Pinay ex-porn star wants to be Nevada gov
A Filipina immigrant to the United States who has appeared in American porn films may yet bring pride to the Philippines — if she wins in the gubernatorial elections on Aug. 15 in Nevada.
Melody Damayo, who is better known by her "nom de porn, Mimi Miyagi," filed her certificate as a Republican gubernatorial candidate in the state of Nevada on May 12.
She registered as a candidate under her birth name, Melody Damayo, born on July 3, 1973 in Davao City.
She is running in the Nevada primary next month against US congressman Jim Gibbons of Nevada, a fellow Republican, and Henderson Mayor Jim Gibson, a Democrat.
If she wins the elections, Damayo would follow the footsteps of Italian lawmaker Ilone Staller, an immigrant from Hungary and a former porn star who went by the name Cicciliona. She won a seat in Italy’s parliament in 1987.
After filing her candidacy, Damayo was featured on the MSNBC news show, "The Situation With Tucker Carlson." Her interview was extensively reported in the June 19 issue of the Las Vegas Review-Journal which first came out with the story about Damayo’s bid for governor.
