He could have run for President if he beat Mayweather. ****, he might have been able to declare himself God-Emperor.

Why would Manny run for Senate if his tenure as "Congressman" was "lackluster?" But more importantly, what kind of politician with any sort of principle (or intellect) has to determine what Party he's part of if he's already been actively serving in the Filipino Congress?

And he got out-smarted my floy, lol. He couldnt even run his own boxing career and he's trying to be a senator? Why hasnt someone taken over those islands? Oh my bad we own them, lol, let me quote a man pac looks up to, "Its ****ed up over there" lol If they believed that "saltwater"cure they'll believe anything. Pac for president of the island, the professor or mr howell will probably beat him though vote mary ann.

He'll join a political party, take their money, then run off to the other political party, thus starting a cold war between the two parties. If confronted Manny will tell them to stop with the crab mentality.

So he been a congressman for how long and don't know which political party he wanna be lol

Can you trust someone who answers a yes or no question incorrectly to be a senator? Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
