No need for VISA if you are born here in USA 🇺🇸. Kasi nga by birth sya. Nothing to contest. May birth certificate sya on record dito sa US. He can come anytime he wants. Swerte nya. 😊
alma moreno's interview brought me here...and i couldn't avoid not to compare the two, manzano and moreno. manzano quoted, "you have to ask hard questions for you to know if the individual has the qualifications to be a member of the philippine senate" these words might not be the exact ones but i agree with him...compared to moreno's statement..more on laughing whenever she's having a hard time to understand the question/s and explain her answer right away..
what a gentleman, very intelligent, so charismatic... But all that is not enough to run for office. I like him alot, but I want more for someone to hold office...
the perfect one to served the country is a person with higher education, honest, and serious about serving the people , a good leader so he will have a good followers. If you are a bad leader, you don't have a good followers!
Edu was the training coach in La Salle school during his teenage days.. Edu is a Filipino being born in America doesnt make you american by blood.. He is a filipino spanish by blood.. he spend his childhood to adulthood days here in the phils..
Edu has more credentials in his sleeves.. like being a host in his own talk show and he was once pitted against a famous goodlooking TV reporter host i forgot his name also very eloquent and smart.. and they were literally debating in Edu's talkshow then... so happen Edu has the looks and launch him into showbiz but if not ..he would have been an excellent TV reporter anchorman...ofcourse needless to say, we are aware that most of the anchorman and women became senate nowadays.. GO EDU..
"You have to ask the hard questions.. (to) determine if the individual has the qualifications necessary to be a member of the Philippine senate." Thank you Edu Manzano
+Nicole Balaoing ...bakit hard questions....... hindi ba dapat ay right questions ...to determine if the candidate is knowledgeable and qualified to be a member of the senate?
pancit bihon,somehow I can't reply under your post,but I'd like to point out that Mr Manzano mentioned that he acquired the US citizenship not by choice but by birth,his parents happened to be studying there when he was born,and he said taht by US law,anyone who is born there even when parents are just on vacation,is automatically a US citizen.But he is also a filipino citizen,which means kahit manumpa pa sya sa ilalim ng alinmang batas ng Pilipinas eh ok lang dahil filipino citizen din sya.I think the law that you stated is for those who has only a US citizenship,his case is different.He did not apply for it even.He has both citizenship,Philippine by blood and Amercan by birth.Would be unfair for him to give up one of those,just because he wants to serve in his motherland.
Magaling.. galing rin ako sa interview ni Alma.. pero iba sumagot itong si Edu. Good! Hindi naman masamang bumoto ng dating artista. Hindi purket artista ka dati wala ka ng magagawa sa pulitika.
napadaming hipokrito na kunyari mkabayan.. this man chooses to be a filipino to serve the filipino.. he has proven himself in public service and probably mas sincere at matalino pa s mga naunang binoto natin na full pledge filipino.. give him a chance.. public service is not about blood but by heart.. u can be a filipino but has little concern of ur land at ninanakawan pa.. mas matimbang b tlga ang dugo s politika?
Hindi naman sa pagiging dual citizenship nasusukat kung mabuti kang mamayan ng bansa,, hndi siya ipokrito,, why renounce kng ung iba nga nagpapakahirap kumuha
if people here are complaining about the incapabilities of these people to run then who would be the perfect one to serve the country? I must be honest that most Filipinos intend to complain but has nothing to do good for their own lives.
+JUST JAPE Most filipinos are fucking busy working u fucktard, we have the fucking right to complain=, other filipinos have other ambitions like doing graphics or any profession, and we fcking vote for this people to help us get there, and we gave tax, so we have the right you fuck shit
+Nurhakim salim Naiintindihan ko ang punto mo pero you didnt understand the point of this young man here. Read it again and have a deep thought bout it. May point sya :)
Jeany Beans naiintindihan ko un, parang ung sinabe lng ni JFK yan dte, ask not what your country can do for you, but what can you do for your country, para skin FUCK that, tama na tlga toh.
