MANNY PACQUIAO SNUBS PHILIPPINE VICE PRESIDENT’S INVITATION TO BE HIS RUNNING MATE

July 7, 2014 Pol Pinoy 1 Comment

Manila, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – In 2016, the Filipino people will elect a new president to succeed NoyNoy Aquino whose 6-year term expires that year.

While many politicians have hinted about running for president, no one has been more straightforward and definite about his presidential ambition than the current vice president, Jejomar Binay. After all, it is in his family’s blood. Binay’s son Jejomar, Jr. is the mayor of Makati City and his two daughters Nancy and Abigail are members of the Senate and House of Representatives, respectively.

This early, Binay has already formed a new political party called the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) and has been quoted as saying in media reports that boxing champion Manny Pacquiao will be included in his new party’s senatorial lineup. Pacquiao currently sits as a member of the House of Representatives.

In a Skype interview today with The Adobo Chronicles, Pacquiao vehemently denied that he was running for senator under Binay’s new party. “How is that possible, when my intention is to run for president,” Pacquiao said.

Binay’s strategy was to try to get Pacquiao to run for an elective post other than president, so that he (Binay) will run unopposed by a very formidable candidate such as the boxer congressman. With his enormous popularity and wealth (pre-tax), Pacquiao’s odds of winning the presidential post in a nationwide election are better than 10 to 1, in his favor.

Binay is reportedly considering Senator Jinggoy Estrada who is now in jail facing plunder charges to be his vice presidential running mate. Pacquiao, on the other hand, has hinted he might ask actress Nora Aunor to be his running mate. (In the Philippines, the vice president is elected independently of the president, unlike in the U.S. where a vote for the president is also a vote for the vice president.)

New Canaan, Connecticut (The Adobo Chronicles) – Belgium celebrated its 2-1 win over the United States in today’s World Cup match which led to the elimination of the Americans from the competition. In the U.S. , conservative columnist Ann Coulter was doing her own celebrating.

Coulter, in her syndicated column last week berated America’s fascination for soccer which she described as a sign of the nation’s moral decay. She wrote, “One can only hope that, in addition to learning English, these new Americans (referring to immigrants) will drop their soccer fetish with time.”

Coulter appeared vindicated with the U.S. loss to Belgium and announced that on July 4th, she will be hosting a Belgian waffle breakfast at her family’s home in New Canaan. The Universal Press Syndicate which distributes her column, will sponsor the breakfast.

The event will be by invitation only, and Coulter said that no soccer moms will be invited.

WHY CONSERVATIVE COLUMNIST ANN COULTER HATES SOCCER MOMS

June 26, 2014 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

New York, NY (The Adobo Chronicles) – In her syndicated column Wednesday, conservative columnist Ann Coulter delivered what many consider to be the harshest judgment ever of the sport of soccer. Her piece comes right smack in the middle of the FIFA World Cup in Brazil. She was obviously going for the ratings.

“No American whose great-grandfather was born here is watching soccer. One can only hope that, in addition to learning English, these new Americans (referring to immigrants) will drop their soccer fetish with time,” Coulter began her sourgrape rant. She described any growing interest in soccer to be a sign of the nation’s moral decay.

She then continued by belittling soccer moms. “Liberal moms like soccer because it’s a sport in which athletic talent finds so little expression that girls can play with boys,” she said.

Well, it turns out that Coulter’s hatred for soccer began many years ago when she started dating men. Coulter has been engaged several times but never married. All her fiancés cancelled their engagement with her and left her for … young soccer single moms.

Now you know.

Here’s Coulter’s column.
