MILEY CYRUS: ‘SENATOR TOM COTTON AND I ARE NOT DATING!’

HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Celebrity romances are always a favorite topic on social media and gossip tabloids. In most cases, news media are also in on them.

Last month, Philippine President Aquino was reported to be dating newly-crowned Miss Philippines Universe Pia Wurtzbach after the couple was seen having dinner — in the company of many other friends. Neither the bachelor president nor the beauty queen confirmed the dating status.

Now, singer Miley Cyrus is rumored to be dating Senator Tom Cotton, the same Tom Cotton who authored the  open letter signed by some 47 Republican senators to Iran, undermining the Obama administration’s nuclear negotiations with that country.

The Arkansas senator once again made headlines this week when he said the gay community needs to get a perspective, given that in Iran, one can get executed for being gay.

The rumors started when Cyrus posted Cotton’s phone number on her Twitter account asking her fans to call the senator to express why freedom is “important to us & our country.”

In a phone conversation with The Adobo Chronicles, Cyrus unequivocally denied that she and Cotton were dating. “Just because I have his phone number doesn’t mean we’re seeng each other,” Cyrus said.  She added: “Besides, I don’t date guys who wear purple shirts with a red tie.”

So there you have it, straight from the horse’s mouth!

But you can still call Senator Cotton at (202) 224-2353 to express your outrage over his gay comment.

PHILIPPINES PRESIDENT AQUINO’S EXIT STRATEGY: EXILE IN TONGA

Leave a comment

FullSizeRender (35)MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – While standing firm and defiant amid calls for his resignation, Philippines President NoyNoy Aquino has reportedly come up with an exit strategy, just in case.

Political, religious and activist groups have demanded that the embattled president step down due to his inability to effectively manage the government.  The calls for his resignation have escalated since allegations have surfaced regarding his ‘role’ in the slaying of the 44 police officers (PNP-SAF)  during a ‘misencounter’ with rebel forces in the southern island of Mindanao.

According to inside sources at Malacañang, the presidential palace, Aquino is looking at an exit strategy similar to what happened in 1986, when then President Ferdinand E. Marcos fled to Hawaii after the people power uprising.

The same sources said that instead of fleeing to Hawaii, Aquino is looking to be exiled in a new South Pacific island in Tonga.

This new island recently formed as a result of an underwater volcanic eruption off the coast of Tonga last month.  Experts believe a volcano exploded underwater and expanded until an island formed.

The experts also believe that the “new” island is expected to erode back into the ocean in a matter of months.  So Aquino needs to act on his exit strategy soon before the island disappears.

Leave a comment

imageMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Filipinos have spoken and have clearly made their wishes known on who among four Filipina candidates they want to send to planet Mars aboard Mars One, the first rocketship that will carry humans to the red planet.

In responding to The Adobo Chronicles poll, Filipinos voted overwhelmingly for Senator Nancy Binay who gained more than 50% of the votes. In second place was Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago.

Many poll respondents opted to vote for their own write-in candidate. Some 95% of write-in voters chose TV host and presidential sister Kris Aquino. The remaining 5% voted for her brother, President NoyNoy Aquino.

Many respondents also sent in their comments, some saying that Nancy Binay should take her entire family with her.

Others suggested that both Santiago and Binay should be afforded the one-way ticket to Mars. That is, if they could stand each other.

Thank you to our readers for participating in the poll.  You can still vote for your favorite Mars passenger HERE.
