Manny Pacquiao for President

Id rather vote for ERAP than Pacquiao....LOL...Las Vegas will make a golden statue for Pacquiao!!!! wow!!

Manny Pacquiao strategically transferred to Saranggani. He was from Gen San but he knew that Darlene Custodio will knock her down again. Pacquiao may have intentions for politics and I'm sure when he makes it to the congress, he will be tempted to try even the senatorial and presidential slots in the future.

Pacquiao should invest time in studying governance.

he does sound like a politician!

I think it would be best for him if he wouldn't go through politics. Staying on what he is, a well known celebrity and has given alot of pride to his country...and on how he is known should be kept that way..because politics/politicians can't be trusted that much...:|

Why, what is so wrong with Pacquiao--or someone of his stature--being president? Do we hate the thought because we think (or prejudge) that he is incapable or we fear to admit the fact that whether it is someone with good education makes no difference?

No, I do not think this topic is a joke. In fact, I think it requires all of us to ponder upon our political maturity as a nation.

Other than his age, Pacquiao has all the qualifications outlined in the Constitution as a candidate for the country's highest office. Assuming there is no age requirement, he will not even be declared a nuisance candidate because he obviously is capable of political machinery given his popularity and wealth.

An election, in my opinion, is not just an exercise in democracy but a collective ritual of taking a shot at fulfilling a national dream. Who does not want to see his country progress?

The question, therefore, should not be whether or not Pacquiao ought to run as president. Except for his age, he is not barred. Moreover he is very "winnable." We should ask instead: Will we allow it?

And the answer will spell the fate of our nation.

Manny Pacquiao for President? that is possible considering the fact he is very famous not only in the Philippines but on other countries. Maybe he can run for president but i don't really think he can win it. I know Pacquiao wants to help his fellow Filipinos, but i think he can still help them in other ways and not by joining the world of politics which is full of controversy and corruption.

How about supporting our own Filipino athletes, provide jobs to jobless one through his own business. I know Manny Pacquiao is on to business right now. Many of his business where not name according to his name but where handle by his chosen in-charge person.

Manny for president??? c'mon... we are in need of intelligent officials that can solve our countries' problems... he can be a boxer, an entertainer, a celebrity, but please... never a politician... politics is dirty he'll just end up losing all his assets

I think nothing is better than gaining the respect, admiration and love of everyone. He has the wealth, the fame, a happy family and a beatiful life. He outwit everyone in his chosen career. Why then enter the politics? The much troubled dirty, politics. He is being blessed with his kindness maybe, he earns big in an honest, clean manner, why leave this wonderful world of his, where his love for God and pure heart bring him nothing but success. Why gambled his peaceful life to a much troubled, uncertain world. He would just be dragged into controversies and learn how to be a corrupt. He would no longer be an idol to some, no more admiration and love from others, who would treat him a foe being an opponent at the politics. If Manny however would insist, I suggest he runs for mayor first. There's nothing wrong starting down the line. Every step he would successfully sit is a great contributing experience for a top position he maybe dreaming of.

manny may be that popular but he is still not fit to run for presidency--especially in this corruption-clouded phillippine government..no,no,no! if he insists on running for the post, i believe he will just be wasting his time and money by making himself a host for parasite traditional politicians in this country..what a pity!

Oh please no. We already have a lot of presidentiables, and now he's going to add to the list, it's going to be a circus!

I don't think he'll fare well as a politician because he has no knowledge about politics. I just hope that the masses won't be swayed with his popularity and wealth. But anyway, even without Pacquiao running, we still have far to go for a better government.
