An Addendum to My Pacquiao for President Post

Thank God!

A few days ago, some guy named Bob Arum told everybody that he’s certain Manny Pacquiao could be president when he reaches 42.

Pacquiao however, in one of the few things he has done right outside the ring, told my favorite [italics mine] sportscasters, Dyan Castillejo and no other than Ronnie Nathanielsz that he is not even thinking about presidency.

What a relief for me and the 90 million plus Filipinos. At least, straight from the horse’s mouth, we are assured that we will not have another Noynoy Aquino for the next ten years or so.

“Wala sa isip ko yan. Kung anong katungkulan ko ngayon, ‘yun ang nasa isip ko,” said the boxing superstar and lawmaker from Saranggani.

For the first time outside the ring, I can say that I’m proud of you, Manny. But you may want to look for another boxing promoter as Bob Arum will surely leave you just like how Kris Aquino dumped James Yap.

The eight-division champ added: “Makaserbisyo ng totoo, makatulong sa kapwa, maraming nangangailangan ng tulong na kelangan nating aksyunan.”

Thanks a lot,  Pac! MM
