Poll Fever

If you missed PF's webinar "Indipinos in Bainbridge Island" last week, here's the recording. Unfortunately, because of copyright issues, this recording has only the trailer (not the full version) of Gina Corpuz's excellent documentary which was shown during the webinar. You can however purchase a copy of the DVD. See details here. https://indipinocommunityofbainbridgeisland.org/

As the Philippines gallops toward the official beginning of the 2022 election campaign (yes, it hasn't actually started despite plenty of evidence to the contrary), here's another eye-opener from former COMELEC chair Andres D. Bautista. This time the now-regular PF contributor unpacks what it takes to mount a successful presidential campaign. 

Judge Patrick Joseph Bumatay of the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Diego is Fil-Am, Republican (a Trump appointee) and openly gay. But it is his jurisprudence and his judicial philosophy that make him a person to watch in the years to come, as PF Correspondent Anthony Maddela reveals.

Her contemporaries in UP will remember her as the reed-thin, willowy model on campus in the late '60s. But Gloria Taccad, now famously known as Dexter Doria, has come a long way with her acting career, winning three Best Supporting Actress awards just in the last three months. Now she reinvents herself on social media as Nana Didi, a public school teacher, on a crusade to combat fake news and tell the truth (throughly researched and data-based) about the myths being circulated in this election season. We're borrowing her high school classmate Mila A. Garcia's piece from The Philippine Reporter in Toronto for some DD background. You can also watch Nana Didi's first three episodes here.
