MADAM AURING PREDICTS: NO INTERNATIONAL BEAUTY CROWNS FOR THE PHILIPPINES THIS YEAR OR NEXT

Miss India is this year's Miss Supranational. — Miss India is this year’s Miss Supranational.

Manila, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The past year, the Philippines laid claim to three International Beauty Pageant crowns: Miss World Megan Young, Miss International Bea Santiago and Miss Supranational Johanna Datul. Not to mention Miss Universe 3rd Runner-up Ariella Arida.

So the pressure is on for this year’s Philippines’ representatives to keep the crowns.

Unfortunately, the country’s foremost fortune teller (and actress) Madam Auring (born Aurea Sabalboro in Sampaloc, Manila) has predicted that the Philippines will not win any international beauty crown this year.

And her predictions are starting to come to fruition.

So far this year, the Philippines failed to win Miss International, Miss Supranational and Miss Intercontinental. And things are not looking good for the Philippines’ representatives to Miss World and Miss Universe.

Perhaps, Manny Pacquiao’s mom, Dionisia, can do her little voodoo routine (like she does each time her son has a championship boxing fight) to turn the tide for Miss World in London this December and Miss Universe in Florida in January and keep the hope alive for Miss Philippines?

San Francisco, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – The San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) has announced the launching of the Hot Cop of Castro Annual Pageant, with its inaugural show to be held on December 15 at the famed Castro Theater.

The contest announcement comes just days after Police Officer Chris Kohrs, a.k.a. Hot Cop of Castro, took down his Facebook fan page months after generating more than 50,000 followers.

Kohrs rose to prominence after a Castro resident took a photo of the good-looking cop while he was making the rounds of the gay district. Shortly after the photo was posted on Facebook, it went viral, giving birth to a popular fan page.

Korhs told reporters that he just wanted to focus on his family and job as a police officer. Nevertheless, he told his fans that he was just three digits away (911).

In view of Kohrs’ disappearance from social media, the SFPD decided to look for a successor, and the rest is history. The Hot Cop of Castro Pageant was born. “It is a way for us to showcase the SFPD in a more positive light as a gay-friendly police force,” a police spokesperson said.

Interested pageant contestants are asked to contact SFPD through text and email but are urged not to call 911. The contest is open to all SFPD cops, gay or straight. “We have no specific qualifications or criteria. All it takes is for candidates to show us what they’ve got that’s hot,” SFPD said.
