MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – “Grab her by the p****.”

Well, that infamous quote was of course attributed to Donald Trump in a video tape of a conversation he had with television host Billy Bush.

Sexual harassment which seems to be a growing epidemic in the United States can come in different forms, physicial and verbal.

In Manila, the American President is being accused of sexual harassment — towards Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.

Philippine news media outlets are reporting that Trump told Duterte’s Executive Secretary: “I like Duterte very much.”

Too bad, Duterte is hopeless straight and is very happy with Honylet Avanceña.

Well, there’s always the thing called ‘bromance,’ the close but non-sexual relationship between two men.
