LAREDO, Texas (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Every so often, politicians and celebrities are caught in uncompromising situations — in public restrooms.

It is no secret that Republican presidential candidate likes women. That’s why he owns several beauty pageants and has been married three times. But who knew he also likes using women’s public restrooms?

Trump arrived in Texas yesterday to tour the U.S.-Mexico border in Laredo. He tried to be incognito by wearing a white baseball cap to hide his all too familiar faded blond hair as he stepped off his private jet and proceeded to use the international airport’s restroom– the women’s restroom.

It all went without incident until he came out of the restroom to a swarm of television cameras, reporters and photographers.

Asked why he chose to use the women’s bathroom instead of the men’s, Trump simply shrugged his shoulders and said, “I needed to go pee so bad I didn’t realize I entered the women’s bathroom. It was only when I noticed it had stalls but no urinals that I knew I was in the wrong bathroom, but it was too late. I really couldn’t hold it any longer!”

Nothing ever embarrasses Trump, but this incident apparently did.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Vice President Jejomar Binay can’t handle the truth that he is being beaten by women in the race for Philippine President. So he has decided to withdraw his declared candididacy.

Recent national polls show that Senators Grace Poe and Miriam Defensor-Santiago are the two top choices for president among likely voters. (Santiago officially announced her candidacy this week after her doctors declared her ‘cancer-free.’ Her stage 4 lung cancer prompted her to go on leave from the Senate and to hold off on her presidential quest).

“As a man, husband and father, I will not allow women to beat me in the elections or any competition for that matter,” Binay said.

So what happens now to the Binay political dynasty?

It lives on. Binay’s son, Junjun, is mayor of Makati City (although he is currently under suspension for corruption charges) and his two daughters Nancy and Abigail are sitting members of the Senate and House of Representatives, respectively.

But to lock in the Binay dynasty, the Vice President announced that his wife Elenita will run for president in his stead, paving the way for an all-women, three-way race for president.

Elenita is no stranger to politics. She was once mayor of Makati.

Let the women games begin!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Senator Nancy Binay, daughter of Philippine Vice President Jejomar Binay, was the epicenter of jokes at last year’s presidential State of the National Address (SONA) for wearing a gown that made her look like an air balloon.

On Monday, July 27, at President NoyNoy Aquino’s final SONA, Binay is making sure that there will not be a repeat embarrassment from last year.

She proudly announced that she will walk this year’s red carpet wearing a gown designed by Colombian Alfredo Barraza, the same artist who designed MJ Lastimosa’s evening gown at the last Miss Universe pageant in Florida.  Lastimosa wore a multi-colored gown and headdress that made her look like a giant meringue wedding cake.

Binay, however, refused to divulge the theme and design of her gown, except to say that it will have the colors of the Philippine flag — red, white, blue and yellow. “I don’t want to spoil the surprise,” she said.
