DINGDONG AND MARIAN: PHILIPPINES’ NEWLY-WED ACTORS ARE WORLD’S FIRST PREGNANT COUPLE!

imageMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Their wedding last December 30 was dubbed a “Royal Wedding” by Philippine standards. Television superstars Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera tied the knot in church ceremonies officiated by eight bishops and seven priests, with no less than President Aquino standing as Best Man. The bride looked queenly in a Two Million-peso gown, emerging from a fully-refurbished antique Mercedes Benz.

Then came the wedding reception at the Mall of Asia. The banquet hall reminded guests of an Olympic Games opening ceremony. The menu was a five-course meal, and the cake…. the cake was 12 feet tall, reportedly costing Seven Million Pesos.

Rumors have been circulating about Marian’s supposed pregnancy, but the couple has not given reporters or the gossip tabloids the benefit of a confirmation or denial.

Today, however, the couple’s home film production company, ABS-CBN’s Star Cinema, confirmed that BOTH Marian AND Dongdong are pregnant with their first baby  — at the very least, twins!

This makes the couple the first ever in the word to both carry their babies.  They are reportedly both nine months pregnant.

TOP 10 REASONS THERE WILL NEVER BE A WOMAN U.S. PRESIDENT

imageSAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Now that Hillary Clinton has officially declared she is running for president in 2016,  the political and media circles have begun the unending debate on whether or not America is ready for a woman President.

We at The Adobo Chronicles maintain that there will never ever be a woman president in the U.S., and here’s why:

  1. There is no official title for a woman president’s husband at The White House.
  2. The American military will never take orders from a woman Commander-in-Chief.
  3. The White House has never dealt with maternity leave for as long as we all can remember.
  4. Presidents are fitted with dark suits, not dark pantsuits.
  5. Air Force One does not have a stall, only a urinal, for the bathroom on board. Marine One does not have a bathroom at all.
  6.  Our founding fathers didn’t have mothers in mind when they established the Union.
  7. There cannot be two women in the White House kitchen. The current executive chef is already a woman, Filipina-American Cristeta Comerford.
  8. A woman president can take a 3 a.m. call in her pajamas, but will always be late for a 7 a.m. meeting or appointment.
  9. Politicians and the media will never criticize a woman president, lest they be accused of being sexist.
  10. We do not want a repeat of that international embarassment when George W. Bush was caught on camera giving German Chancellor Angela Merkel a back rub. We would not allow that to happen to our woman president!

IF HILLARY WERE PRESIDENT, WHAT WOULD BILL CLINTON BE?

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – If you were Queen Rania, your husband is called King. If you were Princess Kate, your husband is called Prince. If you were President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, your husband would be referred to as First Gentleman.

The U.S. has never had a woman president. If former First Lady Hillary Clinton, who just announced her 2016 presidential bid, becomes president, what would Bill Clinton be called?

The Adobo Chronicles reached out to the former president to ask him how he would like to be called when he returns to The White House with President Hillary.

Would he prefer just to be called former president? “That would take away the prestige and power of the Office of the President,” Bill said. “There cannot be two ‘presidents’ living in The White House at the same time ” he added.

So what would he rather be called?

His answer: “First Lad.”

We kind of like that too. There’s a special ring to it!
