SO YOU APPARENTLY REALLY CAN'T HAVE O.V. WITHOUT COVID. OR FOR THAT MATTER V.A.R.

Y'all will recall that I got COVID last April just as our Overseas Voting was kicking off.  What I failed to mention then was that also kicking off was our World Cup-bound Women's National Football Team's training/friendlies in Sydney which I of course had to miss for everyone's health and well-being and all

reports from the field suggest the team indeed stayed fit

Fast forward to this month, and I just complete the latest regional OV training and help get the Consulate ready for the launch of the new Voter Registration campaign and, hey, look at that the Filipinas are also back in Sydney for some more training and friendlies I can't wait to see them in pers-

not the brace of positive results I was hoping for

Ok, so I have to miss out on the start of OV and the National Team's matches because of COVID again, but if that means the Filipinas will score as many goals as new voters registered, I will gladly take two for the team

in football, as in life and voter registration, the key is to score early and often
