Liberal Party Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan quits the Senate Presidency race a day before the openning the 15th Congress on July 26. Pangilinan doesn't want to be the reason of the fragmentation and disunited senate. In his statement he says that as much as he wanted to win the senate presidency he cannot handle the disunity among the member of the senate. Aside from the issues in the senate, Pangilinan's wife the actress Sharon Cuneta shows disappointment on his uncle Senator Tito Sotto III for not supporting his husband instead he supports Sen. Juan Ponce "Johnny" Enrile.
Aside from Pangilinan and Enrile, there are reports on Sen. Manny Villar the contender of the now President Noynoy Aquino on the 2010 election and still a senator with a remaining three years in his term shows interest on getting the senate presidency post.
Pangilinan is one of the four Liberal Party Senators including Ralph Recto, Frank Drilon and TG Guingona. The 15th Congress opens its session in line with the first State of the Nation Address of PNoy.
