This is the explanation of Kiko Pangilinan for his viral selfie photo with the president.
Former senator Kiko Pangilinan posed with President Bongbong Marcos and his wife and this is his explanation for this following the buzz it created.
Among the attendees of the Konsyerto sa Palasyo event were Megastar Sharon Cuneta and her husband politician Kiko Pangilinan. The couple even posed for a photo with President Bongbong Marcos and First Lady Liza Marcos. The event focused on the theme “Para sa Pelikulang Pilipino” which honored the local film industry at the Kalayaan Hall grounds.
The photo was posted online and many people reacted to it. As much as we all know, Pangilinan and Marcos were rivals in the previous presidential elections. The former senator used to be the running mate of former vice president Leni Robredo in the 2022 elections and to recall, Robredo was Marcos’ top rival in the presidential polls.
Pangilinan saw the posts questioning the selfie with some recalling the statements he had before criticizing the Marcoses. Many people called out the former senator and in a post, he made a clarification.
According to him, he attended to support the local film industry upon the invitation of the Palace, and, at the same time, he was there to accompany his wife. As much as we all know, the Megastar is one of the pillars of the entertainment and movie industry.
The former senator thanked Malacañang for supporting Philippine cinema and he also supports its decision to ban POGOs and its stand over the West Philippine Sea.
“Showing up to support and appreciate the initiatives of Malacañang that we ourselves support and advocate does not mean we have abandoned our principles,” Pangilinan stressed.
Meanwhile, Pangilinan is running again in the upcoming 2025 midterm elections for senator.

Yes there’s nothing bad or improper with the picture of the Pangilinans and the Marcoses after all of them are politicians and showbiz people.
What’s wrong with that? Politics must not be put as part of your lifetime. . They are professionals. . Politics is set aside when personal matters come in. . Ika nga “TRABAHO LANG WALANG PERSONALAN”
