Ex-Philippine Ombudsman Conchita Morales Denied Entry Into Hong Kong, Then Washington, D.C.

1 Comment

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles. Washington Bureau) – Former Philippine Ombudsman Conchita  Carpio Morales was denied entry into Hong Kong by Chinese Immigration authorities for allegedly being a ‘security risk.’

Morales and former Foreign Affairs Sec. Albert Del Rosario have hauled Chinese President Xi Jinping to the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity.

Morales then decided to fly to Washington, D.C. since she still had a valid visa to enter the U.S. of A.

Alas, Morales, by virtue of her Spanish-sounding surname, was again held in D.C.  by Immigration officials on suspicion of being a Mexican trying to enter the U.S. illegally.

Donald Trump hates Mexicans and wants to bar them them from entering the U.S. via the land borders between the U.S. and Mexico (think Great Wall), or via air or ocean.

A spokesperson for Morales said that she and her vacationing family are on their way back to Manila, hoping they would be allowed re-entry into the Philippines.

Talk about double or triple jeopardy…

50B6F13A-E1C1-4B94-A836-DB275E601F25MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Airlines are always thinking up of ways to make their onboard flight safety demonstrations and videos more interesting and effective.

Some airlines use comedy or dance to take boredom out of their demos.

Leave it to Philippine Air Lines to take it a step further.

PAL has tapped Otso Diretso Senatorial candidate Samira Gutoc to record its new, improved flight safety video. Airline officials were so impressed with Gutoc’s recent stunt in which she posed for a photo pretending to be heading by jet ski towards the West Philippine Sea to claim the country’s disputed territory from China.

In the infamous photo, Gutoc inadvertently wore her life vest the wrong way. Or invertedly.
