CNN, FOX NEWS IN A FIERCE CONTEST TO SOLVE MISSING AIRASIA FLIGHT MYSTERY

Atlanta, Georgia (The Adobo Chronicles) –AirAsia flight QZ8501 went missing from radar en route to Singapore. The plane lost contact somewhere over the Java Sea and while there was no emergency or distress call, the pilot did request an altitude change citing severe weather just before the plane vanished from radar.

Like the still unsolved mystery of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, the loss of contact with the AirAsia aircraft has triggered a fierce contest between cable news networks CNN and FOX News. Either network wants to be the first to solve the mystery.

CNN Aviation Analyst Mary Schiavo said that terrorism happens when it’s nice out, not when there’s bad weather which seems to be the case with AirAsia Flight QZ8501.

“At this point, given it was extremely bad weather, the chances of this being some sort of a terrorist activity are very small.,” Schiavo said, on television. “Because most terrorist activity takes place in good weather.”

Today Fox News host Anna Kooiman invited former FAA spokesperson Scott Brenner to discuss the difference in the way American pilots and non-American pilots were trained and if maybe that had anything to do with what happened to the Air Asia passenger jet.

While it seems pretty clear Brenner was probably about to address the difference in pilot training, Kooiman took the opportunity to highlight the dangers of the metric system and “a difference in the way that we measure things.”

“Even when we think about temperature, it’s Fahrenheit or Celsius,” she pointed out. “It’s kilometers or miles. You know, everything about their training could be similar, but different.”

Brenner agreed with Kooiman, saying that the U.S. should convert to the metic system since “we are the only country still using the imperial system.”

Then Kooiman’s co-host Charles Payne proceeded to blame Asian culture, saying that all Asian people will humbly and unquestioningly obey procedure even if that means crashing an airplane killing hundreds of people lest they bring shame and dishonor on their family.

For up-to-date analysis, wild speculation, out-of-this-world theories about what may have caused the AirAsia jetliner to go missing, tune in to either CNN or FOX News in the next 90 days. They could use your support to boost their ratings.

Which news network will win the contest?

POPE FRANCIS WILL VISIT ARROYO, JAILED SENATORS, NAPOLES DURING PHILIPPINES VISIT

December 28, 2014 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

The Vatican, Italy (The Adobo Chronicles) – Mathew 25:36 : ‘I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

This biblical verse will be the overarching theme of the coming visit to the Philippines by Pope Francis.

Today, The Vatican announced a revised schedule of the papal visit to this Catholic country of 100 Million people.

The pontiff will spend an extra day in Tacloban and other cities devastated by last year’s typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda). He will be distributing clothes to typhoon survivors. Top Italian clothing designers like Gucci, Fendi, Diesel, and Dolce & Gabbana have donated crates of their top-of-the-line clothing designs for this purpose.

Instead of meeting with government officials in Manila, the pope will visit former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and Senator Juan Ponce Enrile who are both under hospital arrest for corruption charges. He will also spend time with Senators Jinggoy Estrada and Bong Revilla as well as businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles — all of whom are in prison in connection with the pork barrel scam.

The revised papal schedule was finalized despite objections from President NoyNoy Aquino and the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines.

Indeed, when he visits the Philippines in January, Pope Francis will clothe the naked, take care of the sick and visit those in prison, just like it says in the bible.

L-R: Senators Estrada, Revilla and Enrile

Manila, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Christmas, especially for Filipinos, is a time for giving, compassion and goodwill. So what did jailed Philippine Senators Juan Ponce Enrile, Jinggoy Estrada and Bong Revilla get for Christmas?

The three senators are facing plunder and graft charges for their alleged involvement in the purported diversion of their Priority Development Assistance Funds (more popularly known as the pork barrel scam) to ghost projects for kickbacks under the scheme of alleged mastermind Janet Lim-Napoles.

Revilla, who from the beginning of his incarceration has complained about prison food, was treated to a Christmas eve dinner (Noche Buena), courtesy of Via Mare, one of the top caterers in the country.
Estrada, who has been experiencing migraines because of the heat inside his prison cell, was given a portable airconditioner courtesy of Hitachi Corporation.
Enrile, known for his womanizing, was granted visitation rights from his mistresses or anyone of his choosing, at his hospital suite. Enrile is under hospital arrest at the Philippine National Police (PNP) General Hospital.

In addition, Revilla and Estrada held a joint Christmas party at the community social hall at the PNP Custodial Center.

All these Christmas perks were, of course, courtesy of President NoyNoy Aquino, a devout Catholic, who wanted to show his humanitarian and Christian qualities.

As for Janet Lim-Napoles, she reportedly received a laptop and free Internet connection so that she could watch and re-watch the YouTube video of her daughter Jeanne Napoles’ 21st Hollywood birthday bash.
