What's your opinion on that..Manny Pacquiao declare to enter the world of politics here in Philippines. And he would be run for local position on his hometown. Did Manny Pacquiao made a right decision? for me it is obviously that he and those politicians around him will use his popularity to attract voters for their own benefits. And not only that, because Manny Pacquiao has the ability to provide election fund..2Million pesos for campaign budgets? why not? It's gonna be easy for him to provide that amount. But the real question is can be Manny Pacquiao a good leader? I don't think so..Maybe in the right time when he get retire from boxing. cause right now? he is still in the middle of his boxing career and his popularity can make a difference on election day. Cause some voters only looks on the popularity of one candidate. Is he deserve to vote?

aside from that..it will affect his image.People knows Manny Pacquiao as boxing champ, peoples champ and inspirational type person. He brought our country on top of the world of sports. These makes him a good individual person and he is a hero. But now entering politics it makes a negative effect on his image.Hope he realize that..

What the fcku is happening to our country? It's a freaking circus...do we ever learn. It's a shame, yes you're totally right it's so obvious that these people behind Manny is just using him...and his letting these people use him. Manny is a great boxer that's what he does, and i give props to him men...he's an amazing athlete but now he want to be a politician too...come on give me a break so I can poke to your head and make you realize you're freaking dreaming.

This i think would not be a wise decision by Manny Paquiao. Because he is scheduled to fight a Korean boxer, this will hamper his training schedules for the fight, and also his concentration. We know he has a good purpose in running in politics but I think it can wait, he is still young after all

Absolutely it will affect his training.Well if he lost the fight, he has something to blame, Politics and those who convince him to run.If he wants to help and serve people why he don't try to help and serve as an individual or concern citizen without the mark any political interest. Boxing is his world today..Politics can wait for him.but boxing career can't wait..