Nurhakim salim Well, naiintindihan kita. Pagod ka narin like most of us Filipinos were. Pero sa tingin ko, kailan man ay walang magagawa sayo ang bayan mo kung hind mo naman ito ginawan ng mabuti. Kung halos lahat naman ng Pilipino ay nababayaran ang boto, naloloko ng tv ads, nasusulsulan kung sino ang dapat ihalal na mga opisyal, eh wala talaga magagawa para sayo ang bayan. Kaya wala may karapatan magreklamo kasi in the first place, tayo ang naglagay sa kanila dun. Kung may maling nangyayari, its not always just one party who was at fault. Parehas na panig ang may mali. And another thing, life is always unfair. You cant do anything bout it. :)
Edu, you better check this out, man.....if you have served in any political division of the Philippines which required you taking an oath of allegiance to the Philippines, you MAY ALREADY HAVE lost your US citizenship: Section 349 of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1481), as amended, states that U.S. nationals are subject to loss of nationality if they perform certain specified acts voluntarily and with the intention to relinquish U.S. nationality. 2. taking an oath, affirmation or other formal declaration of allegiance to a foreign state OR ITS POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS AFTER THE AGE OF I8 (bolding and emphasis, mine) (Sec. 349 (a) (2) INA); 4. accepting employment with a foreign government after the age of 18 if (a) one has the nationality of that foreign state or (b) AN OATH OR DECLARATION OF ALLEGIANCE IS REQUIRED IN ACCEPTING THE POSITION (bolding mine) (Sec. 349 (a) (4) INA); Bottom line: you can't have your cake and eat it, too.....you either choose one or the other, instead of trying to enjoy the benefits of both.
A person can enjoy dual citizenship if he/she was born abroad (which recognizes jus soli) and one of his parents is a filipino citizen at the time of his/her birth

If you run for public office, you have to officially renounce your US citizenship. You cannot have a dual citizenship like ordinary Filipinos while being an elected public official, thats the law. It’s not enough that you tore your US passport in public. So if you remain a dual citizen, you would still be liable to be disqualified if you run again for public office in the future. Thats what Sen. Grace Po did before running for Senator.
They have different situations.. Grace Poe applied for citizenship and she is foundling that's why she need to denounce it but Edu is different, he is natural born US citizen.
Mag aral ka ng Philippine constitution at nang malaman mo na naipasa na sa Pinas na pwede ang dual citizenship. Batas na sa Pinas yon. Marunong ka pa sa batas.
I like to vote for him, but I am concern about his dual nationality. He has the right to run for office in the Philippines but he has to drop the US citizenship, but I guess he should talk first to Drilon about this problem.
There is nothing wrong with that, since English is our second language. We have English subject in school and most of the subjects are being taught in English so we have the choice what language we should speak.
Carlto Romano Wala sa lugar ang argument mo. Si Edu dapat naman nag Tagalog ng kahit konti. Ikaw na rin ang nagsabi na second language natin ang Igles pero dito sa interview na ito, Ingles ang first language, (95% Ingles ang salita) - ni Edu habang pinapaliwanag niya na ang loyalty niya ay sa Pilipinas at hindi niya kagustuhan na maging American citizen. Gusto pang maglingkod sa masa pero napaka sosyal naman nitong unggok na to.
@@bella4644 dun sya komportable e. ngengelam ka. He's fluent naman both english and tagalog. so nasusukat sa pagiging makabayan kung english ginamit nia? 😂
I dont believe it was not his choice to become a US citizen. When he reached 18 years old, he had the choice not to accept US citizenship but he obviously did! He wants to hold dual citizenship for the sake of convenience! He should renounce his US citizenship if he is really sincere in serving the Philippine government as senator.
I am sorry. But renouncing one's other citizenship can't really be a yardstick of one's love for his country. I was kind of disappointed he tore his US passport, it made him seem like he's pandering, I would have preferred him shut the haters with his platform.
It’s not accurate to say that he’s American only by birth because the Philippine government recognizes him as a Filipino citizen by birth since both of his parents are Filipinos at the time of his birth.
Just for the sake of convenience he holds a dual citizenship!! Dapat hinahayaan mga ito na kumandidato he should renounce his US citizenship first asan ang loyalty mo?
Diyan lang yata sa Pilipinas uso na ang mga artista joining the Politics, without any capabilities to show. Kaya walang asenso ang PI. Pati sa politiko, magaling umarte!
marami rin nmn po khit sa ibang bansa kaya yung ibang mga tao porke sikat eh ibinoboto na agad nila kahit walang sapat na ability.but to be honest edu manzano has a bright mind he is able to be a politician
We only have to ask ourselves, is a dual citizen allowed to run for office? If so, then he should run. If not, then he should not be allowed period. If you don't like it change the law!
