Talk:Fernando Poe, Jr.

[edit] Rabies
- I think this was mentioned in some news articles and television programs from the Philippines during the presidential campaign. And here is one from the Philippine Daily Inquirer --Jojit fb 11:25, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Other reports are a bite from a rabid puppy. However, rabies *can* be transmitted by a lick, and it's also possible he was licked and then bitten. I can't prove one or the other; from what little I understand (no Tagalog) most of the news casts here (Phils) are carrying the lick alternative, but that probably means their background information is coming from the same source. -- sdfisher 16:50, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Based on the Philippine Daily Inquirer report (and others as well), it was FPJ himself who said that his father died after the rabid puppies licked his wounds. Maybe to be safe, we can rephrase the sentence to -- However, according to Poe, his father died in 1951 after rabid puppies licked his wounds. --Jojit fb 03:09, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I like that idea. It gives proper credit to the statement... which should probably be done anyway. --sdfisher 02:44, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Fernando Po
What about a note:
- This article is not about Fernando Po. --Wetman 16:56, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Name of Poe's mother
Because frequent deletes of the "Elizabeth" as the name of Poe's mother, I cited sources in the internet regarding this. Actually Bessie and Elizabeth are both correct. Bessie was her nickname while Elizabeth was her official name or it could be the opposite. So to make it safe, I didn't mentioned what her official name was. I just cited that some sources in the Philippine press stated that her name was also called Elizabeth. --Jojit fb 04:50, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
