Reports surfaced that Senator Manny Pacquiao intends to run for president in the 2022 elections and this is his reaction to this.
The next presidential elections have become a hot topic as the polling comes closer. Several names have already surfaced as being speculated to run for the presidency. One of those names belong to the boxing champ-turned-politician.
Previously, speculations surfaced that Pacquiao and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno will be running mates in the next polling as they were spotted together having dinner.

In a recent report, Senator Panfilo ‘Ping’ Lacson said that his seatmate in the Senate, intended to run for the highest political position in the Philippines. The older lawmaker said that the boxing champ has approached him several times and asked help regarding his plan to run for president, especially when it comes to budget.

In line with this, journalist Paolo Romero of The Philippine Star shared this short video of Senator Manny Pacquiao addressing the reports saying that he intends to run for president.
“Ang pagiging presidente ay destiny na kaloob ng Panginoon. Marami nang nangarap at marami na rin ang nabigo ngunit ang hangad ko sa susunod na maging presidente ay may tunay na malasakit at tunay na pagmamahal sa mamamayang Pilipino,” the boxing champ said.
He also called out to the public stop “ang kulay sa pulitika” as he stressed the compassion towards Filipino people.