I am sorry. But denouncing one's other citizenship can't really be a yardstick of one's love for his country. Why denounce it when tons of people would kill to step on a US soil? (not that I'm one of them, I prefer SK or Japan or Au 😂) If anything I was kind of disappointed he tore his US passport, it made him seem like he's pandering, I would have preferred him shut the haters with his platform.
Tearing your US passport does not mean nothing on the eyes of US. You can apply again to get one but still you are recognized as American whether naturalized or by birth
OMG, am I the only one cringing here thinking that Karen doesnt know that much on the basics on how to acquire US Citizenship or the dual citizenship? Edu is truly smart enough to explain it to her. And he's right. Even if you tear/destroy your US passport apart, it doesnt matter and you will still remain as a US citizen because you had your US social, licenses and birth records. The only way for you to remove your US Citizenship is by renouncing it. And to think Karen is tagged as a smart journalist (sigh), she sounded so shallow and dull here. Didn't she learn that on Political Science 1? Smh
Common Edu you’re trying to play safe. Even by birth you can renounce your US citizenship formally before you reached a certain age in the US immigration. YOU HAVE a choice.
I am pinoy by birth and now a Canadian citizen. The way I understand dual citizenship is when you are in the Philippines and something happen to you there, the Philippine authority has the responsibility to help you. The truth, I would rather have the Canadian authority help me. I am scared of the corruptions in the Philippines. Pagpasok pa Lang nang airport feel mo na. Sorry to be realistic.
+Jeany Beans It's always about financial security. This is how "bobo" the majority of voters in the Philippines and sad to say they dominate the entire country.
Edu is very smart, compared to a lot of candidates like Bong, Jinggoy etc, he knows what he talks, and deserves to have a seat in the government like Mayor in Makati, God bless and good riddance..🙏🙏🇵🇭
It's sound like he is not interested in American citizenship but in fact, it was his choice to have an American Passport. By tearing off his American Passport in front of the public is another show in politics. Ini-uto lang tayong mga pilipinong votante. He knows He can get an American Passport anytime He wants. It is unfair to other candidates because He could easily get out in our country if he has a case. against him.
actually, dito sa States questioned iyang jus soli principle na iyan, because some constitutional scholars here in the States maintain that the law applied only to the Negroes (the language of that time), and some say that the law applies to every person born in the country (USA) of foreign parents. Masalimuot iyang isyu na iyan dito. Ginagamit iyan ng mga illegal aliens dito, lalo na iyong mga tumatawid sa ilog (Rio Grande) mula Mexico tungong Texas, USA, o sa mga disyerto tagos sa Arizona at New Mexico, maging sa Texas. Ngayon, sa Texas naman, may mga lugar na ang mga Mexicano ay nagtratrabaho bilang mga magsasaka o katulong sa mga American households sa umaga at tumatawid naman pauwi sa gabi, at ang iba ay sinasadyang manganak dito para sa ganoon ay US citizens nga ang mga anak nila. Anchor babies ang tawag sa mga bata.
Tanga mo di totoo yung iba n na lahat natawid para manganak, karamihan mga turista ..stop watching Fox News tsk tsk they already distorted your brain away from the facts...anchor babies my ass, republican ka siguro..gunggong
Walang anchor babies tanga,nag start yan sa pananakot ng hard line tea party na pina laganap sa fox news to create fear mule sa grassroots republicans..
how can you get away with it being an american citizen and living in the philippines, we paid so much for overstaying in the phils because we are not filipino citizen but filipino by blood...please give me your contact mr manzano. that is not fair!!!!!
+Penny Galvez If you are filipino by blood and do not have filipino citizenship, you need to go in and apply for your filipino citizenship. Philippines do allow dual citizenships since 2003.
+Penny Galvez I am a dual citizen, the govt of the Philippine didn't ask me to send money in the Philippines. I have send vast money in the Philippines, I have help the Philippine economy more than you in terms of money, who are you to say we could not live in the Philippiness.
Sa sarili lang magaling yan kasi may issue kaya nagready yan ng depensa dahil kakamdidato.Isa na namang artista taking advantage maging pulitiko,ano naman kaya gagawin pag nanalo?Kailangan pa bang sabihin pinunit ang US passport sa harap ng tao?Sige punuin natin ng mga artista gob.,ng malaman ng iba kung papaano tayo niloloko.
