Leave a comment

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – The United States of America is now composed of 51 states, after President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order Naming Kansas City in Missouri, No. 51 in the Union.

This bumps the Philippines and Puerto Rico off the potential waiting list for No. 51.

Trump announced his Executive Order in a tweet on Sunday night after the Kansas City Chiefs won their first Super Bowl in 50 years.

“Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs on a great game, and a fantastic comeback, under immense pressure. You represented the Great State of Kansas and, in fact, the entire USA, so very well. Our Country is PROUD OF YOU,” he tweeted.

To differentiate the new state from the existing State of Kansas, the former shall be named the New State of Kansas.

Oh say can you see…

Manny Pacquiao May Be Banned From Future Boxing Fights In The U.S.

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (Tha Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippine biased news media and members of the political opposition are having a blast over reports that PH officials and others responsible for the jailing of Senator Leila De Lima  will be banned from entering the U.S. as part of the approval by President Trump of  a Senate-initiated appropriations bill.

While there has not been been an official “ban list” from the U.S. State Department, there is an overwhelming speculation that world champiom boxer and Senator Manny Pacquiao could be included in the list because of an anti-De Lima resolution he proposed years ago.

To refresh our readers’ memory, Pacquiao  had initiated a move to  unseat De Lima from a committe chairmanship.

So if Pacquiao is indeed on the ban list, we can say goodbye to the Senator’s future title fights in the U.S.

Leah With An ‘H’ Chosen To Sing Tokyo Summer Olympics Theme Song!

Leave a comment

TOKYO, Japan (The Adobo Chronicles, Tokyo Bureau) – Move over, Lea Salonga.  Here comes Lea with an “h,” Leah Navarro.

While Salonga may have recorded the theme song of the 2019 South East Asian Games, “We Win As One,” Navarro takes it further to the world stage.  The aging singer has been chosen to sing the 2020 Summer Olympics theme song. What’s more, the Olympic Organizing Committee (OOC) didn’t have to commission a new song.  Navarro’s 1980’s hit song “Isang Mundo, Isang Awit” has been adopted as the official theme music. (It was composed by Nonong Pedero.)

In naming Navarro as the Olympic songstress, OOC said the lyrics of  “Isang Mundo” encompass the entire universe and the song is very appropriate for the quadrennial sports competition.

The Japanese Olympic Organizing Committee recomended the song because it already contains some Japanese lyrics as may be seen here:

Navarro was earlier reported to have tweeted that the SEA Games 2019 Organizing Committee should have chosen her song — instead of Hotdog’s “Manila” as the entrance theme song of the Filipino athletes during the Opening Ceremonies.

We she got more than what she bargained for.  Mas sosi (more prestigious)!
