Magalang, Pampanga rejects Recall Petition

MAGALANG, PAMPANGA - Oct 03, 2008, hundreds joined the prayer rally to reject the recall petition against Gov. Eddie T. Panlilio.

KASAUP Magalang Chapter, headed by Mr. Rey Rivera organized the said event. It was attended by multi-sectoral organizations, Jesus Is Lord Movement headed by Pastor Joel Cruz, Born Again Christians, Fr. Jake the parish priest of Magalang, Kasaup coordinators, Vice Mayor of Magalang and councils, Brgy. Captains of Magalang and councils, and youth organizations.

The people from the town of Magalang clearly showed that they still believe in the leadership of Gov. Ed Panlilio. His ouster or recall is not the answer to Pampanga's progress. The Kapampangans should unite for the betterment of the province and should set aside political interests.

The vice mayor announced to the people of Magalang that Among Ed is indeed implementing projects to the municipality contrary to the circulating gossips that the Governor has not done anything.

Almost all the members of the Local Government of Magalang attended the rally in suport for good governance in the province except the mayor. It is a first in Pampanga that local government leaders came together in one venue with the governor.

Among Ed was overwhelmed with the outcome of the rally, he also said that it is his first time since he became governor of Pampanga that he has sat down beside a vice mayor and councilors.

The "no to recall" signature petition was also launched that day and hundreds signed to reject the recall petition launched by Kambilan.
