Leave a comment

imageMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A growing number of Republican leaders have disavowed Donald Trump following the surfacing of an audio tape in which he bragged about kissing and groping women.  Former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice is among the latest GOP stalwarts to call for the Republican presidential candidate to drop out of the race.

Today, even the foul-mouthed, cussing and controversial Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte said Trump should quit the race.

Duterte has often been called by the media the “Donald Trump of the Philippines,” while others have referred to Trump as the “Duterte of the United States.”

In recent weeks, Duterte has gained the ire of America because of his rhetoric against President Obama.

Now it seems Americans are starting to love Duterte for calling out Trump!

But wait a minute. The Indiana governor called for a press conference scheduled for 6 p.m. tonite at the state capitol to finally break his silence about Trump’s devastating comments.

Sources close to Pence told The Adobo Chronicles that he will  deny the allegations that came with the audio tape.  “What he meant was cat, pussy cat,” the governor is expected to say.

Case closed.

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Minutes after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump posted a taped “apology” for what he said about women in 2005, he immediately called Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte for advice.

Trump’s apology stemmed from an explosive audio tape released yesterday in which he said he bragged to TV host Billy Bush that he would forcibly kiss and grope women.

His 15-minute phone conversation with the controversial Philippine president focused on how he could come out of this latest controversy and still gain the trust and approval of the American voters.

Duterte has become world-famous because of his colorful language, joking about rape and catcalling women reporters. The former Davao City mayor had also used cuss words which were supposedly directed at the pope, President Obama, the United Nations and the European Union (EU).

“How do you do it,” Trump reportedly asked Duterte, “and still have a 91% approval rating by the Filipino people?”

Reliable sources told The Adobo Chronicles that Duterte advised Trump that “words alone don’t matter, actions do.”

Despite his colorful language and controversial statements, Duterte has been credited for significant positive changes in the Philippines since he assumed the presidency 100 days ago today.
