a glass of chardonnay at his Penthouse Suite at the Las Vegas Trump Tower.

Meanwhile, presumptive president-elect Hillary Clinton is spending the last few days of the campaign in battleground states which are fast becoming blue.
