PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (The AdoboChronicles, Bangkok Bureau) –
The Philippines makes history next month when an all-Filipina team of athletes parade at the opening ceremonies of the Southeast Asian Games (SEAG) in Cambodia.
But that’s not all.
An all-LGBTQ team of athletes will represent our Pearl of the Orient at the closing parade.
Leave it to the Philippines to be the leader of gender equality and respect for sexual identity not only in Southeast Asia but throughout the world!
Mabuhay!
SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau). After all most five years in hiding, former Commission on Elections chairman Andy Bautista is finally returning to the Philippines.
Bautista, who was being investigated by the Senate for alleged unexplained wealth resulting from revelations by his own wife, flew to the U.S. on November 21, 2017. He refused to return to the Philippines despite a subpoena to attend a Senate probe, citing “medical challenges”, and added that he never received the summons sent by lawmakers.
His return to the Philippines was announced by Bautista himself on his Twitter account, and will reportedly attend the final UAAP game between U.P. and Ateneo at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
It may be difficult to spot Bautista since everyone is being asked to wear black during the game.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippine Senator and champion boxer Manny Pacquiao was caught on video saying he was half Spanish. But it appears he is also Scottish!
Videos don’t lie:
Does that make the Presidential hopeful a third Filipino, a third Spanish and a third Scottish?
