Francis Pancratius "Kiko" Nepomuceno Pangilinan[1] (Tagalog: [paŋɪˈlinan]; born August 24, 1963) is a Filipino lawyer, politician, and farm owner who served as a Senator from 2001 to 2013 and from 2016 to 2022.[2][3] He was the Senate Majority Leader from 2004 to 2008.
A graduate of the University of the Philippines College of Law and Harvard Kennedy School, Pangilinan was first elected to the Quezon City Council, serving from 1988 to 1992. In between his stints in the Senate, he was the Presidential Assistant for Food Security and Agricultural Modernization to President Benigno Aquino III from 2014 to 2015.[4]
Pangilinan ran for vice president of the Philippines in the 2022 election under the Liberal Party as the running mate of Vice President Leni Robredo.[5] However, he lost his vice-presidential bid to Sara Duterte, running mate of eventual president Bongbong Marcos.
After his second Senate stint, Pangilinan hosts Hello Pagkain! on One PH and Rekta: Agenda ng Masa on DZRH and DZRH News Television.[6][7]
