i hope someway somehow paquiao would realize that joining politics would be the biggest event coming to his life, this things might ruin his career,i hope he realize that he can be able to help filipino people without politics? politics here in the philippines seems not so good but instead they are all have their own interest why they wanted
to join and sad to say thats the truth and reality right now here in the philippines.
Lets all pray for paquiao to think it over so he can still hold his good name infront of the world who idolized him.

he can help even without politics. he can set up a foundation to help the needy. or put up small businesses to provide jobs. or he can host regular medical missions for the poor. he doesn't need to be in politics to help. he's just being used by those greedy politicians and it seems Manny loves it. i really can't believe he is blind to realize it.

For me Pacquiao ruined his boxing career. He should not have joined politics. He can help people by not engaging in dirty politics. It is evident that he's using his popularity as a well known boxer. If he is not known as a boxer, will he enter politics? By that alone, he's already showing that he's an opportunitist. He could help others in many ways. He need not enter politics.

That's true. I mean, he can help in his own little ways with the money that he's earned from his boxing tournaments. I think he's easily persuaded by the people around him considering that there are many of them who would want Pacquiao to join the politics. His reputation as a Filipino and a boxing champion has given enough courage and hope for Filipinos, but him as a politician? I think he's just going to ruin everything he's earned from the beginning, even his own reputation and integrity.

I think Manny needs to really think about his plans. Politics is way, way different from sports and he might not know the ins and outs just yet. It'll be a new world for him and he might just end up asking help from various consultants and lawyers and what-have-yous. Manny has been doing a great job in helping others. I'm just scared that his joining the politics this year was just because he was pressured by people around him who have inner agenda.

I'm on your side my good griend. Pacquiao in fact had helped the Filipinos in raising up and be acknowledged to the whole world by winning it in the boxing arena. But Pacquiao is one person that can easily be persuaded. He is one person who seemed to give value for "UTANG NA LOOB". Because Mayor Atienza who is a pro administration had helped him a lot and supported him a lot from the beginning, thus he cannot turned his back to them. and that is why these politicians are taking advantage of him.
