MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Yesterday, we reported that broadcast journalist and former congressman and presidential press secretary Teddy Boy Locsin, Jr., was ordered deported by the Philippines’ Bureau of Immigration for being a ‘persona non grata’ after he said Tagalog (Pilipino) was a lousy language. His comments came right after the second presidential debate in which he criticized Senator Grace Poe and former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas for using the national language in responding to questions.

Well, it seems he is not going to be deported after all. Instead, he has voluntarily checked in at the National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila. He has admitted that something is definitely wrong with the way he has been thinking and acting in the last few days.

Just days after his comments on the use of Tagalog in the presidential debates, Locsin said that the sign language interpreter during the same debate was “just waiving his hand.” His comment angered the hearing-impaired and their advocates.

Just before he checked in at the mental hospital, Locsin said he has been hearing voices and that he was merely verbalizing those voices when he made his comments on the Tagalog and sign languages.

CEBU CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A Filipino broadcast journalist was ordered deported from his native country after being proclaimed “persona non grata” by the Philippines’ Bureau of Immigration (BOI).

The deportation order came just hours after the conclusion of the second Philippine presidential debate held in Cebu City last night.

Teddy Locsin, Jr. used social media to criticize the debate, particularly candidates Senator Grace Poe and former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas.

Locsin said that the exchange between the two candidates was “lousy” because they used “too much” Tagalog, even referring to the language as “inappropriate” for a debate.

Locsin said, “The sagutan between Poe and Mar is lousy because they used too much Tagalog, a language inappropriate to pointed debate, circular shi***.”

President Noynoy Aquino who always delivers his speeches in Tagalog, signed the deportation order.

English is the Philippines’ second language used by the country’s major newspapers and many news broadcasts including CNN Philippines.

Conservative Columnist Ann Coulter Leaving America For Good

March 10, 2016 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington, D.C.) – Conservative columnist Ann Coutler took to her Twitter account this week to say goodbye to America. For good.

The American pundit and book author is known for her stinging opinions and criticism of liberals, Democrats, Obama, Clinton and almost anyone who counters her right-wing views.

The last straw for Coulter came during this week’s Democratic presidential debate held in Florida where moderators and the audience asked candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders questions in Spanish.

In her tweet, Coulter categorically stated, “Adios, America!”

Now, if you understand Spanish, you know he meant goodbye. She’s leaving.

The Adobo Chronicles could not independently confirm as to which country she is moving to. We can only wish her the best of luck. Buh-bye!
