he tried to do the same thing last time. The people won't let him leave boxing because they claim that he is to important in the ring and that he serves a better purpose for his country that way. He is so good though, he is reaching his peak and will run out of top contenders soon. I think that it's amazing what he does for his community outside of the ring...

What I don't understand is why we keep having government made up of athletes/actors/etc!

That may be about to change. I'm coming home in a couple of weeks. What about an MFKer for Public office. Just imagine, a monster tank in every corner!

I'd vote for him. Cause I want to see him jump off the white house, dodge the presidential limo, board airforce one the second before it retracts the landing gear, and beat up on his corrupted senate members.

Cause thats what people expect to see if someone like that comes into office.

Politics is a popularity contest and unfortunately, the athletes and actors are the most popular. Some of them end up as good leaders but most of them don't. One word, ERAP.

I believe that being a leader is a skill that is developed through experience and desire. It comes through education, experience, and aim for genuine change.

What I find unusual is that Pacman ran for a different province during the last election and now he's running for another one??? I totally don't get that with Philippine politics.

Ever wonder why Chavit Singson is always with him in his fights? That's right! To those who doesn't know him, he is the shorter Filipino guy who has a bald spot, wears glasses, and always in the post fight interview after Pacman knocks out his opponents. He's a congressman (representative), a filthy rich congressman at that...
