Pacquiao leads athletes in filing for party-list polls

I was expecting Pacquiao to run for Congress but I didn't see this one coming, lmao. T'wouldn't be surprising to see Pacquiao get the nomination if this group wins in the polls.

Pacquiao leads athletes in filing for party-list polls

The Pwersa ng Bayaning Atleta (PBA) filed yesterday its manifestation of intent to run in next year’s party-list polls before the Commission on Elections (Comelec).

Boxing icon Manny Pacquiao, retired Philippine Basketball Association player Chris Bolado and former Caloocan City mayor Rey Malonzo, a martial artist, led the filing but they refused to say if they will be the group’s nominees in case it wins in the polls.

“Please support PBA because it will give priority to our young athletes. We need to help each other so that Philippine flags will be raised anywhere in the world. PBA will help athletes who need our assistance,” Pacquiao said.

^^ Akala ko tatakbo siya representing Sarangani, under his own People's Champ Party? Bakit napunta na sa Party List?

Tuloy pa rin daw ang pagtakbo nya sa Congress sa Sarangani. Baka fallback nya itong party list nya kung sakaling matalo sya sa Sarangani, Congressman pa rin naman sya kung manalo yang party list nya.

i have no problem pacquiao sitting in congress. he may not be the most intelligent, but he has the steetsmarts. hire na lang ng magagaling na tao.

wag lang siya gagaya sa mga buwaya. knockout tayo sa ganun.

While I doubt Pacquiao's purpose and ability as a politician, at the very least he should retire from boxing first.

Elected officials IMO, owe it to the people to devote all their time to their duties.

Wag pa-absent-absent sa mga critical votes, tapos yun pala shooting ng movie or training for an upcoming match.
