MANILA, Philippines -- The Ed Panlilio for President Movement has been getting a lot of financial pledges from various business organizations, an official of an ex-seminarians group disclosed today.
Atty. Ricky Ribo, Philippine Alliance of Ex-Seminarians (PAX) convenor, said they hope to raise the needed funds to launch the presidential campaign for Pampanga Gov. Ed Panlilio before he files his certificate of candidacy.
"We have already received many pledges to help Among Ed’s campaign," Ribo told reporters during the media forum today in Greenhills, San Juan City.
Aside from PAX, which has 40 affiliate groups, Ribo said several cause-oriented and progressive organizations have expressed their willingness to help launch Panlilio's presidential bid in 2010.
Ribo said they will try to meet the P10-per-voter requirement by the Commission on Elections.
"We will just donate to a charitable institution or foundation the excess of the money," he said.
A presidential candidate must be able to shell out around P3 billion to sustain a national campaign.
