Philippine elections are largely an exercise in name recognition, so Agakhan Sharief figured he might as well go for the big enchilada--and choose a name that would surely capture the attention of voters well beyond his province-- Osama bin Laden.
Unlike the world's most-wanted terror suspect, Sharief is known by many in his community as a peacemaker who has helped broker truces when sporadic clashes have erupted between government troops and Muslim insurgents.
But if threatened, he'll run for the mountains and hide out for months at a time, issuing fatwas against those that piss him off . . . . .
