BACOLOD CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Police investigators looking into the case of a 21-year-old man believed to be high on drugs who allegedly stabbed his live-in partner and his nine-month-old baby in Barangay Rizal, Silay City, Negros Occidental, on Tuesday morning accused the Inquirer of false reporting.
Inquirer’s headline read: “Man ‘high on drugs’ stabs dead partner, baby in Negros Occidental.”
“It is not true that the live-in partner and baby were already dead when the man stabbed them,” investigators said.
“There is huge difference between stabbing dead people and stabbing to death people who were still alive — as far as criminal charges are concerned. We can’t charge a man for murder if the vicims were already dead before he committed the crime,” investigators added.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles®) – Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words. But then, at other times, it means nothing.
Philippine social media was abuzz with rumors that a youthful member of President NoyNoy Aquino’s cabinet took advantage of the State of the Nation Address (SONA) Monday night to propose to presidential sister Kris Aquino.
The rumors all began with a photo posted on Facebook, showing Joel Villanueva, director general of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), down on his knees and seemingly begging the actress and television host to marry him.
Aquino was quick to deny the rumors, but admitted she felt a little kilig (to tremble in a flirtatious way) by the photo. After all, Villanueva used to be a basketball player like her ex-husband James Yap.
TESDA is the government agency tasked to manage and supervise technical education and skills development in the Philippines. It was created by virtue of Republic Act 7796, otherwise known as the “Technical Education and Skills Development Act of 1994”.
Villanueva was appointed by the president in 2010. The director general position carries with it a cabinet rank.
Aquino is known to be a celebrity who can’t keep her personal life and romantic encounters under wraps. She has previously gone public with her relationship to a married politician who was also a former professional basketball player, Joey Marquez. Aquino accused Marquez of domestic violence and giving her a sexually-transmitted disease.
She has also been romantically linked to Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista, a former child actor. No, he was not a basketball player.
We are often told that pictures don’t lie. That’s absolutely not true. With or without Photoshop.
Trump as he exited the women’s restroom at the Laredo International Airport. (Screen grab)
LAREDO, Texas (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Every so often, politicians and celebrities are caught in uncompromising situations — in public restrooms.
It is no secret that Republican presidential candidate likes women. That’s why he owns several beauty pageants and has been married three times. But who knew he also likes using women’s public restrooms?
Trump arrived in Texas yesterday to tour the U.S.-Mexico border in Laredo. He tried to be incognito by wearing a white baseball cap to hide his all too familiar faded blond hair as he stepped off his private jet and proceeded to use the international airport’s restroom– the women’s restroom.
It all went without incident until he came out of the restroom to a swarm of television cameras, reporters and photographers.
Asked why he chose to use the women’s bathroom instead of the men’s, Trump simply shrugged his shoulders and said, “I needed to go pee so bad I didn’t realize I entered the women’s bathroom. It was only when I noticed it had stalls but no urinals that I knew I was in the wrong bathroom, but it was too late. I really couldn’t hold it any longer!”
Nothing ever embarrasses Trump, but this incident apparently did.
