It’s been over four months since that controversial Miss Universe pageant in which the wrong winner was announced by host Steve Harvey, but the rivalry between Miss Philippines (actual winner) and Miss Colombia (actual first runner-up) continues.

Now, Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, wants a date with America’s “Sexiest Doctor Alive.”

But wait, isn’t Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach already dating the doctor, Mikhail Varshavski?

Relax, Pia fans. You’re thinking of the wrong doctor.

Gutierrez wants to date Dr. Evan Antin, a veterinarian, chosen by People magazine as the “Sexiest Beast Charmer Alive.”

No Mention Of Forgiveness From Pope Francis In Leaked Vatican Letter To Duterte

April 3, 2016 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

DAVAO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – After coming under fire for cursing Pope Francis during a campaign speech in Manila last year, Philippine presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte said he had been forgiven by the Vatican through a letter he recently received from the Catholic Church hierarchy.

However, the Davao City mayor said he will only release a copy of the letter after the elections so that he will not be accused of using it for political and campaign purposes.

During a visit to the convent of the Sto. Niño Parish in Ubay, Bohol, with his running mate Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano, Duterte said he had asked for forgiveness from the Pope and he “received a positive response.’’

An alleged copy of the letter to Duterte ( see below) has been circulating on the Internet, presumably leaked by a source close to Duterte. The Adobo Chronicles could not confirm the authenticity of the letter, but based on its content, nowhere did The Vatican say the Pope has forgiven Duterte.

So is he or is he not forgiven ?

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – According to a recent report by U.S. News & World Report, the Philippines ranks third in the world among the best countries in which to start a business, beating China and the United States.

As a matter of fact, foreign investors experience the ease of starting one right upon arrival at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), Terminal 3, in which airport business is being conducted in the dark as seen in the photo above.

Hopefully no shady business is going on at NAIA.
