Any update on Pacquiao running for congress?

I agree, Pacquiao is at his greatest and he should make it that way. Putting politics into the picture will only distract him. Maybe in a few years and when a new pound for pound king comes up then that would be the best time to run for whatever position he wants. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Pacquiao should make politics the least of his worries for the moment,He's at his peak and I'm pretty sure politics will destroy all that. Maybe in a few years, if he's retired and don't have anything more to do with his money join the political arena and let the people decide. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

thank you very much!!!:D

I agree. He should make politics the least of his worries for now. I don't see no reason why we should keep Pacquiao away from politics since it's his choice, I'm sure he's mature enough to know what's good for him or not. For now, he should focus his concentration on winning his fight with Cotto and hopefully Mayweather Jr. After that, he can do whatever he want, even run for president since he can very well afford it LOL. Thanks for sharing. LOL.

I think being a Filipino himself has the right to bid for any political position. I really think that if he really wants to serve then let him be and join politics already. I think he has proven many times of what he can do on the boxing ring and he is looking for another outlet where he feels would be recognized in another arena which in this case the political arena. if he would allow himself to be used by TRAPOs well it is his decision to choose and the poeple to judge him during election time. This was proven already during the first time he ran for congress against a well known political rival he lose because it seems his rival is very popular and is known to have contributed to the community she serves. Now as a strategy he changes his district and found a new district which he think he would win. I just hope that he is correct in his judgement to really be in this arena.

I don't think we can keep Pacquiao away from politics forever. When that time comes, I hope he will come prepared not only financially but with the wit since we all know that it could destroy the image that he has portrayed as boxing icon and a hero us Filipinos. Our only consolation is, if he made it to become the number pound for pound boxer in the world, became a billionaire, then there should be no reason why he can't be number one in politics. I just hope that his being religious will guide him through it. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

If that's the case, he'd better win so he can pour his millions to develop the place. Because if Sarangani is poor it means the politicians there are doing no good, so maybe Pacquiao will make a difference...What do you think?

Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Pouring millions would just be band-aid solution. Besides, you'd need billions, not millions.

Saranggani is not as wealthy as its neighbors because it's not as rich in natural resources. Even the most altruistic politician won't be able to develop the place if the people don't do it themselves. Governments don't create wealth, it just takes it.
