Singer Imelda Papin has linked up with Bro. Eddie Villanueva to run under the Bangon Pilipinas Party.
With only 67 days to go before the May elections last Thursday, Villanueva announced the inclusion of Papin of Kilusang Bagong Lipunan (KBL) and also of lawyer Zosimo Jesus Paredes of Ang Kapatiran in the Bangon Pilipinas senatorial slate.
Zosimo is a former executive director of the Presidential Commission on the Visiting Forces Agreement who resigned in indignation over what he perceived as the government's protection of convicted US soldier Daniel Smith and insisted that the jurisdiction in a crime committed against a Filipina is with the Philippine courts.
“This is an exciting time for us. We believe that the addition of two very credible candidates to our senatorial slate speaks well of Bangon Pilipinas Party’s principle and platform,” Villanueva said.
Villanueva made it clear, however, that while Bangon Pilipinas is happy to welcome Papin and Paredes, the party has the highest regard for other parties participating in the May 2010. Bangon's secretary general Lawyer Ted Pascual said that as a matter of courtesy, the two new "senatoriables" had been asked to secure clearance from their respective parties before joining Bangon. According to Papin, she joined Villanueva because she believes he is the lone presidential candidate who could bring about genuine change in the country
