LEVITTOWN, Pennsylvania (The Adobo Chronicles) – Earlier this week, The Adobo Chronicles reported that it was raining spiders in Goulburn, Australia. It seems the Aussies had it much better than residents of Pennsylvania, U.S.A.

A Levittown family says their daughter’s Sweet 16 birthday party was ruined when a passing airplane dropped human waste on the celebration Sunday evening.

Joe Cambray, the birthday girl’s stepfather, said he was playing some horseshoes in the backyard when out of nowhere, something nasty rained down on the gathering, according to Fox 29 Philadelphia. Thankfully, a canopy erected for the party shielded most of the guests.

“Out of nowhere from the sky comes a bunch of feces, lands hard on the canopy,” Cambray told the station.

“We’d just gotten done with the cake, thank God,” Cambray’s sister, Kristie Rogy, said. “Because within two minutes something fell from the sky. It was brown. It was everywhere. It got on everything… It was gross!”

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is now investigating the incident and is ready to file charges against the aircraft responsible for being a party pooper.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Philippines is making history with the launch of the first Miss Gay Manila in the nation’s capital.

Having a gay beauty pageant is far from being a first. What makes Miss Gay Manila 2015 one for the record is that the pageant is sponsored by no less than the government. Now that would make Miss Universe Pageant owner Donald Trump nervous and threatened.

At today’s press presentation of the candidates, Manila Mayor (and former Philippines president) Joseph Estrada was on hand to give a kiss to each aspiring beauty queen.

The grand coronation will be held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) on May 20, 2015.

“The most energetic, witty, optimistic and confident candidate can get a chance to be crowned as the first ever winner of this prestigious pageant that promotes equality among all genders,” Estrada told reporters.

Estrada received a thunderous applause when he announced that the winner of this pageant will represent the City of Manila in the next Miss Philippines contest to choose the country’s representative to the 2016 Miss Universe Pageant.

Prizes at stake are P500,000 cash for the Grand Winner of Miss Gay Manila 2015, P200,000 for the First Runner-up and P100,000 for the Second Runner-up. The prize winnings will be exempted from local government taxes. However, they will be subject to national government tax by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), according to BIR Commissioner Kim Henares.

(VIDEO) SAN FRANCISCO MAYOR, CITY OFFICIALS EVICTED!

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – In other U.S. cities, protesters block streets and freeways, set vehicles on fire, break storefront windows and loot businesses. In San Francisco, they just take over City Hall.

That’s what happened yesterday as hundreds of protesters rallied at City Hall for a temporary halt to evictions in a popular San Francisco neighborhood where workers in the booming technology sector are accused of pushing out long-time tenants.

The protesters, chanting and screaming in English and Spanish, want a one-year halt on tenant evictions in the diverse Mission District and a two-year moratorium on construction of expensive high and medium-rise condos and other market-rate developments.

They then entered the building and evicted Mayor Ed Lee and all of the members of the city and country board of supervisors.

When City Hall officials called the police department to stop the evictions and restore peace and order, they were informed that 90 percent of the police force, most of them residents of the Mission District, went on leave. They were among the protesters.

Once again, the City by the Bay showed the country — and the world — how things ought to be done. Or undone.
