Eduardo "Among Ed" Tongol Panlilio (Tagalog: [pɐn̪ˈlil.jo]; born December 6, 1953) is a Filipino former Roman Catholic priest and 31st Governor of Pampanga from 2007 to 2010. He was suspended from his priestly duties upon announcing his intention to run as governor. He was elected governor in May 2007 in a three-way race against incumbent governor Mark Lapid and provincial board member Lilia Pineda. In February 2010, following a recount of votes due to an election protest, the Comelec ruled that Lilia Pineda had won the 2007 election over Panlilio.[1]

Panlilio was named "Filipino of the Year" for 2007 by the Philippine Daily Inquirer.[2]
