Pampanga Governor Eddie Panlilio formally offered himself as a presidential candidate in the 2010 national elections. It was during a lunch held at the Bantayog ng mga Bayani (Monument of Heroes) in Quezon City when Ed announced his desire to serve the country as president. He was backed by the newly organized group, Kilos Na!
More or less seventy (70) people who attended the said activity came from the Movement for a Better Philippines, a new youth group, and a Filipino-American who promised to mobilize Filipinos in the United States to raise funds for Panlilio.
Panlilio was a priest for 29 years before he run and won the gubernatorial race in 2007. He is on leave from his priestly duties while serving out his term as a governor, but said he would leave the priesthood if he runs for president.
