One Million Protest March Awaits Donald Trump’s Manila Visit

IMG_5544.PNGMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In what is being described as “miraculously unprecedented,” supporters and critics alike of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte will hold a joint protest march at the Luneta during the Manila visit of Donald Trump.

The U.S. President is scheduled to be in the Philippines this November to attend the summit meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Leaders of “Tindig Pilipinas,” an anti-Duterte movement and their Duterte counterparts secretly met at Club Filipino in Makati last night to finalize plans for the Million March.

Leading the protest march will be Senators Antonio Trillanes, Risa Hontiveros and Bam Aquino; Jim Paredes, Raissa Robles, Maria Ressa, Mocha Uson, Thinking Pinoy, Sass Rogando Sasot, and Imee Marcos who will lock hands throughout the rally.

President Duterte has given the go signal to provide incarcerated Senator Leila De Lima a one-day pass so she could participate in the march.

Is this the beginning of a United Philippines?

We have Trump to thank.

Miss Venezuela Banned From Entering U.S.

IMG_5247.PNGWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Donald Trump used to own the Miss Universe Organization which sponsors the annual Miss Universe Beauty Pageant.

But now that he’s president, Trump wants nothing to do with the next Miss Universe — if it happens to be Miss Venezuela.

Trump’s new travel ban covers 8 countries, including Venezuela.

The Miss Universe Organization is headquartered in New York, and the winning beauty is provided an apartment in the Big Apple throughout her reign.

Unless it is Miss Venezuela.

Venezuela has accumulated more Big Four international pageant titles than any other country, including seven Miss Universe winners, six Miss World winners, seven Miss International winners and two Miss Earth winners.

 

 

BREAKING: Filipinos Banned From Traveling To U.S.

IMG_5239.PNGWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Filipinos were shocked today upon hearing that the Philippines has been included in President Donald Trump’s new, expanded travel ban.

The U.S. State Department, however, clarified that the ban only applies to Filipinos who are not able to secure a visa to visit the U.S.

“It’s not really a change in policy,” a spokesperson told The Adobo Chronicles.

Whew!

All’s well that ends well.
