Screen grab from the Clinton campaign ad

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles®) – Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton just released her first official political ad and already, pundits are praising it as one of the most brilliant campaign ads America has ever seen.

In the ad, Clinton talks about her late mother Dorothy who brought her up in a loving family.

Dorothy was abandoned by her parents at age 8 and began to work for a family at age 14. It was then that she saw what it is like when parents love and provide for their children and families.

Clinton then looks straight into the camera, saying that it is because of her mom and all the other Dorothy’s in America, that she is running for president.

With this ad, she won the hearts and minds (and most likely the votes) of the 1, 166,352 Americans with the first name Dorothy.

Dorothy is the 30th most popular name in the U.S., according to the website howmanyofme.com

Maybe, Clinton’s next ad will talk about her husband Bill, and address all the William’s in America of which there are 3,943,457 (the 6th most popular first name in the U.S.

AS FIRST LADY, KORINA SANCHEZ WILL ASK TO BAR ANDERSON COOPER FROM ENTERING THE PHILIPPINES

August 1, 2015 Pol Pinoy 1 Comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Korina Sanchez, broadcast journalist and wife of Interior and Local Governments Secretary Mar Roxas, is one step closer to becoming the First Lady of the Philippines. This, after President NoyNoy Aquino officially endorsed her husband as his choice for the next president.

Many will recall that during the height of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) in 2013, Sanchez criticized CNN’s Anderson Cooper for his reporting on the government’s slow response to relief operations. Sanchez said Cooper didn’t know what he was talking about. Cooper then challenged Sanchez to leave her airconditioned radio studio in Manila and travel to Tacloban to personally see what was happening at ground zero.

Apparently, Sanchez has not recovered from the embarrassment Cooper had caused her.

Speaking to reporters after her husband was proclaimed the presidential standard bearer for Aquino’s Liberal Party, Sanchez said that her first official act as Philippine First Lady would be to ask her husband to issue an executive order banning Cooper from entering the Philippines — as a CNN anchor or as a private tourist.

Sanchez said the executive order would designate Cooper as a “persona non grata” which is one of the grounds for denying a Philippine entry visa to any foreigner.

CNN nor Cooper could not be reached for comment.

JIMMY KIMMEL CHOKES UP DURING HIS BROADCAST BUT NOT BECAUSE OF CECIL THE LION

July 29, 2015 Pol Pinoy 1 Comment

LOS ANGELES, California (The Adobo Chronicles®) – Late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel choked up during last night’s broadcast in which he talked about the killing in Zimbabwe of Cecil, the lion, by an American dentist. He said that when he first heard the news, he had hoped that the killer was not American.

A video of the show’s Cecil segment immediately went viral and advocates for the prevention of cruelty to lions used it to express their outrage over the incident which has gained international attention.

However, Kimmel’s publicist clarified that the television host choked up not because of Cecil, but because of the hundreds, if not thousands of human beings killed each day in America — especially unarmed black men –and in other countries where extra judicial killings are not uncommon.

“Kimmel is very much a man who is not easily affected emotionally by stories of animals being hunted and killed by poachers,” his publicist said. “It’ll take hundreds of lions killed at any one time before Kimmel would shed a tear,” he added.

The publicist appealed to netizens to stop re-posting the video because “it is hurting Kimmel’s reputation as a tough and unbiased journalist.”