Edu, paikot-ikot ka pa. You can always give up your US citizenship. It's called renunciation of US citizenship. You want to be a Filipino senator but enjoy dual citizenship. Also, whatever happened to your face? Nagpa-banat ka ba near your eyes?
Yep, i do agree with you. Simple simple ng problema niya di nya magawan ng solusyon. He can always just give up either of his Filipino or America Citizeship.
+sunflowersarles Of course a passport is proof of citizenship!! Destroying his passport does not prove anything because such act does not change the fact that he is still a US citizen, If he chooses to be a full-fledged filipino, then he can simply give up his american citizenship. If his only reason to keep his american citizenship is so that he can travel to the US, then he can apply for a US Visa as a filipino. I'm sure the US embassy will be more than happy to grant a visa to a celebrity like him.
putcha naman mag american citizen Kayo. tapos uwi pa kayo dito . Edo. I like you ok ka make people happy na Lang the best ka talaga dyan. ma'am grace poe to for it. go 2016. bigla ako na walang gana kay duterte. idil KO pa naman. sir, ganyan ba nag SJ educated.
It doesn't matter kahit punitin mo man o hinde, mag expired din naman! what the hek! puro kayo magaling sa salita pero sagawa! ewan ko ba, kung sisino nalang ang mga tumatakbong mayor, kapitan na mga wala namang mga good qualification to be a Mayor or Kapitan. that's why, when crisis come , they don't know what to do!
dati di ako natutuwa kay alma dun sa interview nya pero nung napanood ko to nabaling kay karen davila ang pagkadismaya ko!! putakte sabi nya ginagawa nya lang ang trabaho nya oo cge andun na tau pero napaka bias tlaga...! sabi nya galing mo magpaliwanag tama yan! hahahaha my goodness bakit mo kailangan magpakita ng pagsangayon eh gamit ang mga salitang yun?? eh diba nga ginagawa mo ang trabaho mo na magtanong ng mga difficult questions para maslalong makilala ng mga botante ang nga kandidato at mpara makapili sila ng mga karapatdapat at hindi para mameet lang ung qualifications ng mga kandidatong gusto mo lang??hahaaha kaya bakit umaagree ka na agad sa kanya kung gusto mo sya offcam na lang sana.. halatado ka ms karen!?? hahaha crush mo lang ata si papa edu eh!! hahahah
mali ka ineng hnd yan umaagree . sa interview na yan mkkita mong hnd karapat dapat yang alma na yan dahil sa mga tanong ni karen pasalamat ka pa nga kay karen dahil mkkita ntin sa inteview na to na walang mangyyre pag si alma ang nanalo bilang senador
im not a fan nor a supporter of ms alma neither of mr edu... ang opinyon ko po dito ay in walang kinalaman sa dalawang tumatakbo bilang senador kindi sa ipinakita ni ms davila na reaksyon sa magkaibang tao na ininterbyu nya. napaka bias nya kasi base sa kanyang mga reaksyon yun lang po un
90’s palang gusto na nya tumakbo. May eksena pa yan sa media na pinunit passport nya. At dineny nyang us citizen sya. Ngayun di na pedeng ideny na us citizen sya. Biglang sasabihin makapilipino sya.
You are a fool sir, tearing an American passport is considered an unpatriotic to our beloved Country U.S.or your country of Birth.If you can't be loyal to United of America why don't you consider giving up your U.S. citizenship on which every American Citizenship has a choice, just don't use the U.S. passport for political reason or for your own political agenda.
He can renounce his American citizenship if he really want to be a Filipino, but the fact that he has not, it means that he (Edu) have a back up plan in case he decided to stay in the U.S. Edu is not telling everything. Now, Edu I dare you to renounce your American citizenship, in this case the Americans will not issue you an American passport anymore. I think you are lying since you are not telling everything. Or you can just tell the Filipinos that you still want to be an American and Filipino at the same time (you choice to have dual citizenship), Just tell us the truth that you still very much want to remain an American citizen.. You are manipulating the minds of the Filipinos by pretending that you don't want to an American anymore. (Lying? maybe)
King J yes if child is born in US and automatic the child is US citizen.. my son is born in Philippines 2001 his father is American , he’s US citizen even my child is born in Philippines but when we leave my country Philippines he has 2 passport US passport and Philippines passport, but when we’re In the airport immigration they stamp or use his US passport ..so technically my son is Dual until he reach 18. Then he can decide which 1 he wants to keep..or he can keep it both .
