Liberal Party presidential candidate Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III courted vote-rich Pampanga province, political bailiwick of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

At a press conference in the Jose Feliciano College in Mabalacat town, Noynoy Aquino said he is not giving up on pro-Arroyo Pampanga. He was accompanied by Pampanga Governor Ed Panlilio, who is seeking re-election, and LP vice gubernatorial candidate Marco Lazatin.

Aquino noted that Pampangenos backed up his father, martyred senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr., and his mother, the late former president Corazon Aquino, during the martial law era.

“Ito po’y huling kampanya ko na rin, bumabalik po ako sa aking pinagmulan. At ako’y umaasa na talagang ngayon ho makakadesisyon nang malaya ang ating mga kababayan at makikita natin po uli yung talagang pagkatagal-tagalan na ugnayan at pagtutulungan po natin,(This is my last campaign, and I am going back to where I began. I am hoping that the people can now decide freely and we will see the relations and assistance we have long extended to one another.)” said Aquino, who has previously said he won’t run for any other position after his presidential term if he wins in the May elections.

Liberal Party (LP) standard bearer Benigno “Noynoy” S. Aquino III urged Cebuanos to take part in the people power to eliminate corruption. He repeated to Cebuanos his call for a people power against graft and corruption made during the 24th Anniversary of the People Power Revolution of 1986.

Aquino and running mate Senator Mar Roxas stressed the need for the people, particularly the youth, to fight corruption in the government, which has kept millions of Filipinos hungry, jobless, and out of school.
