Dear Friends,
Let us not allow those who want to do good be isolated and brought down by the minions of corruption and cynicism.
All the politicos of Pampanga may "support" their Cabalen in Malakanyang... but it is the ordinary Kapampangans -- decent, hard-working, god-fearing -- who elevated Fr. Ed Panlilio to power. Theirs is the greater mandate!
Please email/spread out this message of support for Among Ed, governor of
Pampanga.

Dear Fellow Filipinos,
Good day to you!
Last October 13 , Governor Ed Panlilio of Pampanga came out to
declare that he was given P 500,000.00 in cash which came from a Palace
Staff Member in Malacañang. The money was allegedly given for
baranggay projects and to support candidates for the upcoming baranggay
elections. Since Gov. Panlilio's admission, there have been
other local officials and congressmen who have admitted to receiving
money from Malacañang as well. Up until today we still don't know where this
money really came from.
But since then, Gov. Panlilio has been under fire because of doing the
right thing. Right now, local officials in Pampanga led by Vice-Gov.
Yeng Guiao are ganging up on him and marginalizing him by not respecting
his authority as governor. Media Publications in Pampanga are even being used
to destroy his credibility. If one looks at Gov. Panlilio's performance
thus far in the less than 6 months that he has been in office, the results
would speak for itself. He was able to raise the same amount of quarry taxes
in less than 2 months compared to the former governor who raised the same
amount in 1 year. Due to this, mayors and board members are now
demanding part of this collection money and are blackmailing Gov.
Panlilio by not passing important policies that will benefit the
constituencies of Pampanga.
Isn't this a familiar refrain in our country? Someone does good and yet
he is often punished for doing what is right? And worse, while this
is happening many of us just turn a blind eye without doing anything. We s
just shrug it off and move on with our lives. It is no wonder why
majority of our government leaders are becoming bolder and bolder in becoming
corrupt since for them no one would dare complaint about it. In
short, we deserve the kind of leaders that we have because we continue to
do nothing despite the fact that we see that there is something wrong. And
this is why I am writing to appeal to you right now, I'd like to ask for a few
minutes of your time to send an email of support to Gov. Ed Panlilio, let us
all tell him that we are behind him in his quest for the Truth. What is at
stake here is not only the people of Pampanga but the nation as a whole. Gov.
Ed exposed what has long been happening in Malacañang and now he is being
punished for it. Will you do something about it?
If yes, then please send an email of support to Gov. Ed
Panlilio at wesupportg...@gmail.com
and please help us by forwarding this email to all
your friends. We will print the emails that you send and give it to Gov.
Panlilio to show him that he is not alone in his quest for the Truth. Let us
show the world that the Filipino people will not just allow another Good Man
to fail and let evil prevail.
Thank you for your time! May you have a pleasant day!
Sincerely,
Harvey S.
