KIKO PANGILINAN – The vice presidential candidate will not back out from the VP race in the elections next year.

He will go against Buhay party-list representative Lito Atienza, Doc. Willie Ong, senators Bong Go and Tito Sotto.
He will run the said post alongside his running mate, Vice President Leni Robredo.
According to him, he will not back out from the VP race after being flooded with support.
He stressed that among the things that encouraged him to push through in his VP bid are the “explosion” of support from volunteers backing him and Robredo.
“These motorcades, for example, in the coming days, this is purely spontaneous, wala kaming inorganisa dito,” the senator said.
“So the explosion, yung bumabaha ang suporta, talagang yun ang naguudyok sa atin kaya tuloy tuloy na ito, wala nang atrasan,” he added.
