Francis Pangilinan doesn’t care who he pleases and who he condemns, as long as he can get all the votes he can muster, and win.
He thinks that being neither on the administration’s roster nor on the opposition’s is a big plus for him.
“Trapo ka rin, ‘Noted.’” [You're also a traditional politico, "Noted."]

What does the now infamous response “Noted” mean?
It simply means, “I hear you but I don’t agree with you … so forget it… no further discussions”
It is disgusting that even lawyers, bureaucrats, tribunals and people in position who wish to ignore legitimate complaints use this now abused word … “Noted”.
Truly disgusting.

Commissioner Sarmiento and Kiko Pangilinan are lost borthers. See the similarities.

I feel so sad with the kind of mentality we have as Filipinos, the so called “crab mentality.” Most of the comments above spew hatred and displeasure against Senator Francis Pangilinan, wanting to put him down just because of that infamous word “Noted” during the Erap Impeachment Hearing. For me, that was the right thing for him to do at the time because if you take note of something, you deemed it important for consideration later. Meaning, there was no outright rejection, but the matter was taken into consideration to be treated later. What’s wrong with that?
I do not know Senator Pangilinan personally but majority of the public perception of his personality is that of one who exudes righteousness and decency in his official dealings.

senator pangilinan i salute u for deciding to run as an independent candidate. why? kasi magagawa mo ang dapat mong gawin by not being under the umbrella of the administration or opposition. sana makagawa kayo ng batas na magpaparusa sa mga corrupt kaya lang dapat din damihan ang mga manghuhuli sa mga corrupt kasi wala o konti lang yata ang nahuhuling mga corrupt. and dapat kasing isipin ng mga corrupt ay hindi lang isang tao ang NINANAKAWAN NILA. MARAMI, ANG SAMBAYANANG PILIPINO na nagpapakahirap magbayad ng buwis tapos ibinubulsa lang nila. MATAKOT SILA SA DIYOS NA ALAM ANG LAHAT NG ATING GINAGAWA WHTHER GOOD OR BAD.
