Gov. Eddie T. Panlilio

Highlights of Gov. Ed Panlilio's speech entitled
Call to Hope & Self-Sacrifice: Shifting Gears in Pampanga
(26 March, Manila Peninsula, Makati City)

• His take-home pay a month is only
  P 20,000 so he wonders why some
  people would spend so much in
  election campaign and even resort to
  violence just to win the governorship.
• "SOP" is now equated with bribery.
  He strongly abhors such cultural mindset.
• Graft and corruption is a sin against the innocents.
• The government's procurement system is
  based on distrust because of the voluminous
  and arduous paper works it entails.
• We need to apply gospel values to political actions.
• Only one (Oscar Rodriguez of San Fernando)
  of Pampanga's 20+ mayors supports him.
  He suspects a "team moneyger" is behind them.
