MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Bishop Emeritus Teodoro Bacani on Thursday challenged President Rodrigo Duterte to prove his accusations that he has 2 wives and offered a P10 million reward if Duterte can prove it. 

On Tuesday, Duterte lashed out at the Catholic Church, and said that the clergy has no moral ascendancy to lecture him because they also commit sinful acts. He
singled out Bacani, who has been vocal in criticizing the administration’s bloody war on illegal drugs.

However, in an exclusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles, the bishop said that he was misquoted by the local mainstream media.

He said that what he offered was P10 BILLION, not P10 million.

He added, “Anong palagay nila sa simbahan, poor?”
(What do they think of the church, poor?)

President Trump, Citing 2010 Supreme Court Decision, Insists Crowd At His Inauguration Was The Largest In History

img_8682WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – No national issue is more important to President Donald Trump than the number of people who attended  his inauguration in Washington, D.C.

He is irked by news media suggestions that there were a lot of empty spaces at the National Mall during his oath-taking ceremony.  Trump’s spokespersons insist that the crowd that attended his inauguration was the largest in historty.

Trump used a 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision (Citizens United) to back up his argument about the inauguration crowd.

That court decision allowed unlimited corporate and union spending on political issues, resulting in the how popular notion that “corporations are people.”

“In the same light,” Trump declared, “empty spaces are people.”
