Senator Grace Poe and Transportation Secretary Joseph Abaya originating Hand Jive 2.0

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Filipinos are calling it the ‘Hand Jive 2.0.’ It’s a modern version of a dance craze which was popular in the 1950’s.

The original Hand Jive involves a complicated pattern of hand moves and claps at various parts of the body, following and/or imitating the percussion instruments. Hand moves include thigh slapping, cross-wrist slapping, fist pounding, hand clapping, and hitch hike moves.

Hand Jive 2.0 evolved as a result of Senate hearings in Manila and surfaced when Philippine Transportation and Communications Secretary Joseph Emilio Baya was questioned by Senator Grace Poe on Metro Manila’s traffic congestion as well as problems with the Manila Metro Rail Transit t (MRT) trains.

The new dance craze consists of hand movements simulating cars and buses overtaking each other, and MRT trains speeding and slowing down as they approach or leave overcrowded terminals.

Forget the Macarena. Hand Jive 2.0 is now the “in” thing!

LOS ANGELES, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Six U.S. states and four countries which are home to some of Donald Trump’s real estate properties have decided to shut out the Republican presidential candidate by imposing a travel ban on him.

The move was in response to Trump’s inflammatory statement calling for the banning of all Muslims from entering the United States.

Nevada, New Jersey, California, Illinois, New York and Hawaii have issued a “no- entry” and “no-fly” advisory banning Trump from setting foot in their states. In addition to being hosts of Trump properties, the six states are also home to large Native American populations. Native Americans have declared Trump a persona non grata or undesirable, unwelcome citizen.

The countries of Panama, Canada, India and the Philippines have also joined in imposing a travel ban on Trump.

More states and countries are expected to follow suit.

The states have said that the travel ban will remain in force until they find out what is going on with Trump.

DONALD TRUMP NOW ACCEPTING BUSINESS PROPOSALS FOR FOOL-PROOF U.S. NATIONAL IDs

December 7, 2015 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – Speaking at the penthouse suite of the Trump Towers in Las Vegas, Republican presidential candidate announced that he is now accepting business proposals for the production of fool-proof U.S. national identification cards that will help keep Muslims and other “undesirable” people out of American territory.

Trump’s announcement came just minutes after calling for a “total and complete shutdown” of the entry of Muslims to the United States “until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.”

In a statement released by his campaign Monday afternoon, Trump included recent poll findings that he says show that a sizable segment of the Muslim population has “great hatred towards Americans.”

Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski told the Associated Press that the ban would apply to “everybody,” including both immigrants and tourists. Soon after the statement was released, Trump tweeted that he had “just put out a very important policy statement on the extraordinary influx of hatred and danger coming into our country.” He added in the tweet: “We must be vigilant.”

Trump said he is being proactive by calling for national ID business proposals now, instead of waiting until he gets elected president of the United States in November next year. “I want to put everything in motion now, ready to go on my first day in the Oval Office,” the real estate mogul said.
