Bro. Eddie gets endorsement of Erap 'best friend'

“Mga kababayan, ang susunod na presidente ng Pilipinas, Bro Eddie Villanueva!”

Lifting Villanueva’s hand in victory, those were the words of Puerto Princesa City Mayor Edward Hagedorn in what could be considered as his categorical endorsement of the televangelist last Saturday, March 6, during the latter’s visit to the country’s cleanest and greenest city.

“Nasubukan na natin lahat. Bakit di naman natin subukan ang taong may takot sa Diyos? Siguradong di sya gagawa ng masama dahil di nya pwedeng suwayin ang itinuturo niya,” the city mayor also said of the Bangon Pilipinas Party standardbearer.

Meanwhile, Villanueva who runs on a platform of “Anim na taon na walang korapsyon” wowed the crowd of more than 5,000 people when he spoke before them at the Palawan Coliseum.

Quoting Section 18 of the Local Government Code, Villanueva said that under a righteous leadership, Palawan should have received its rightful share of P5B a year from the Malampaya revenues.

“Kung matino ang gobyerno, dapat sana’y naibigay sa Palawan ang P5B pondo kada taon. Mai-integrate ang sea transport, land transport, air transport. Dapat sana’y number one tourist destination na ang Palawan sa buong mundo,” he underscored.
