Eddie Panlilio

Eddie Panlilio

Eddie "Among Ed" Tongol Panlilio (born December 6, 1953) is a Kapampangan Filipino Roman Catholic priest and governor of the province of Pampanga. He was suspended from his priestly duties upon announcing his intention to run as governor. He was elected governor in May 2007 in a three-way race against incumbent governor Mark Lapid and provincial board member Lilia Pineda. In February 2010, following a recount of votes due to an election protest, the Comelec ruled that Lilia Pineda had won the 2007 election over Panlilio. It appeared that Panlilio failed in his campaign for governor in the 2010 election.

Panlilio was named "Filipino of the Year" for 2007 by the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
