BUTUAN CITY, Philippines – Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has vowed to end corruption by abolishing Philippine Congress, and to increase the salaries of government employees, if he is elected president in 2016. Duterte is considered one of the strong contenders for president, although he has not  yet decided whether or not to run.

“If we will follow the presidential form of government, it will take us 40 to 50 years before we can achieve the needed reforms,” Duterte told guests during the Federalism Forum here last Thursday.

Reacting to Duterte’s statement, Vice President Jejomar Binay who is considered the frontrunner in the 2016 presidential race, countered by saying that if elected, he will abolish the Office of the President. Instead, Binay said he will establish a monarchy.

“I believe that the Royal form of government is the only answer to the country’s problems,” Binay said, adding that too much politics is the root of all corruption in the Philippines.

Binay said that a monarchy will also eliminate the need for future elections which are always tainted with fraud, since the head of the monarchy is always determined by ascendancy.

Imagine Malacañang, the presidential palace, occupied by Haring Jejomar (King Jejomar), Reyna Elenita (Queen Elenita), Prinsepe Junjun (Prince JunJun), Prinsesa Abigail (Princess Abigail) and Prinsesa Nancy (Princess Nancy).

So if you want a monarchy for the Philippines, vote for Binay in 2016!

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Contrary to speculation that the Republican Party has no clear frontrunner in the nomination for president in the 2016 elections, the Grand Old Party (GOP) today unveiled its list of ‘presidentiables,’ any one of whom could be the next president of the United States.

“It’s a crowded field, but they are all frontrunners and equally qualified to be president,” said Reince Priebus, Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party continues to maintain that it has only one clear frontrunner (lone-up) for the 2016 presidential nomination – Barack Obama, with Hillary Clinton a distant second, and Elizabeth Warren, a distant third.

FINALLY, REPUBLICANS HAVE FOUND THEIR NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT IN THE 2016 ELECTIONS

imageWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – There has not been a clear frontrunner in the Republican nomination for president in the coming 2016 elections. Up until now.

Today, the Republican Party annointed their choice for president, saying they have finally found the man who could put up a strong challenge against the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton.

That man is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Republican announcement came just minutes after Netanyahu delivered a speech before a joint session of Congress upon the invitation of House Speaker John Boehner. The speech was interrupted by 25 hysterical standing ovations from the Republican legislators, and Tea Partiers.

“Netanyahu embodies everything that the Grand Old Party stands for (which is nothing), and we are very confident that he can effectively lead this nation with the full blessing and cooperation from the Republican-controlled congress,” Boehner said.

Recognizing that only natural-born citizens can run for U.S. president, Boehner said he and his party will immediately call for a constitutional convention to amend the qualifications for candidates for president so that Netanyahu can be the party’s standard bearer in 2016.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu announced that he is withdrawing his troubled candidacy from the upcoming Israeli elections, saying that being president of the  most powerful country on earth is much more appealing than being prime minister of Israel.
