if he's voted in he's voted in. if he does a bad job simple enough he wont get voted back in. its not like he got voted in and he's in there the rest of his life.
That has nothing to do with it. The point is, he got elected based popularity. Not on qualifications, but on popularity in a sport.
That is wrong. It's like voting for Mike Tyson to become the US President based on his popularity.
Who the f*ck cares? :lol1:
The man is using his position to fight human trafficking, build hospitals, build universities, feed the poor, pay people's expenses, etc a lot of it out of pocket... and you think he's a bad congressman because they'll take 5 min out of the government's time and a couple of pesos to make Freddie Roach a citizen?
Seems like you're just looking for any reason to hate.
What's your problem, man? Why are you turning this into a personal attack against me?
And what makes Pacquiao so qualified to be a Congressman?
There's people in the Philippines who dedicate their lives trying to become part of Congress, but instead the opportunity goes to a prizefighter based on popularity?
he didn't make that bill.
some other dude in the congress did.
guy is just trying to get in the news.
manny doesn't need to.
All the news sites say it was Pacquiao who introduced the bill. Unless you can prove otherwise..
At the end of the day, Pacquiao should be helping the people of the Philippines. Not doing a favor for a buddy of his from another country.
This is an outrage.
And he's only been on the job a handful of months. This man is doing things for his people that transcend sport, stop the hate.
I admit that those are great things, if they're true. But he still does some very unprofessional things.
Introducing a bill for his foreign friend? Like seriously.. what good is that gonna do?
didn't pac say in his interview that he didn't introduce the bill?
it's not a favor. what does roach need to be a philippine citizen for?
it's an honorary thing.
That interview was in English and we all know Pacquiao doesn't speak English that well.
So what are we going to believe? Paquiao saying that in a language in which he's known to make a lot of mistakes, or him saying that he DID introduce the bill HIMSELF in his native language?
