I never had a liking for partisan politics. Priesthood and pastoral ministry has always been my life for 28 years. And I love this life.
On the evening of May 18, 2007, I was proclaimed governor of Pampanga. On that same night I said I would only be in public service for 3 years. That was my promise and I intend to keep it.
However, we have a saying that goes, “Man proposes, God disposes.”
Hence, if the Good Lord wills me to run for a second term or a higher office, let His will be done. After all I have stopped living for myself. My agenda has therefore been to be submissive to His design.
I have been approached by a number of groups prodding me to aspire for the presidency. I replied let us make a collective discernment to know whom God really wants for this job. If we find a person or persons that best embody good governance, effective and ethical leadership, let us support such leaders and make them win. I too will support them.
I will not volunteer to run. But if God tells me to run through this collective process, so be it.
I will also come to a personal discernment. Whatever is the decision that brings peace to my heart, then that must be His will.
