Panlilio: President?

Father-Governor-Among Ed Panlilio is said to be considering joining the Presidential race on 2010.

This was officially announced to the public via an endorsement of the Kaya Natin! Movement and other various organizations on Sunday. The group has endorsed the tandem of Panlilio (for President) and Isabela Governor Grace Padaca (for Vice President).

While some did see a positive view on the latest issue, others have serious doubts whether Panlilio is up for the challenge when he becomes President. Hindi raw kasi kasundo ni Among Ed ang mga Mayors and even the Board Members of Pampanga. If we look at it on a larger scale, suppose Among Ed becomes the country's president, can he manage well and effectively govern the entire nation kung hindi naman niya kasundo ang mga lawmakers?

I think this same thing happens in Nueva Ecija. While Governor Oyie Umali was able to topple down the Joson's dynastic hold of the governorship last 2007 elections, majority naman ng Sangguniang Panlalawigan, headed by Vice Governor Edward Joson, ay hindi niya kasundo, kaya hindi gaanong umuusad ang mga reforms and changes na gusto niyang ipatupad sa probinsiya.

Perhaps Panlilio's candidacy for President may only be made formidable if a known Political Party will endorse him and/or adopt him to be the standard bearer. But from the looks of it, malabong mangyari.
