WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – If you were Queen Rania, your husband is called King. If you were Princess Kate, your husband is called Prince. If you were President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, your husband would be referred to as First Gentleman.

The U.S. has never had a woman president. If former First Lady Hillary Clinton, who just announced her 2016 presidential bid, becomes president, what would Bill Clinton be called?

The Adobo Chronicles reached out to the former president to ask him how he would like to be called when he returns to The White House with President Hillary.

Would he prefer just to be called former president? “That would take away the prestige and power of the Office of the President,” Bill said. “There cannot be two ‘presidents’ living in The White House at the same time ” he added.

So what would he rather be called?

His answer: “First Lad.”

We kind of like that too. There’s a special ring to it!

What do our readers think?

BREAKING: HILLARY CLINTON RELEASES ALL EMAILS FROM HER PERSONAL ACCOUNT

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Bowing to intense pressure, and to clear the air once and for all about the use of her personal email account for official communication during her term as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton today released all of her email records to the media.

Political opponents and reporters,  especially from FOX News, scrambled to read and scrutinize the tens of thousands of email messages that Clinton released and were very disappointed that there was not a single email that could constitute a ‘political bomb.’

Most of the emails were addressed to U.S. ambassadors in foreign countries which she had visited, informing them of her flight arrival and duration of her visits.  The rest were personal notes to Bill Clinton, asking the former president to make dinner arrangements at their favorite restaurants in Washington, D.C. and New York.  There were a few emails sent to Barbara Streisand asking her how she was doing, and one email to Monica Lewinsky wishing her the best in her tell-all book endeavor.

Now, Republicans, who were counting on the email issue to become as explosive as Watergate and the Iran Contra Affair, are instead dealing with a far greater political fallout resulting from the open letter to Iran signed by 47 of their colleagues in the Senate.

Guess who’s having the last laugh?

BILL CLINTON ENDORSES MANNY PACQUIAO FOR PHILIPPINE PRESIDENT

Las Vegas, Nevada – Filipino boxing champ Manny Pacquiao had an unexpected visitor this week during his training session for his upcoming rematch with Timothy Bradley in Las Vegas. The visitor? Former President Bill Clinton.

Clinton has never made secret his admiration for the Filipino boxer who also happens to be a member of the Philippine House of Representatives. Pacquiao is the incumbent elected representative of his hometown of Sarangani.

During the 30-minute visit, Clinton and Pacquiao discussed a wide range of issues, from the future of the boxing sport to the Clinton Global Initiative to Philippine politics.

At the end of the private meeting, Clinton announced that he was betting his dollar on Pacquiao and predicted that the Filipino boxer will regain the title he lost by a controversial judges’ decision to Bradley. The Pacquiao-Bradley2 match will take place April 12 at the MGM Arena in Las Vegas.

Clinton also made another surprising announcement: that he was endorsing Pacquiao’s candidacy for the 2016 Philippine presidential elections.

Several months ago, The Adobo Chronicles broke the story about Pacquiao’s quest to succeed President NoyNoy Aquino whose term expires in 2016.

Political analysts are in agreement that because of Pacquiao’s enormous popularity among the Filipino people, he could win the elections hands down on his own, but they also agree that the endorsement by the equally popular Clinton would put Pacquiao way over the top in the 2016 political contest.

Presumptive 2016 presidential candidate, incumbent Vice President Jejomar Binay, has yet to comment on the Clinton endorsement of Pacquiao.
