Poorly sourced WP:BLP of a person notable only at the municipal level of political office. Daly City is not a large enough city to hand its city councillors an automatic pass of WP:NPOL #2, and it's a council-manager city where the mayors are selected on a yearly rotation among the city council, not elected by the general public, thereby serving as ceremonial rather than executive mayors and thus not getting an automatic WP:NPOL #2 pass either. But the article is not sourced anywhere near well enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu: the article is far too dependent on primary sources, and there aren't enough reliable ones to deem him notable.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete per nominator: fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. SportingFlyer  talk  02:16, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete- clearly does not pass WP:NPOL. I almost changed my mind on him because of his role as a television host, but after reading more about the network he works for, I've come to the conclusion that it has such low viewership that it doesn't matter.--Rusf10 (talk) 00:20, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Due to serious discussion of this Filipino-American politician in the scholarly literature. I added material from Barbara Mercedes (1999), The Filipino Americans. Greenwood Publishing. p. 91.  to the article,  but there is more in a far more detailed discussion about his career and campaign strategy (appealing to voters on the issues, not as a member-of-an-ethnic-group.  Electoral Politics in Daly City, begins on page 68 of Pinoy Capital: The Filipino Nation in Daly City,  Benito Vergara, Temple University Press, 2009.  Also: Growing Up Brown: Memoirs of a Filipino American, Peter M. Jamero, Sr., University of Washington Press, 2011, beginning on p. 309.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:36, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per the new references by E.M.Gregory. --RAN (talk) 14:32, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - These have to be added, but he has press on both sides of the Pacific. The Philippine Daily Inquirer (Fil-Am Mike Guingona in tough battle for San Mateo County seat) and The Philippine Star (Ex-Mayor finds new calling) are national publications, in addition to his positions in Daly City and San Mateo County government.
