He's a national icon already. I really don't see the point on running in congressional post. I believe that some people around him is just using his fame, shame...

This is the second time he's running for office. The reason why he didn't win the first time is because he does more for the Philippines by being a winning boxer than he would be able to do in office.

He is intelligent, but i think not intellectually competent to become a congressman/lawmaker. The downside is his educational background.

Probably not... supposedly he paid the voters the "legal" amount (aka voter buying) during the last elections....
An "intelligent" person would bribe the vote counting people... not the voters... DUH!   


Also the fact that he claimed he had a "conversation with God" early in his career....
And he's a self-proclaimed "God fearing man"... even though he obviously doesn't fear God enough, because still committed adultry...
leads me to believe that he would be the typical stupid/corrupt Filipino politician...

Like I've stated here before, Philippine democracy is a joke...
And he would just be another clown in the car....   


But from looking at it from his point of view... his boxing career won't last forever... how else is he going to make millions upon millions if he doesn't get into politics (and get his kickbacks)?

From what you've said, it looks like you really hate Pacquiao or you're just another PBF Fan.

But anyway, you've got to give credit for all his achievements and the honor he bring to his beloved country. I don't really want to argue about what you've said, after all he's just a human being.

Peace bro.

Definitely not a PBF fan...
Just the hero worship here in the Philippines rubs me the wrong way...

I won't take anything from Pacquiao.... he's a FANTASTIC boxer...

It's just the other things that pinoy stars tend to do, that bother me...

Singing/acting career when they have no talent... political careers only because they have "star power"...

I've lived here too long... the mediocrity is suffocating me... sigh....

Like the other side doesn't pay off voters as well? Elections in the Philippines work like this in one of two ways:

1) vote for my guy or I'll put a bullet in your head and then I'll wipe out your family.

2) I'll throw some pesos at you to vote for my guy...

I wouldn't be too surprised if Manny went with the second option but just to clear things up, it's standard operating procedure over there.

Man, if you're Filipino, you better bask in the sunshine while Manny is at the peak of his power.  And don't take potshots at him.  He is the real deal.
