Editorial
Pathetic Panlilio
Feb 24, 2010
“SABI NILA noon ay bakit nakikialam ang hindi naman mga Kapampangan. Ang tanong ko ay bakit kaya sila walang suporta galing sa labas ng probinsiya? (They were saying then, why do non-Kapampangans meddle (with the affairs of the province). My question, why don’t they have support from outside the province).”
So the recounted-out-but-still-sitting Gov. Eddie T. Panlilio lashed out at the camp of his nemesis at a recent media conference at the Capitol, ensconced as he was in the embrace of his Manila-based noisier than numerous comfort zone.
The people of Pampanga would rather that Panlilio ask himself why he is not getting any support from within the province: Ang tanong, bakit kaya si Panlilio ay walang suporta sa loob ng probinsiya?
On the night of the announcement of the resolution of the Commission on Election’s Second Division unseating him from the governorship, there were more candles than the 200 people who came to his vigil. Utterly disappointing the news channels that came with their OB vans to document what was promised them by Panlilio’s highly imaginative camp as the making of another people power revolt.
On the promised “big rally” to protest the resolution, less than 500 souls came, half of whom were high school students herded by attendance-checking class monitors. A kiddy crusade, we called it in a previous editorial.
Still undaunted for not knowing any better, Panlilio’s cheerleader Patrick Pantaleon of the elitist La Salle-Ateneo rich boys club bragged at the media conference that his coalition of some “200 groups with hundreds of thousands of members will focus on the current political issues in the province more than any other area.”
Pantaleon could just have simply stated they would support Panlilio till kingdom – or hell – come, the latter most likely to arrive ahead for them with the coming elections. .
It’s just really too bad for Panlilio that Pantaleon’s hundreds of thousands of members do not vote in Pampanga.
Sabi nila bakit nakikialam ang hindi naman mga Kapampangan. Ang sagot, dahil wala nang Kapampangan pang gustong maki-alam pa kay Panlilio. (So why do non-Kapampangans meddle? Because the Kapampangans would not want to have anything to do with Panlilio).
Pathetic, really pathetic.
