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?

I laud Gov. Panlilio for telling the truth, unlike most politicians who are right now in a dilemma on whether they should tell the truth, a lie, or a half-truth. He only shows that there are still people in the government who would stand up to what is morally right even if it is not convenient.

Kudos to Ed Panlilio, his advisors, and those who believe we can actually change Philippine politics. As someone else has said before me, evil reigns when good men fail to speak up.
I have lost all expectations for Philippine politics, but have not yet lost hope.
This tells us that to vote for one good man into office is to give the light of one bright candle against the darkness of Philippine politics.

This panlilio Jueteng money vindicates my own opinion about jueteng activities has ruled the philippines since the Removal of President Erap intension to make Jueteng funds legal, by investing it to Belle Resources stocks which was mostly owned by SSS and GSIS members, where it was priced at $3.14 per share, it would have tripled its price earning ratio, if it was not derailed by those Jueteng lords the hero of edsa2, we SSS and GSIS members can sue the government to recover the lost pension funds whoever is the guilty person. jueteng remains the same.

I beg to disagree to Mr. Payawal. Obviously you don’t know the person and you are just basing your opinions and thoughts based on what you see and read on the news.
I commend Gov. Panlilio or Among Ed as he is popularly known for his courageous act in receiving the money and then going public to let the people know that what is happening in the Philippines political arena is downright dirty and muddy. Some people says, that he should have not accept the money and just kept mum about it, if he kept mum about it, then the public will be kept in the dark. This is the people’s money thru payment of taxes. So the public has every right to know what is really happening inside the close doors of Malacanang. If Malacanang has not issue a response in 15 days on where the money came from, Among Ed will have no choice but to return the money and I call on the other public officials to do the same to show solidarity that being Clean is IN! It is high time that we Filipinos stand up for what is really Right.

NBN controversy, cash dole outs, a justice secretary playing dumb, influential and corrupt couples taking turns in public office, worsening poverty, rising illiteracy. Add a bloated bureaucracy and politicians’ headcount bigger than that of France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Spain combined and you get the perfect recipe for a Philippine Banana Republic.
