BREAKING: Filipino Americans Could Decide Election Of U.S. President

IMG_6905.PNGSAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – With an almost dead-heat presidential contest between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton, the votes that will be cast for third-party candidates like Jill Stein and Gary Johnson in Tuesday’s elections could spell the loss or victory for either major candidate.

Even a 3% vote for either Stein or Johnson could mean 3% less for Clinton or Trump which basically would erase the polls’  margin of error between the two major candidates.

But what if another 3 Million votes were taken away from Clinton or Trump?

Well, that’s exactly what’s brewing among American voters who are of Filipino descent who remain undecided on their presidential choice.

There is a growing consensus among FilAms (Filipino Americans) to write in Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s name in the U.S. presidential ballot.

Better safe than sorry?

Political Asylum In The Philippines Offered To Americans Wanting To Escape A Donald Trump Presidency

imageMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Philippines) – Many Americans are starting to make plans to move to other countries in the event that Donald Trump is elected president of the United States on Tuesday.  

Canada and countries in Europe are among the more popular choices for a new life for Americans.

But Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has laid out an offer that’s hard to refuse.  He is offering Americans wanting to escape a Trump presidency a hassle-free political asylum status.  No questions asked.

“Despite my rhetoric against the U.S., I have a soft spot in my heart for Americans — including Filipino Americans — who are fearful of Donald Trump as president of the most powerful country on earth,” Duterte said.

“We’ve been a colony of America for many decades, we speak English, and we love Hollywood movies, so Americans will not have a difficult time adjusting to life in the Philippines, the president pointed out.

Donald Trump Declares November 8 Lumpia Tuesday

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles, Las Vegas Bureau) – Remember the Latino surrogate for the Trump campaign who a month ago warned that without tighter immigration policies from the Republican presidential nominee, “you’re going to have taco trucks on every corner.”

Needless to say, that didn’t sit well with Latino voters and the Trump campaign has been trying hard to do some damage control since then.

Now, the smart Donald Trump has turned that gaffe into his advantage, hoping to win back the votes of minority voters. Well, at least the Filipino American voters.

Trump, campaigning heavily in the state of Nevada which has a large Filipino population, declared that November 8, election day, will be “Lumpia Tuesday.”

Food trucks hired by the Trump campaign will be stationed at polling places throughout the country giving away free lumpia to all those who will promise to vote for the Donald when they go into the voting booth.

Lumpia is that delicious Filipino delicacy, akin to the Chinese eggroll.

So, on November 8, go out and vote.  And have a lumpia!
