In a conference call with fund-raisers and donors to his campaign, Mr. Read More …
PerryScope By Perry Diaz Once again, the Filipino-American vote did not show on the radar screen during the recent presidential election. Yes, unlike in past presidential elections, the Fil-Am vote was virtually invisible this year. There were no organized national efforts from the Fil-Am Democrats and Republicans. And if there were, I didn’t see them. In a survey conducted by the National Asian American Survey Read More …
