SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Like any other shopping mall elsewhere, Westfield Mall in downtown San Francisco has its focal point when putting up its holiday decoration for shoppers and tourists to enjoy.

For the mall, its focal point is the preserved dome from the old Emporium Department Store.

For this year’s holiday attraction, Westfield decided to hang a giant Christmas Tree from the top of the dome.

So off went the interior designers and construction workers to build the tree in time for its unveiling this Thanksgiving weekend — the start of the holiday shopping season.

But alas, when the tree was unveiled yesterday, something was terribly wrong. They hang the tree upside down!

Embarrassed, the mall management immediately ordered the construction crew to redo the work and to make sure the tree is hung upright this time around.

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.

Among his first tweets was about him being forced to watch CNN while in the Philippines.

But how can the President of the United States — and especially Trump — be “forced” to watch CNN?

The Adobo Chronicles caught up with Trump while snacking on his McDonald’s burger and fries on board Air Force One, enroute back to the United States, and this is what he told us:

”First of all, I could not access FOX News from my hotel room.  Second of all, I do not understand the Tagalog newscasts.  Thirdly, I saw this news reader — I think his name is Noli de Castro.  I could not stand his screaming on TV.  And this lil guy was a former Vice President?”

So there you have it. Straight from the Donald’s mouth.
