Press statement of Sen. Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan
on Aquino widening lead over other presidentiables

"The results of the survey confirm our long-standing position that our people yearn for real change in their lives and aspire for a new direction for our nation. It is proof that despite the billions pumped in by our adversaries in paid ads, our people remain steadfast in their support for Senator Aquino and that they see in him the golden opportunity to elect an honest leader they can trust and who can make real change happen.

"We must not forget that in 2007, of the top 12 biggest ad spenders in the senate race, 8 lost. More than paid ads, it is the message of real change and honesty in government that our people yearn for and which Noynoy Aquino represents.

"Sawang-sawa na ang mamamayan sa mga politiko na tuwing eleksyon ay pinapangako ang lahat ngunit sa sa huling banda ay inabuso rin ang kapangyarihan, nagsinungaling din habanh nakaupo at nagpayaman at nagpakasasa sa puwesto. Hangad ng mamamayan ang tunay na mapagkakatiwalaan para umasenso na ang bansa at nakikita nila ito sa kandidatura ni Noynoy."
