Presidential campaign season kicked off Tuesday in the Philippines, where movie star Fernando Poe Jr. leads polls at the moment.
Poe, or "FPJ" -- as he's commonly known -- is capitalizing on overall disgruntlement over the administration of current president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Poe has never held public office, but his popularity as a film action hero appears to make him the shoo-in.
An semi-unpopular incumbent? An action star with no political experience in the running? Welcome to California!
Philippine elections take place on May 10.
