Will Manny Pacquiao Win His Upcoming Election?

VERY unlikely he'll win.. He'll probably get anihilated like when he ran last time.. Manny's a great boxer but doesn't know anything about politics!

Of course he will. He is like god in the Phillipines It's all about Manny Pacquiao over there. Not much else unoriginal. adam carolla tried that and paid dearly.

in the blue corner, 7 division champoin and the reigning and defending WBO champion, recognized as #1 pound for pound, the FIGHTING CONGRESSMAN from the Philippines, Manny.... PACMAN... PAaacquiaoooooooo! LOL.

He's leading the survey....but that's according to Jinkee. Local reliable survey companies says otherwise. But who knows, an FOE is more inevitable than a Pacquiao win, at the moment. ok, thanks for letting me know. i haven't been able to find an official poll yet online.

At least I know people are going to blame Jinkee if it happens. http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/290728 http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=378274 Pacquiao Ahead on Poll Surveys, Election Win Predicted According to Manny Pacquiao's lovely wife Jinkee, her husband is ahead on poll surveys as the election day draws near. The Filipino boxing champ is running for the second time as a lone district congressman for his province of Sarangani, Philippines. Barely three weeks before election day, poll surveys reveal Manny Pacquiao is ahead of his political rival for the lone congressional seat in Sarangani province in southern Philippines. Pacquiao's good showing in poll survey results could be traced to the active participation of his wife Jinkee in the campaign. Jinkee, whose family and relatives are from Sarangani has been actively campaigning in remote areas of the province to help the Filipino boxer in his election bid. “We are actually ahead in the surveys but now we really have to maximize our efforts and time,” Jinkee reveals Pacquiao is running for a congressional post for the second time. He lost the race in his first attempt against a lady congresswoman from General Santos City. Jinkee says she is confident her husband can make a difference—especially in the life of poor residents. “We talked about it and I believe in his good intentions to serve the people of Sarangani,” she says. “Manny and I can’t let our supporters down. The people need help.” During the campaign, Manny Pacquiao told his constituents when asked how he will make a difference as a politician: “I’ll show you how to make a big difference. I want you all to idolize me not just in the ring but above all, in public service,” Pacquiao tells the crowd in Glan town on Thursday. The boxing superstar has delivered issue-based speeches on the campaign trail. He shuns personal attacks practiced by traditional politicians. Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum earlier announced he will fly to the Philippines onto Sarangani to show his support to the Filipino boxer's fight outside the boxing ring. Arum is very popular in the Philippines for having helped budding Filipino boxers in their quest for excellence in the sports of boxing. The topnotch boxing promoter is much more popular In General Santos City and Sarangani where Pacquiao and his family maintain residence.

I don't live in the Philippines but from the last article, they're saying he's winning on the polls. Don't really believe it.

I'm afraid so. IMO he shouldn't run for congress (or whatever it is) before he retired though.

I dont know, but I'm being selfish and hope he loses so we can see more of him in the ring
