Earlier today, Governor Ed Panlilio announced, along with Isabela Governor Grace Padaca, in a joint statement, that they will be ending their Presidential Bid for the 2010 Elections to give way and also give support to Senator Noynoy Aquino.

“Pagkatapos ng aming pagdarasal, pakikilahok sa mga kaganapan sa ating lipunan at pag-iisip at pagkonsulta sa aming mga taga-suporta, nagpasya kaming lahat na tugunan ang tawag ng pagmamahal sa bayan, sakripisyo at pagkakaisa na pinangunahan na ni Senator Mar Roxas noong Martes,”

The announcement however had no effect on the tone of former President Joseph Estrada, who is still second behind Manny Villar in the presidential polls, and has given no indication that he would back out of the race. Other presidential aspirants are being urged to step down and give way to Senator Noynoy Aquino in order to unite the opposition.

Senator Panfilo Lacson has urged former president Estrada to give way to Senator Noynoy, and has indicated that he would support a Noynoy candidacy.
