Earlier, when we blogged about a video documentary on Igorot soldiers during World War II, we wondered why the producers were giving special mention to Benguet. We denied being nitpicky then but maybe we actually were. (But we also had a point, he he.) Well, this is what we said:
Not to be nitpicky but what’s up with Benguet being specially mentioned? I’m sure there’s a reason but the video didn’t clarify. Did the then sub-province have more soldiers in this particular infantry regiment? Or is the video specifically directed to a Benguet audience?
In case you are looking for the list of candidates in Mt. Province, here it is. Unfortunately, this list does not include those who are running for the provincial board or for the municipal council. This list is courtesy of Juliet Saley of the Philippine Information Agency in Bontoc. We hope to publish a similar list for the other provinces if we come across them in the future.
Provincial Positions Congressional race: Carlito Afadchay (Independent) Jupiter Dominguez (Independent) Victor Dominguez (KAMPI) Efren Joseph Lingwa (Independent) Sario Malinias (Liberal Party) Arnulfo Pilando (Partido Liberal) Francisco Siblawan (Independent)
Last 18 April, Baguio Options conducted a mock poll on the various electoral races in Baguio City. Before we give you the results, we first want to caution everyone that the mock poll is not a random survey and, therefore, we should not draw any general conclusion from the results.
In other words, the results are not representative of the will of Baguio’s voters. It only represents the electoral preferences of the 135 registered voters who participated in the mock poll.
Our friends from the left will be celebrating Cordillera Day in Baguio City on 23-24 April.

[You may want to read our brief posts about Dulag here and here.]
