Divorce Rates Up In U.S., Thanks To Supreme Court Decision

Leave a comment

IMG_2457.JPGWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Divorce rates in the United States almost tripled in just the last 24 hours, thanks to a decision by the Supreme Court to allow parts of Donald Trump’s Muslim travel ban to go into effect.

The ruling by the Supremes all but upholds the administration’s temporary ban on issuing travel visas to citizens from several Muslim countries.

The court’s opinion explained the kinds of relationships people from the six countries must demonstrate to obtain a US visa.

“For individuals, a close familial relationship is required,” the court said. For people who want to come to the United States to work or study, “the relationship must be formal, documented and formed in the ordinary course, not for the purpose of evading” the travel ban.

Apparently, many Americans who are opposed to the Muslim travel ban are resorting to divorcing their spouses in the hope that they can marry citizens from the banned countries.  This would satisfy the court’s condition of “close familial relationship.”

Let’s give it to these Americans.  They can’t be outsmarted. Not by Trump. Not even by the U.S. Supreme Court!

Rep. Alejano Wants Name Change For The Philippines: What Name Would You Prefer? (Reader Poll)

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Representative Gary Alejano has a lot of time on his hands.

Just after returning from The Netherlands where he and Senator Antonio Trillanes submitted a complaint against President Duterte before the International Criminal Court, the Akbayan Partylist Representative now wants a name change for the Philippines.

Under House Bill 5867, Alejano proposed the creation of a “Geographic Renaming Commission” which would “study the possibility and the feasibility of renaming our country.” 

The lawmaker, a former Marine captain turned mutineer, said the possible name should “appropriately address and define us as a people and nation.”

Alejano explained that renaming the country would rid it of the vestiges of colonialism; establish the national identity; and define how the nation, people, and national language would be addressed internationally.

So, in order to assist the future commission (which will have a budget of P30 Million) in coming up with a final decision, The Adobo Chronicles is conducting a nationwide poll on what our readers think would be the best and most appropriate new name for the Philippines.

We propose the following five names:

  • Kingdom of Lapu-Lapu
  • Adobo Republic
  • Baboy-an Islands
  • Laylayan Islands
  • Facifica Falayfay

Japan Donates Military Equipment To Help Philippines Crush Maute Terrorists

Leave a comment

IMG_1766.PNGTOKYO, Japan (The Adobo Chronicles, Tokyo Bureau) – Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has cancelled a planned visit to Japan next month to focus on the situation in Marawi City where the terrorist group Maute has launched a siege, prompting the proclamation of Martial Law in Mindanao.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe perfectly understands Duterte’s change of plans and has, in fact, pledged to donate sophisticated military equipment to the Philippines to help crush the rebel terrorists.

The donated equipment consists of two giant robots capable of decimating the terrorists.

The remote-controlled robots are said to be three times more effective that the used and dilapidated tanks and helicopters previously donated to the Philippines by the United States.