This is bullshit. Me as a Filipino wont allow an American Citizen to be part of our National Government. Only people who truly loved our mother country can understand why.
He is so smart! He explain his self well!
Edu manzano is a revelation to me. He is a smart ass dude! Great interview!
Edu Manzano knows what his talking about. He earned my vote here. Talino mo Edu!
No need for VISA if you are born here in USA 🇺🇸. Kasi nga by birth sya. Nothing to contest. May birth certificate sya on record dito sa US. He can come anytime he wants. Swerte nya. 😊
Let us vote for Edu, he is honest, intelligent and public servant.
I was born in Makati. I am a naturalized American citizen. I am proud to be both.
Before, i was not fun with sir Edu,but hearing with this interview...IAm now...😊

He is a missile engineer before in the US military
need to watch this para di ako mabobo sa interview
what a gentleman, very intelligent, so charismatic... But all that is not enough to run for office. I like him alot, but I want more for someone to hold office...
the perfect one to served the country is a person with higher education, honest, and serious about serving the people , a good leader so he will have a good followers. If you are a bad leader, you don't have a good followers!
The problem is not the candidate, it's the ignorance of the many.
The Comelec is at fault. Allowing candidates who have another citizenship other than Filipino.

Edu, you better check this out, man.....if you have served in any political division of the Philippines which required you taking an oath of allegiance to the Philippines, you MAY ALREADY HAVE lost your US citizenship:
Section 349 of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1481), as amended, states that U.S. nationals are subject to loss of nationality if they perform certain specified acts voluntarily and with the intention to relinquish U.S. nationality.
2. taking an oath, affirmation or other formal declaration of allegiance to a foreign state OR ITS POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS AFTER THE AGE OF I8 (bolding and emphasis, mine) (Sec. 349 (a) (2) INA);
4. accepting employment with a foreign government after the age of 18 if (a) one has the nationality of that foreign state or (b) AN OATH OR DECLARATION OF ALLEGIANCE IS REQUIRED IN ACCEPTING THE POSITION (bolding mine) (Sec. 349 (a) (4) INA);
Bottom line: you can't have your cake and eat it, too.....you either choose one or the other, instead of trying to enjoy the benefits of both.

Nah 18yrs old kana dapat kailangan mong mamili..hindi pwede mgdual citizenship

so nasusukat sa pagiging makabayan kung english ginamit nia? 😂
Ganyan ang Pinas... tagalog English /TagLish 😀
I better choose Edu than... Revilla B.
I dont believe it was not his choice to become a US citizen. When he reached 18 years old, he had the choice not to accept US citizenship but he obviously did! He wants to hold dual citizenship for the sake of convenience! He should renounce his US citizenship if he is really sincere in serving the Philippine government as senator.
+AndresDeSaya tama ka dyan kabayan......lol.
true
He was born in the US. So totoong di niya pinili yun.
JG true, but he can always renounce his us citizenship if he truly loved the philippines
I am sorry. But renouncing one's other citizenship can't really be a yardstick of one's love for his country. I was kind of disappointed he tore his US passport, it made him seem like he's pandering, I would have preferred him shut the haters with his platform.
It’s not accurate to say that he’s American only by birth because the Philippine government recognizes him as a Filipino citizen by birth since both of his parents are Filipinos at the time of his birth.
Just for the sake of convenience he holds a dual citizenship!! Dapat hinahayaan mga ito na kumandidato he should renounce his US citizenship first asan ang loyalty mo?
Edu Manzano is another Anchor Baby!!!
Not fair ang pilipinas immigration law daming american citizen sa mga public officials madaya kayo!!! pag ordinary na tao pinagbabayad nyo ng malaki
Di ba trabaho ng Comelec na salain yung qualifications ng candidates?
I happy being american citizen
I am Filipina by birth , Belgian by choice. in Philippines ,if you are RICH your life is GOOD, if you are POOR your life is SHIT !!!
