MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco couldn’t take any more heat from the controversial “Love The Philippines” tourism campaign and promo video. She has decided to leave the Department of Tourism (DOT). This, despite President Bongbong Marcos saying that she still has the trust and confidence of Malacañang.

But to her fans and supporters, no worries.

She is leaving only temporarily. It is being reported that she is taking a family leave of absence. No details on when and where.

Maybe in one of the countries featured in the DDB video?

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – The Miss Universe Organization has announced that it is renaming its international beauty pageant to “It Universe.”

The decision came after Netherlands crowned its first openly transgender woman queen to compete in this year’s Miss Universe. Rikkie Valerie Kolle, 22, made history after she won the competition on Sunday.

Kolle is the second openly transgender woman to compete in Miss Universe. In 2018, Angela Maria Ponce Camacho represented Spain in the pageant.

“We want to be all-inclusive and non-discriminatory and changing the pageant name is the right thing do it,” the organization told The Adobo Chronicles.

While there have only been two openly transgender women competing in the pageant, insiders said there could be other Miss U transgender women contestants in the past, adding: “they just weren’t public about .”
