DAVAO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It is no secret that Philippine presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte has his way with women. The Davao City mayor has publicly acknowledged that he has two wives and two girl friends.

Wherever Duterte goes, he is mobbed by women who compete for his attention and kisses.

The latest Adobo Chronicles poll shows that Duterte now has the support of more than 80% of all likely women voters. However, it is not because of the mayor himself. Rather it is because of his son, Sebastian, known as Baste.

Baste, 28, has finally stepped into the campaign trail for his dad, and women are oogling over his good looks and macho aura. His latest campaign appearance was in Hong Kong (see photo above).

Women netizens are going crazy. If only they would see Baste more often if he takes up residence at Malacañang (the presidential palace), the women said they would go all the way to vote for Duterte.

In the meantime, frontrunner candidate Senator Grace Poe is seriously considering tapping her son, Brian Llamanzares, also known for his good looks, to try to win back the women vote.

PORTLAND, Oregon (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – There couldn’t be a more appropriate news story for this Holy Week.

While Republicans Donald Trump and Ted Cruz were busy trading barbs on who’s wife is hotter or who or who is not having extra-marital affairs, God has spoken and has made His choice known on who will be the next president of the United States: Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders.

On Holy Monday, while Sanders was making a campaign speech in Portland, Oregon, God sent an unmistakable sign.

CNN Camera Crew Just Happened To Be At Bus Terminal When They Spotted VP Candidate Leni Robredo

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Liberal Party (LP) vice presidential candidate Leni Robredo is known for her simple ways, consciously trying her best to avoid the spotlight and the television cameras.

Many will remember the last State of the Nation Address (SONA) by President NoyNoy Aquino, when Robredo was caught taking the backway stairs to the Congress Assembly Hall to avoid the red carpet festivities. That was before she was named LP’s vice presidential candidate.

Well, yesterday, Robredo was caught riding a passenger bus in Cubao, Quezon City, on her way to her hometown to spend the Holy Week holidays. On camera, she said it was just practical for her to take the bus which only costs P1,000 as opposed to a plane which would be $7,000.

So, the CNN camera crew that interviewed her on the bus just HAPPENED to be at the bus terminal. What a lucky television crew.

And judging by the CNN video, the bus was already in motion, on its way to Naga City. CNN just HAPPENED to be headed to the same destination as Robredo.

It’s more fun in the Philippines.
