Yes, Atty. Ben Maynigo, you said it right. Many Filipino-American leaders do not understand that in politics, it is not only enough to deliver the votes but also the campaign donations to the Political Action Committees (PACs) of American politicians.
Unfortunately there are no organized PACs in the Philippines. Many of the Filipino politicians just pocket campaign contributions.
But this article can begin the real "reinvention" of Philippine politics and the participation of US-based Filipinos in American and Philippine elections.
Good reading and good luck,

Add that to coalition building with other minorities such as the Hispanics with whom we share cultural heritage, the Blacks, other Asians and the Native Americans who now claim to have come from Asia. From actual registration of voters and larger amounts of financial contributions to the delivery of electoral victories to our chosen candidates, the reality of Filipino strength would be unquestioned. The delivery of goods and services benefitting our constituencies would further reinforce both the perception and reality.
I look forward to working with people like you in this endeavor.
Best regards,
Ben
