PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Americans woke up this morning to the great news that Bill Clinton just made history by being nominated as the Democratic Party’s candidate for president of the United States.
He is the first two-term president to be nominated for a third, possibly fourth term.
This is truly unprecedented.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – There were unfounded fears that President Rod Duterte would embarrass the Philippines during his inaugural address last June 30. But nothing like that ever happened, thanks to the new teleprompters purchased by the presidential palace specifically for use by the president.
Duterte, oftentimes described by the media as the “foul-mouthed” mayor of Davao City, made his country proud at his oath-taking. Not only did he read verbatim from his prepared speech using a teleprompter, there was something else going on.
For a brief moment, Duterte tried to go off-script, and many Filipinos feared he would start using expletives like he does during his media interviews.
But Martin Andanar, presidential spokesperson, wasn’t a bit worried. He told The Adobo Chronicles today that the teleprompter used by the president was a custom-made equipment that automatically bleeped out any expletives coming from Duterte.
Andanar assured the Filipino people that as long as Duterte uses these teleprompters for his speeches, no expletives will ever be heard from him.
Change has indeed come!
OTTAWA, Canada (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – People Magazine is known for its international list of top celebrities and professions — from the ‘Most Beautiful Women,’ to ‘Sexiest Doctor Alive’ to “Most Influential Men and Women on Earth.’
In its upcoming, special double-issue, the magazine has named the ‘Sexiest Male Models Alive.’ That’s right — models — not one or two, but three.
And the winners are: U.S. President Barack Obama, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.
In naming the trio, the magazine editors said, “Who could disagree that these men exude the look, the charisma and the bearing of fashion icons regardless of what they’re wearing — a suit, short shorts or the Filipino barong tagalog?”
The cover shows the heads of state strutting their stuff at a red carpet fashion show in downtown Ottawa where they are meeting for the North American Summit, also known as the Three Amigos Summit.
The special issue hits the newsstands on July 4th.
