Beleaguered Pampanga Gov. Ed Panlilio declared today that he is prepared to face the recall proceedings initiated by his political rivals with high hopes that the people will support him.

"Yes I will run in the recall election," Panlilio said when he was asked during the Weekly Kapihan sa Sulo hotel news forum if he will run as candidate in case the recall petition will be approved by the Commission on Elections (Comelec).

The governor however said that this early his supporters have been conducting a counter signature campaign against the recall initiatives.

Panlilio said he is expecting that the civil society groups, which played a major role in his victory in the last election, will again rally behind him. "I have offered the best services for Pampanga," he said.
