		<description>Is  Doc Bautista even a greencard holder?  I don&#039;t think he is (and therefore he is not even eligible to be a US citizen)  because I think he entered the US on a J-1 visa.  The rules for J-1 are very strict --- he has to go home for at least 2 years, and it looks like he has not done this &quot;residency requirement&quot; yet.   Even if he has 4 kids and 28 grandchildren,  he can&#039;t be greencard-holder without  meeting the &quot;residency-requirement&quot; of returning to his home-country for at leats 2 years.   &quot;Amnesties&quot; (like being discussed now in the US)  does not even release J1 holders from the 2-year residency requirement.</description>

		<description>john,

doc martin answered you na...excerpt here:

...As a Senatorial candidate, I would like to respectfully ask Mrs. Arroyo if she contacted Garcillano and if that contact resulted in Garcillano stealing even one vote. If she says she did not contact Garcillano, case closed. If she admits to having called Garcillano in 2004 and one vote was added to her tally, she must resign immediately and call for snap elections to coincide with the May 14 polls. We cannot afford to have an illegitimate President who tampered with the one sacred duty we must all perform...&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>It was very unfortunate that I never had the chance to meet Doc Bautista during PMAO&#039;s conferences, nor during Bedlams (Cowboys vs Sooners)nor in Bricktown festivities. Maybe he was really very  dedicated to  his patients in the panhandle, he rarely visited the heartland of OK. Without meeting him personally, I was hesitant to endorse his candidacy to my friends and siblings. However, after reading just a few posts in his personal blog, and read some of the articles about him, I came to realized that he really is an excellent candidate for the Senate. He came back to the Philippines with just one important reason...to help in improving the sorry state of our country.

Just like the Okie who exposed the bridge to nowhere in Alaska, this Filipino-Okie may try to expose the hundreds if not thousands of invisible bridges, roads and other infrastratures in RP. He will surely spearhead healthcare reforms, and maybe start on pro -active tort reforms. Maybe one major thing in his mind is the true abolition of pork barrel. I think he is honest, sincere and a true crusader of good government. I will vote for him, if I got the chance. I hope most Filipinos will do too.</description>

		<description>john&#039;s post on citizenship which The Ca t quoted above has been deleted.

citizenship is a technicality worth looking into?

...even in the case of a Robredo?

&lt;blockquote&gt;In a bizarre twist, Naga City Mayor Jesse Robredo, recipient of the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay Award for Public Service in 2000, is running for reelection, and his wife Leny, a lawyer, is also seeking the same post.

He is a candidate of the Liberal Party (Roxas/Drilon Wing), and she, of the Aksyon Demokratiko. They are running against Jojo Villafuerte of the powerful political clan in Camarines Sur.

Mayor Robredo told the Inquirer that the move was a strategy to ensure that the peopleÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s choice would win over that of the Commission on Elections.

He said it was also on the advice of his lawyers that he and his wife decided to field her in the race, in view of a petition for his disqualification filed at the Comelec office in Manila.

The petition questioning his Filipino citizenship is the fourth, said the mayor, whose parents are of pure Chinese descent. The previous petitions were lodged in 1992, 2001 and 2004.

The mayor said the Supreme Court ruled in his favor in 2001, and the Comelec did not bother to entertain the petitioners in 2004.

He said influential persons appeared to be behind the petition for his disqualification.

With Leny Robredo running, the votes for Ã¢â‚¬Å“RobredoÃ¢â‚¬Â will not come to naught if the petition is upheld this time, the mayor said.

Jesse Robredo was elected mayor of Naga in 1989 and completed his third term in 1998.

After taking leave from politics for three years, he was again elected mayor in 2004.