Diyan lang yata sa Pilipinas uso na ang mga artista joining the Politics, without any capabilities to show. Kaya walang asenso ang PI. Pati sa politiko, magaling umarte!
marami rin nmn po khit sa ibang bansa kaya yung ibang mga tao porke sikat eh ibinoboto na agad nila kahit walang sapat na ability.but to be honest edu manzano has a bright mind he is able to be a politician
Ronald Reagan and Arnold Swarzeneger are both celebrities who became politicians in the USA.
sana manalo si edu kasi magaling na siya sa Optical Board...napapatunayan na niya...
We only have to ask ourselves, is a dual citizen allowed to run for office? If so, then he should run. If not, then he should not be allowed period. If you don't like it change the law!
I am sorry. But denouncing one's other citizenship can't really be a yardstick of one's love for his country. Why denounce it when tons of people would kill to step on a US soil? (not that I'm one of them, I prefer SK or Japan or Au 😂) If anything I was kind of disappointed he tore his US passport, it made him seem like he's pandering, I would have preferred him shut the haters with his platform.
Tearing your US passport does not mean nothing on the eyes of US. You can apply again to get one but still you are recognized as American whether naturalized or by birth
OMG, am I the only one cringing here thinking that Karen doesnt know that much on the basics on how to acquire US Citizenship or the dual citizenship? Edu is truly smart enough to explain it to her. And he's right. Even if you tear/destroy your US passport apart, it doesnt matter and you will still remain as a US citizen because you had your US social, licenses and birth records. The only way for you to remove your US Citizenship is by renouncing it. And to think Karen is tagged as a smart journalist (sigh), she sounded so shallow and dull here. Didn't she learn that on Political Science 1? Smh
dual allegiance!
I didn't know that he's American.. I thought his Spanish..
Common Edu you’re trying to play safe. Even by birth you can renounce your US citizenship formally before you reached a certain age in the US immigration. YOU HAVE a choice.
He can't. He can't change his us birth cert. Lol
I am pinoy by birth and now a Canadian citizen. The way I understand dual citizenship is when you are in the Philippines and something happen to you there, the Philippine authority has the responsibility to help you. The truth, I would rather have the Canadian authority help me. I am scared of the corruptions in the Philippines. Pagpasok pa Lang nang airport feel mo na. Sorry to be realistic.
Er Ma Gerd! We have too many ARTISTA in politics.. Enough!
Lol. Show business people are now invading our political businesses. Well i guess, theyre on the same category.. all about BUSINESS.
+Jeany Beans It's always about financial security. This is how "bobo" the majority of voters in the Philippines and sad to say they dominate the entire country.
Arc Layer I didnt get your point. And who are you calling Bobo?
Read Miriam Santiago’s book “ STUPID IS FOREVER “ and STUPID PA MORE.
he doesn't look filipino at all, he looks more like a latino, from latin america
Edu is very smart, compared to a lot of candidates like Bong, Jinggoy etc, he knows what he talks, and deserves to have a seat in the government like Mayor in Makati, God bless and good riddance..🙏🙏🇵🇭
She has a very heavy accent.
Mr Edu, you can renounce your citizenship. Ano ka ba? Only by birth to be a President of The Philippines.
Better than Alma.
Citizenship, I think it's under Article III of The 1987 Consti if I'm not mistaken. Jus soli and jus sanguinis
seriously, Karen Davila? you sound like you have no idea how citizenship works!
It's sound like he is not interested in American citizenship but in fact, it was his choice to have an American Passport. By tearing off his American Passport in front of the public is another show in politics. Ini-uto lang tayong mga pilipinong votante. He knows He can get an American Passport anytime He wants. It is unfair to other candidates because He could easily get out in our country if he has a case. against him.
Ayoko sa dual citizenship nasaan ang loyalty mo? You must give up one citizenship if you want to be a public servant in the Philippines.
Taga dingli iloilo angkan nya
actually, dito sa States questioned iyang jus soli principle na iyan, because some constitutional scholars here in the States maintain that the law applied only to the Negroes (the language of that time), and some say that the law applies to every person born in the country (USA) of foreign parents. Masalimuot iyang isyu na iyan dito. Ginagamit iyan ng mga illegal aliens dito, lalo na iyong mga tumatawid sa ilog (Rio Grande) mula Mexico tungong Texas, USA, o sa mga disyerto tagos sa Arizona at New Mexico, maging sa Texas. Ngayon, sa Texas naman, may mga lugar na ang mga Mexicano ay nagtratrabaho bilang mga magsasaka o katulong sa mga American households sa umaga at tumatawid naman pauwi sa gabi, at ang iba ay sinasadyang manganak dito para sa ganoon ay US citizens nga ang mga anak nila. Anchor babies ang tawag sa mga bata.
