WASHINGTON, D.C.(The Adobo Chronicles) – It’s Déjà vu! The man who challenged Barack Obama’s citizenship is now questioning whether Republican Senator Ted Cruz is qualified to run for president.

The junior senator from Texas announced today that he was seeking the Republican nomination for president in the 2016 elections — the first major candidate to do so.

Business mogul Donald Trump, who makes no secret about his intention to run for president in 2016, said today that Cruz, who was born in Canada, is not eligible to run for president because he wasn’t born in the United States.

“I don’t even need to see his birth certificate,” Trump said, ” since he has admitted that he was born in Canada.”

Responding to Trump’s pronouncement, Cruz countered by saying, “Mr. Trump must not know his geography.  Yes, I was born in Canada which is in North America.  Ergo, I am American and very well qualified to run for U.S. president.”

“On the other hand,” the Texas senator said, “I haven’t seen Mr. Trump’s birth certificate. He doesn’t look American to me. I think he’s been dyeing his weird hair blonde, and wearing colored contacts to look American.”

“Don’t show me your money; show me your birth certificate,” Cruz challenged Trump.

LOS ANGELES, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – U.S. mainstream media totally missed out on a big, breaking story when they reported that American football quarterback free agent Tim Tebow “paid a visit” to Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacquiao during the latter’s sparring session.

Once all the photos were taken and the media reporters had left, The Adobo Chronicles sat down for a one-on-one interview with Pacquiao.

We didn’t ask him any questions about his upcoming fight with Floyd Mayweather (May 2, 2015, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.) Rather, we asked the Filipino congressman about his future political plans.

“I’m glad you asked that,” Pacquiao told us, “because today, I am officially announcing that I am running for president in the 2016 elections in the Philippines.”

“I can now also confirm that I have chosen my vice presidential runningmate — Tim Tebow.”

Tebow played for the Denver Broncos and New York Jets of the National Football League, and is known for openly proclaiming his Christian values.  He was born in the Philippines to missionary parents. He is 27 years old.

The Philippine Constitution sets the minimum age qualification for president and vice president at 40, but Pacquiao does not see it as a problem. “After my fight with Mayweather, I will go back to congress and seek to amend the constitution to reduce the minimum age qualification to 25 for both president and vice president,”  he said. Pacquiao himself would be underage at 36, unless the constitution is amended.

“As president and vice president, Tim and I will work to make the Philippines the number one country in the world in terms of boxers, football players and born-again Christians,” Pacquiao told us.

Like Tebow, Pacquiao is a devout Christian.

BUTUAN CITY, Philippines – Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has vowed to end corruption by abolishing Philippine Congress, and to increase the salaries of government employees, if he is elected president in 2016. Duterte is considered one of the strong contenders for president, although he has not  yet decided whether or not to run.

“If we will follow the presidential form of government, it will take us 40 to 50 years before we can achieve the needed reforms,” Duterte told guests during the Federalism Forum here last Thursday.

Reacting to Duterte’s statement, Vice President Jejomar Binay who is considered the frontrunner in the 2016 presidential race, countered by saying that if elected, he will abolish the Office of the President. Instead, Binay said he will establish a monarchy.

“I believe that the Royal form of government is the only answer to the country’s problems,” Binay said, adding that too much politics is the root of all corruption in the Philippines.

Binay said that a monarchy will also eliminate the need for future elections which are always tainted with fraud, since the head of the monarchy is always determined by ascendancy.

Imagine Malacañang, the presidential palace, occupied by Haring Jejomar (King Jejomar), Reyna Elenita (Queen Elenita), Prinsepe Junjun (Prince JunJun), Prinsesa Abigail (Princess Abigail) and Prinsesa Nancy (Princess Nancy).

So if you want a monarchy for the Philippines, vote for Binay in 2016!
