NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – Next week’s issue of Time Magazine features a shadow image of Hillary Clinton with horns.

The cover immediately elicited outrage and criticism form Hillary supporters as well as members of the media establishment.

In defending its choice of the cover, Time said the graphic didn’t show any horns. “Those were curlers, which are a common practice among women as part of their daily beauty routine,” a Time editor told The Adobo Chronicles.

LOS ANGELES, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Who could forget those live television moments when Oprah Winfrey gave away free cars and paid Australian trips to the live audience of her The Oprah Winfrey Show?

The show ended in 2011 and Winfrey established her own television network soon thereafter -the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN).

Today, Winfrey taped a new television special that is reminiscent of the defunct Oprah Show, complete with a live audience and a surprise give-away item.

During the show, Winfrey asked the audience members to look under their seat for their free gift. They found a pack of weed (marijuana). “Everybody gets love,” she announced. Pandemonium ensued.

How times have changed.

The TV special airs on April 1st on OWN. Click HERE to watch the video segment.

PHILIPPINES PRESIDENT AQUINO’S EXIT STRATEGY: EXILE IN TONGA

FullSizeRender (35) MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – While standing firm and defiant amid calls for his resignation, Philippines President NoyNoy Aquino has reportedly come up with an exit strategy, just in case.

Political, religious and activist groups have demanded that the embattled president step down due to his inability to effectively manage the government. The calls for his resignation have escalated since allegations have surfaced regarding his ‘role’ in the slaying of the 44 police officers (PNP-SAF) during a ‘misencounter’ with rebel forces in the southern island of Mindanao.

According to inside sources at Malacañang, the presidential palace, Aquino is looking at an exit strategy similar to what happened in 1986, when then President Ferdinand E. Marcos fled to Hawaii after the people power uprising.

The same sources said that instead of fleeing to Hawaii, Aquino is looking to be exiled in a new South Pacific island in Tonga.

This new island recently formed as a result of an underwater volcanic eruption off the coast of Tonga last month. Experts believe a volcano exploded underwater and expanded until an island formed.

The experts also believe that the “new” island is expected to erode back into the ocean in a matter of months. So Aquino needs to act on his exit strategy soon before the island disappears.
