MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chroniclers, Manila Bureau) – The Miss Grand Philippines organization stripped Herlene Budol of her crown as the 2023 “Miss Philippines Tourism” and declared her persona non grata.
This, after Budol said on her Facebook account that her potential was wasted, insinuating that she should have won as “Miss Grand International.”
The comedienne has caused a stir in the pageant world after video clips of the media presentation showed her making fun of a question from a member of the press. She also didn’t really answer the question.
Budol tried some damage control during the pageant finals when she used a translator to answer the final question for the top 5 candidates, apparently to no avail.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – There have been rumors that President Bongbong Marcos is considering appointing former DILG Secretary and defeated presidential candidate Mar Rox as the new Secretary of Agriculture. But they are just that — rumors.
What’s not a rumor is that Marcos has decided to appoint former President Rodrigo Duterte as the new Secretary of Foreign Affairs. The Adobo Chronicles has learned that Marcos will make Duterte’s appointment formally during his State of the National Address (SONA) next week.
But Duterte is not waiting for his official appointment. We went right to work, visiting Beijing and meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
BEIJING, China (The Adobo Chronicles, Hong Kong Bureau) – China’s Xi Jinping met with the President of the Philippines for the nth time today.
Problem is, the Chinese president’s confidants failed to inform him that the Philippines held a presidential election in 2022 and that his good friend Rodrigo Duterte is now just a private citizen.
Interestingly, Xi also thought that Duterte’s daughter Sara is now vice president.
“Congratulations. It’s great that your vice president is also you daughter,” Xi told Duterte. “Long live dynasty,” he said.
