    why create special laws where in fact you could just act/do an action to help people?

    he has the money to do it... i think he could spend that wisely for other people.
    Yea, he does have money..

    but...

    Money isn't going to solve all of the issues that are on the forefront of the country...and it's going to take some form of lesgislation to get the country back on the A side of development...

      he's gonna take care of saranggani, not the entire philippines.

      what i think he'd do best though is develop sports/boxing in the philippines. we do have brawlers on the street waiting to be discovered and put in to the canvas...

        Look at Alexis Arguello, even when his heart was in the right place it is a difficult thing to deal with with politics. Once you are in there you realize how hard it really is and you can't please everybody no matter how popular you are

          Doesn't Vitaly do a pretty decent job?

            People in Saranggani will tell you they love Pac but ain't voting for him. They're not biting the hand that feeds them, who happens to be Pac's opponent and whose clan owns acres of land.

            No worries, Pac will lose. Good intentions ain't good enough when all you do is feed people instead of teaching them to catch fish.

                Don't know to much of Vitali political position. It might work or not, but politics is a very hard field cause is based on opinion. You might want to do a good deed or law that will help the community and it gets voted down by opposition. I do hope if it works out for him he has the influence to do what is right but more times than not it rarely works out

                  Manny seems to be genuine and has real good intentions about wanting to help people but has ZERO credentials in politics! Spend $$$ on his ppv? Yes.. Vote him into office? HELL NO!
