KIKO PANGILINAN PRAISES MAR ON DISPLAY OF STATESMANSHIP

Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan lauds senator Mar Roxas' decision to give way to senator Noynoy Aquino's bid as president under the Liberal Party.

"Senator Roxas displayed supreme statesmanship with this move. We laud his recognition of the country's need for reform over individual ambition. This display of sacrifice is what our countrymen yearn for."

"Gaya ng nasabi natin, pati ako handang isakripisyo ang aking mga plano para sa bayan. Mas importante ang kinabukasan ng Pilipinas kaysa sariling interes. Sa pagpapakita ng sakripisyo ni senador Roxas, naging huwaran ito ng paglilingkod at pag-aalay ng sarili para sa ating mga kababayan."

Pangilinan adds that Roxas' announcement will help unite a reform oriented front towards genuine political reform.

"We are ready to respond to senator Roxas' call to unite all groups committed to reform and genuine change."
