MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – If you think U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is the weirdest of them all — proposing to build a great wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and promising to deport 11 Million undocumented immigrants — think again.

Nothing beats the declared candidates for Philippine president — all 130 of them.  Especially Arturo Pacheco.

Pacheco is running on a unique platform vowing to make the Philippines the 51st U.S. state and proposing legislation that would create four seasons in the Philippines: winter, spring, summer and fall.

Of course, the Philippines, being  tropical country located above the equator, only has two seasons — the dry season and the wet season.

Pacheco’s proposal resonates well with Filipino voters who are tired of scorching heat and devastating typhoons.  They are looking forward to snow, falling leaves, spring blossoms and some breezy Hawaii weather.
