It was another explosive Forbidden Questions today on Good Times with Mo! Senatorial candidate and political advisor of the show, Adel Tamano, walked in the studio and we grilled him good. One thing we all have grown to love about Adel is that he is the most honest opinionated political figure that graces our program. Adel tells it how it is, so when we asked him about his personal life, sex life, and thoughts about politicians--he brought out the thunder. Here is the recording of the entire FQ segment, I have yet to write the transcript but if anyone is willing to do it for me and email it to goodtimeswithmo@yahoo.com, I'd appreciate it.

Adel is passionate about education. If elected, he said he would dedicate his work to make sure that all Filipinos receive a quality education and more specifically, a FREE college education for the poor. He has a stellar resume and as young leader, would be a solid addition for a new Philippine Senate. Click here to visit his website. Follow Adel on Twitter by adding him here.

“Good to know that the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has come to their senses.”

This was Nacionalista Party senatorial candidate and spokesperson Atty. Adel Tamano’s statement with regard to the latest move of the COMELEC to enlist the help of celebrities for its voter education campaign.

Earlier this month, the COMELEC hinted that celebrities endorsing political candidates should either go on leave or resign. Tamano lambasted the COMELEC’s move saying that celebrities are covered by the same rights to express their opinions and support candidates that they like.

“I’m glad that instead of irking the entertainment world, the COMELEC now has plans of forging an alliance. The COMELEC should remember that celebrity endorsers serve an important purpose for lesser known candidates like myself by acting as the bridge to introduce a worthy but less known candidate. Similarly, our celebrity friends can also act as the bridge to promote voters’ education,” Tamano said.

Tamano cited celebrities like Ogie Alcasid and Robin Padilla who can really help spread information on the processes involved in the automated balloting.

“Ogie and Robin have undeniable star power and they can use that power to help educate the Filipino voters,” Tamano underscored.

Tamano garnered the endorsements of Alcasid and Padilla.

In his TVC endorsement, Alcasid said that he’s confident with Tamano’s qualifications as a lawyer, Harvard graduate, university president and Muslim-Mindanaoan. The popular Filipino actor-singer emphasized that he trusts Tamano and that he believes Tamano can bring brain power to the Senate.

Padilla, on the other hand, has expressed his strong support for Tamano. Padilla said that it’s high time that someone from Muslim Mindanao should be back in the Senate. Tamano is the first ever Filipino Muslim to graduate from Harvard Law School.
