CEBU CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A Filipino broadcast journalist was ordered deported from his native country after being proclaimed “persona non grata” by the Philippines’ Bureau of Immigration (BOI).

The deportation order came just hours after the conclusion of the second Philippine presidential debate held in Cebu City last night.

Teddy Locsin, Jr.  used social media to criticize the debate, particularly candidates Senator Grace Poe and former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas.

Locsin said that the exchange between the two candidates was  “lousy” because they used “too much” Tagalog, even referring to the language as “inappropriate” for a debate.

Locsin said, “The sagutan between Poe and Mar is lousy because they used too much Tagalog, a language inappropriate to pointed debate, circular shi***.”

President Noynoy Aquino who always delivers his speeches in Tagalog, signed the deportation order.

English is the Philippines’ second language used by the country’s major newspapers and many news broadcasts including CNN Philippines.

 

CNN’S DON LEMON: I’M NOT A JOURNALIST, I’M A COMEDIAN

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles ) – In a no-holds-barred interview with The New York Times, controversial CNN anchor Don Lemon answered all sorts of questions — from why he thinks the missing Malaysia Airlines plane could have been swallowed by a black hole, to why he smelled marijuana in the air during his coverage of the Ferguson riots.

But Lemon’s answer to one particular question sums up his entire career as a public persona:

NYT: You have a track record of upsetting people on the left. What would you say was the worst episode?

LEMON: I don’t know. No one asks Jake Tapper or Wolf Blitzer to be the spokesperson for any particular group. I’m not an advocate or an activist. I’m not a journalist. I’m a comedian.

So there you go dear readers, don’t take Lemon too seriously. Lighten up. Let him be!
