No Burkinis At All Trump Hotels And Resorts, And Look What Else

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles, Las Vegas Bureau) – Taking his cue from recent news reports that France had started to implement a “no burkini” policy in its beaches, Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump told reporters today that a similar rule will be implemented immediately at all Trump hotels and resorts.

A Trump spokesperson told The Adobo Chronicles that the “no burkini” policy at swimming pools, saunas and jacuzzis is consistent with the candidate’s anti-Muslim rhetoric throughout his campaign.

But in order not be accused of racism or anti-religion, Trump has also decided to ban women of any color or creed from wearing towels on their heads in any public venues at his properties.

That’s right, women, no wrapping your hair with towels after a shower or dip in the pool.

Manny Pacquiao Withdraws From Fight Against Jessie Vargas, Is Enjoying His Stint As Philippine Senator

(The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It’s official. Manny Pacquiao has backed out of his upcoming boxing match with reigning WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas earlier scheduled for November 5 in Las Vegas.

The championship fight would have signaled Pacquiao’s return to the ring after he had announced his retirement to focus on his new career as an elected Philippine senator.

But since assuming his office as a legislator, Pacquiao has been enjoying the sessions, committee hearings, and his privilege speeches at the Senate. “I’m loving the limelight, and being behind the podium and the microphone,” he said.

As a former congressman, Pacquiao was criticized for being the top absentee member of the lower house. Filipinos doubted he could deliver on his promise to have a perfect attendance as senator.

So far, other than missing the orientation for neophyte senators, Pacquiao has had a 100% attendance so far.

Change has indeed come!

Reigning Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach from the Philippines

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – In an effort to shift the political and media focus away from his controversial Trump University, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump today announced his latest business venture: the International Beauty Queen Academy (IBQA).

Based in New York, the IBQA will offer undergraduate and graduate courses designed to train aspiring women (and transgender women) on what it takes to become an international beauty pageant title holder.

It is common knowledge that Trump used to own the Miss U.S.A. and Miss Universe Organizations and that he has impeccable credentials on mentoring and nurturing young women aspiring for a crown on their heads.

Trump said he has enlisted an international corps of former international beauty title holders to form the academy’s administrators and faculty.

IBQA has just released the strict criteria for admission to the academy, foremost of which are the ability to pay $20,000 in tuition fees per semester of the two-year undergraduate course, and $50,000 per semester of the one-year graduate course.

Interested applicants may send their headshots and the corresponding tuition fees to the Trump Tower in New York City. Prospective international students will be responsible for securing their own student visas to study in the U.S.