Thanks for that info :)
Tanga mo di totoo yung iba n na lahat natawid para manganak, karamihan mga turista ..stop watching Fox News tsk tsk they already distorted your brain away from the facts...anchor babies my ass, republican ka siguro..gunggong
Walang anchor babies tanga,nag start yan sa pananakot ng hard line tea party na pina laganap sa fox news to create fear mule sa grassroots republicans..
millard loreto You can always say your opinion in a nice way. No need for the harsh words bae.
+Jeany Beans isa ka pang walang alam..
He's just like Bruce Lee. Born in SF to foreign parents.
how can you get away with it being an american citizen and living in the philippines, we paid so much for overstaying in the phils because we are not filipino citizen but filipino by blood...please give me your contact mr manzano. that is not fair!!!!!
+Penny Galvez If you are filipino by blood and do not have filipino citizenship, you need to go in and apply for your filipino citizenship. Philippines do allow dual citizenships since 2003.
you can have dual citizenship if one of your parents were still filipino citizens at the time of your birth.
+Penny Galvez I am a dual citizen, the govt of the Philippine didn't ask me to send money in the Philippines. I have send vast money in the Philippines, I have help the Philippine economy more than you in terms of money, who are you to say we could not live in the Philippiness.
we were not ask to send money we paid before we can leave the country.
If you don’t wanna pay, just apply for a Filipino citizenship.
CHERRIE PIE, YOU DON’T HAVE TO ENDURE THE ABUSE OF EDU MANZANO. WHO IS HE? ANONG PINAGMAMALAKI NIYA! LEAVE HIM RIGHT AWAY!
Sa sarili lang magaling yan kasi may issue kaya nagready yan ng depensa dahil kakamdidato.Isa na namang artista taking advantage maging pulitiko,ano naman kaya gagawin pag nanalo?Kailangan pa bang sabihin pinunit ang US passport sa harap ng tao?Sige punuin natin ng mga artista gob.,ng malaman ng iba kung papaano tayo niloloko.
I like to read Miriam Santiago ‘s books,
gabby lopez
Kunwari pa pinunit yung american passport e di bakit hindi mu na lang irenounce American citizenship mu?
Edu, paikot-ikot ka pa. You can always give up your US citizenship. It's called renunciation of US citizenship. You want to be a Filipino senator but enjoy dual citizenship. Also, whatever happened to your face? Nagpa-banat ka ba near your eyes?
Yep, i do agree with you. Simple simple ng problema niya di nya magawan ng solusyon. He can always just give up either of his Filipino or America Citizeship.
+sunflowersarles Of course a passport is proof of citizenship!! Destroying his passport does not prove anything because such act does not change the fact that he is still a US citizen, If he chooses to be a full-fledged filipino, then he can simply give up his american citizenship. If his only reason to keep his american citizenship is so that he can travel to the US, then he can apply for a US Visa as a filipino. I'm sure the US embassy will be more than happy to grant a visa to a celebrity like him.
+sunflowersarles In other words, agree ako sa iyo sunflowersarles :)
+sunflowersarles LOL! so true!
Renpuncing is only applicable to naturalized us citizen. Edu is natural born citizen.
wow karin na gagalingan ka sa paliwanag ni edu pero kay manny pacquio halos ayaw mo tangapin ang kanya sinabe nag aaral sya wala ka talaga manners
Umm
putcha naman mag american citizen Kayo. tapos uwi pa kayo dito . Edo. I like you ok ka make people happy na Lang the best ka talaga dyan. ma'am grace poe to for it. go 2016. bigla ako na walang gana kay duterte. idil KO pa naman. sir, ganyan ba nag SJ educated.
It doesn't matter kahit punitin mo man o hinde, mag expired din naman! what the hek! puro kayo magaling sa salita pero sagawa! ewan ko ba, kung sisino nalang ang mga tumatakbong mayor, kapitan na mga wala namang mga good qualification to be a Mayor or Kapitan. that's why, when crisis come , they don't know what to do!
