Manny Pacquiao for President

Respectfully, I think he has the capacity and ability to run for public office, given his wealth, political backing, and mass appeal. If Eddie Gil's candidacy was initially affirmed by COMELEC, I don't see any reason why they would not do the same for Pacquiao, considering his known close ties with the powers that be. That said, running the country, if ever he decides to run and get elected, is a totally different matter. If I may ask, by the way, exactly what "special set of skills" should someone running for president have to be considered qualified to run the country, if he/she wins? Thanks!

Ha ha!!! This is a funny topic you post moonchild, thanks for that, you made my day ha ha ha!. Bet you acquired many responses by this question ha ha ha. Well, let me contribute mine... This is what I think... Yes he has a capacity to think since masses of people like him who basically understand him and are like him would possibly vote for him. What can he do for the country... Uhh... Box? Although many politicians would want him to be president I'm sure, since if ever he wins then these politicians now would have a puppet president which is very good instrument for corruption. That's just one of the many. Ha ha! This topic really made my day.

OOOPPSS!!! sorry moonchild! this was meant for the topic starter. sorry. my bad.

We have just witness how he makes decision for himself about his promoters and everything. It created a big fiasco of every sorts of intrigues, network wars and legal battles that loomed over his fight this May. Now try making that on the National Issues of our country. Do you think that kind of a person can be trusted to handle national decisions to be made? I suggest that he focus on what he can do best.

Don't you think, though, that such "big fiasco of every sorts" that his decision created just goes to show how truly influential he is in the lives of the Filipino people? Do you think that one decision could determine whether one would turn out to be a good leader? What if this whole hoopla is just a massive publicity stunt to further hype up his fight with Hatton, since publicity--good or bad--is still publicity? If it is, in fact, just that, don't you think that he's actually wise to come up with such a plan? Also, again, in what way will his running for presidency "totally ruin his standing in our country," rsa101? Thanks in advance for your much valued response!

If I may kindly ask, why do you think that running for president "will totally ruin his standing in our country," rsa101? Thanks for enlightening us!

Do you ever know a boxer who has attained college? If your answer is no, then thats it. Manny Pacquiao doesn't even know how to converse well in English. What will ever happen if he became a president? I suppose he can't make his own decisions for the sake and benefit of the Filipinos. I told this same topic to my bf and he said "Thats insane!"

yeah true it's a big joke.. lol

sophie and knutz, why, if I may ask? Thanks a lot and Happy myLotting!

moreover, he already announced that he will run for congressman in his hometown.he lose once, maybe the second time around?

Manny Pacquiao can't get everything. He must focus on overhauling the sports system in the Philippines and help train young boxers after he retired.

that should be 'with the way he handled' sorry for the typo

Oh, I forgot intellect.lol
