THERE are obvious reasons why this former priest is thankfully now an ex-priest.
He will bite the hand that feeds him. He is no more than a stir-the-pot-type person. He knew coming in that politics is what it is — and why is it that now he is claiming to be the holy one. The Mister Clean?

On Carter Change, start it now guys, that is your only hope for change. You would not be dictated by rich and powerful kingmakers who choose the only people they wanted that you should elect. Only select the people who you could trust that won’t sell you to the dogs. If you again sell your votes and be fooled by the trapos, expect already a very bad government. Don’t go to EDSA and rally because the people you elected are not doing the right things. What they are doing have already been paid to you. So you deserve a government of people that bought your votes. A corrupt elector begets a corrupt government. Magtiis kayo, ginusto ninyo ‘yan….

Fr. Ed Panlilio is almost my hero, only it became half-baked because he did not know who gave it to him. This is the the disconnect to a supposed to be complete admiration. He has gone to the airwaves without even knowing who the actual giver is. Is this not grandstanding to make him more popular? What now Governor…is this your way of getting donations? Not knowing that you are accepting jueteng money which you denounce as immoral? So when you accept something that is immoral that you don’t really know who is the source, you are like the police enforcer that was given bribe money without asking for it. Who is more immoral, the priest or the police?

Fr Ed was RIGHT in exposing the BRIBERY (Consummated) right at the doorsteps of Malacanang.
He was WRONG in accepting the DIRTY MONEY because in accepting, he became a PRINCIPAL in the crime of bribery.
He cannot account something(bribe money) that is not documented as public funds unlike IRA allotments, realty taxes and others which are covered by public documents before its release.
The right thing to do for Fr. Ed, is to return the P500,000 lock, stock and barrel in Malacanang.You cannot give to your constituents goods from a polluted source. Its a mortal sin. He can have all the money, with plenty to spare from lahar, to aid his people.

Gov. Panlilio, in his press conference, said that he believes the money was given in good faith, to help his constituents and that it was not meant to bribe him. These statements, however, was not given prominence by the media.
Gov. Panlilio welcomes the assistance but wants everything in order. I think that’s what he was trying to convey. HOwever, the media portrayed him as a whistleblower.

mr. panlilio should understand the current situation in our country.. he created another trouble to our already sinking economy and loss confidence from investors..
why come to media immediately? he should have done the official inquiry first before putting things on fire.
he loves being in public view..
