MANILA, Philipines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – It’s been called the “Great Photobomber.” The 46-storey condominium building in Manila’s Luneta Park has been embroiled in deep controversy because Filipinos say it provides an ugly and unpatriotic backdrop to the monument of their national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal.

Calls have been made to demolish the project and a corresponding lawsuit has been brought before the Philippines’ Supreme Court.

Today, a Manila legislator, Representative Amado Bagatsing, unveiled his common sense proposal to solve the controversy once and for all, and make everyone happy.

His proposal ? Instead of demolishing the condo building, he recommends that the Rizal monument be tilted about 45 degrees to its left  side. By doing so, Bagatsing said that the wide base of the monument will effectively block the unsightly view of Torre De Manila.

Why did it take so long for anyone to come up with this brilliant proposal?

GAY PRIDE AFTERMATH: NYPD COP FIRED FOR GOING BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY

31 Comments

imageNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles®) – Police officers, for the most part, are rewarded or promoted for going beyond the “call of duty.” But not this officer with the New York Police Department (NYPD).  He got fired.

The still unnamed officer went beyond  his call of duty on Sunday by dancing with a gay man during the Pride Festival.  The cop showed some serious moves to the delight of hundreds of spectators.

This morning, as the officer reported for duty, he received his pink slip from his supervisor. The letter stated: ” NYPD appreciates your going beyond the call of duty, but you can’t do it while you’re on duty — especially in your police uniform.”

Upon hearing the news, several New York gay bars reached out to the officer, offering him a job as security guard or bouncer.

The Adobo Chronicles® could not independently confirm the police officer’s sexual orientation.

DALLAS, Texas (The Adobo Chronicles®) – The Lone Star State is suing the U.S. Supreme Court over Friday’s ruling which legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states.

Governor Greg Abbott announced today that Texas will file a class-action law suit on Monday asking the Supreme Court to void the ruling of the Supreme Court.

“The Supreme Court has abandoned its role as an impartial judicial arbiter and has become an unelected nine-member legislature. Five Justices on the Supreme Court have imposed on the entire country their personal views on an issue that the Constitution and the Court’s previous decisions reserve to the people of the States,” Abbott said in an official statement.

“If the high court does not reverse its ruling, I will ask my Republican Colleagues in the Senate to initiate impeachment proceedings against all justices who joined in the majority decision granting LGBT Americans the same rights as heterosexul married couples.”

“No one messes with Texas,” Abbott said, “not even the Supremes.”