Dito ka kasi sa Pinas kumikita sa Amerika istambay ka lang
dati di ako natutuwa kay alma dun sa interview nya pero nung napanood ko to nabaling kay karen davila ang pagkadismaya ko!! putakte sabi nya ginagawa nya lang ang trabaho nya oo cge andun na tau pero napaka bias tlaga...! sabi nya galing mo magpaliwanag tama yan! hahahaha my goodness bakit mo kailangan magpakita ng pagsangayon eh gamit ang mga salitang yun?? eh diba nga ginagawa mo ang trabaho mo na magtanong ng mga difficult questions para maslalong makilala ng mga botante ang nga kandidato at mpara makapili sila ng mga karapatdapat at hindi para mameet lang ung qualifications ng mga kandidatong gusto mo lang??hahaaha kaya bakit umaagree ka na agad sa kanya kung gusto mo sya offcam na lang sana.. halatado ka ms karen!?? hahaha crush mo lang ata si papa edu eh!! hahahah
mali ka ineng hnd yan umaagree . sa interview na yan mkkita mong hnd karapat dapat yang alma na yan dahil sa mga tanong ni karen pasalamat ka pa nga kay karen dahil mkkita ntin sa inteview na to na walang mangyyre pag si alma ang nanalo bilang senador
im not a fan nor a supporter of ms alma neither of mr edu... ang opinyon ko po dito ay in walang kinalaman sa dalawang tumatakbo bilang senador kindi sa ipinakita ni ms davila na reaksyon sa magkaibang tao na ininterbyu nya. napaka bias nya kasi base sa kanyang mga reaksyon yun lang po un
napaka bias!
K.
90’s palang gusto na nya tumakbo. May eksena pa yan sa media na pinunit passport nya. At dineny nyang us citizen sya. Ngayun di na pedeng ideny na us citizen sya. Biglang sasabihin makapilipino sya.
Watch the whole video and listen carefully first before making assumptions.
You are a fool sir, tearing an American passport is considered an unpatriotic to our beloved Country U.S.or your country of Birth.If you can't be loyal to United of America why don't you consider giving up your U.S. citizenship on which every American Citizenship has a choice, just don't use the U.S. passport for political reason or for your own political agenda.
He can renounce his American citizenship if he really want to be a Filipino, but the fact that he has not, it means that he (Edu) have a back up plan in case he decided to stay in the U.S. Edu is not telling everything. Now, Edu I dare you to renounce your American citizenship, in this case the Americans will not issue you an American passport anymore. I think you are lying since you are not telling everything. Or you can just tell the Filipinos that you still want to be an American and Filipino at the same time (you choice to have dual citizenship), Just tell us the truth that you still very much want to remain an American citizen.. You are manipulating the minds of the Filipinos by pretending that you don't want to an American anymore. (Lying? maybe)
Lol not by choice smh what r u talking about bruh if u born n us u automatic us citizen! !
King J yes if child is born in US and automatic the child is US citizen.. my son is born in Philippines 2001 his father is American , he’s US citizen even my child is born in Philippines but when we leave my country Philippines he has 2 passport US passport and Philippines passport, but when we’re In the airport immigration they stamp or use his US passport ..so technically my son is Dual until he reach 18. Then he can decide which 1 he wants to keep..or he can keep it both .
Hi yes I understand that I myself half to I was born in Clark air base! But this guy talking about he is us citizen not by choice !
not by choice naman talaga! Choice ba niya na sa US sya pinanganak, kaya automatic sya ba US Citizen...
Excellent choice What are you gonna do in the states anyway? Unless yu have a career in Hollywood
edu manzano is gay like luis manzano. ex niya un namatay na artista na namatay na si miguel rodriguez.
Weh?
This is bullshit. Me as a Filipino wont allow an American Citizen to be part of our National Government. Only people who truly loved our mother country can understand why.
american citizen ka du if im correct
bble taxs ka kasi si american naghabol ng tax
Hindi naman importante kung Dual Citizen ka eh. kaysa naman sa Ibang pulitiko na tatakbo sa pagka presidente na ugaling Dayuhan.. asawa ng Reporter
that guy is full of crap..
Escapes me that batos in there and this guy isn't ffs
Karen😠😠😠😠😠
