KIKO ON FR. ED PANLILIO'S VICTORY

"We welcome Fr. Ed Panlilio's victory as governor of Pampanga, and we are eager to witness, as they say, 'the dawn of new politics' in the said province. When we visited Among Ed, who's also running independent, a few weeks ago in his headquarters in Pampanga, he shared our thrust of moving away politics-as-usual and ushering in the politics of results and principled leadership. We are grateful that our fellow Kapampangans rallied behind him and his platform."

"I am very optimistic of Among Ed's term, and I am positive that he will guide the people of Pampanga as honestly and as sincerely as when he did as a priest. We need morally upright leaders in the local level as we do in the national level. Despite the turmoil that we have witnessed this election, we are also seeing little victories here and there for Philippine politics and for our people. The key here, as shown in the case of Pampanga, is a vigilant electorate that is willing to claim its stake in the electoral process."
