Just saw this on the trailer on ESPN. Manny is going to run for governor in a province in the Philipines, if he wins he will not fight in 2013. Interesting announcement.
He is the main spokesperson for the SAVE program which would bolster the garment industry and increase exports to the U.S. (it would need both U.S. and Philippine congressional approval) which is why I think he went out of his way to meet with Harry Reid during the Mosley fight buildup, it was to strengthen his ties with powerful U.S. politicians. So obviously that would pour billions into the industry and create jobs, helping the common people as well as the government. He's also championing a raise in minimum wage laws.
He also initiated a government program that allocates land to farmers and boats/supplies to fisherman to bolster both agriculture and fishing in his province. So while his programs are philanthropic and he personally puts up money many times, he goes through the political channels for his initiatives. Even the Hospital he built, he had to lobby for government funds to cover the majority of the costs and his endorsement of other programs earned his province 7 ambulances (where they had 0 before).
So the man is putting in the work in his political job, it's not just talk and empty promises. He should have absolutely no issue getting that governorship in 2013.
Sounds good to me! Great job
his running for governor guys, if dirty harry and conan the barbarian can be governors it aint too bad for a boxer to be one...
I just hope when and if PAC retires he retires for good, no comebacksm just enjoy his neew life...
The underlined are great things kudos to Manny for that. But those are philantrophy types of things. Manny didn't need to be an elected official to do those things. As for the bold what are these programs, are they programs that needed to be voted for where a plan with projections were put together to show how it would help the people and the government.
I am not saying these things to downgrade or be disrespectful to Manny cause giving his own money to build a hospital and relocate homeless families are GREAT things. But Bill Gates gives billions of dollars away to causes like Manny is doing but Bill Gates didn't run for office to do it. I don't know Philipine politics not gonna act like I know it but it seems to me that maybe Manny could of put his money behind someone schooled in politics and got those samethings done without being an elected official.

He made a deal a few months ago to swap jobs with the governor of his province in 2013 so it's already a done deal. He's already done a lot in his first year+ as congressman including recently breaking ground on the first hospital in the province and personally paying for the relocation of 100 families who were homeless following a tsunami, among other programs he's initiated to alleviate poverty.

i know right...well, to big dunn, if your a womanizer , youre automaticlly a corrupt politician...but your exempted from that "rule of thumb"(big duns atleast) if your an american ....nice logic , aint it?...
WHat about the taking of money while under contract, thats why he would be a corrupt politician. The cheating just shows he's not a real good guy as depicted. He's like ODH, except I don't believe manny does coke and wears fishnet.
Well atleast Arnold was college educated and was a very successful business man. Wtf does Pacquiao know other than condom should be banned because God said "go forth and multiply."
:lol1::lol1:
Arnold became governor of California. People are stupid. People love celebrities.

Not only arnold but Jessie Ventura. Sonny Landham also ran for office but never got elected.
Kinda bad when people want to elect a guy with no education who gets punched in the head for a living to higher and higher political offices just because they love him.

Just look at what Adam Carolla said on some random internet webcast...it prompted a response from their President :rofl: Seriously Philippines must be a really sucky place.
thats the word that best describes your ignorance and confirmed youre stupid now GTFOH
Miss pacman is just afaid to fight Floyd. When Manny's boxing career is done THEN he should start all this Governor/politics shlt. Until then be a boxer and focus on boxing without any distractions. Clearly his an idiot for not waiting it out till after he's done with boxing.
Are you kidding?? All the case members of Predtor should hold public office, because they were some badasses.

Apollo Creed's got my vote whenever he decides to run for Governor.
I know what a retarded country!

When the polls open you know Floyd is gonna fly down there with everybody he knows (assuming he is not in jail and allowed to leave the country) and will vote right when the polls open for Pacquiao.
He is the ATG at duckin and dodgeing already has his plane ticket booked.
Kinda bad when people want to elect a guy with no education who gets punched in the head for a living to higher and higher political offices just because they love him.
kinda more badder when some people feels so much affected with his political decisions when theyre not living around the area and definitely not a constituent because it is only obvious that only hates evoke such feelings.
Pacquaio should be President of the Philippines!
not gonna happen....thats way out of his league...the chances of that happening are as good as charlie zellnof becoming the next p4p king....
