The 41-year-old boxing legend stands as an icon in his home country and has held a position serving as a senator since 2016.
Due to his status as the nation’s most famous man, many have speculated that Pacquiao would look to advance his political career after retiring from boxing and target the presidency.
Rodrigo Duterte is the current incumbent, with the election to decide his successor scheduled for May 9, 2022.
Arum said in a conversation with WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman: “The first president I think we’ll get as a fighter is little Manny Pacquiao, who told me, once again.
“I did a Zoom telephone call with him, ‘Bob, I’m gonna run in 2022 and, when I win, I want you there at my inauguration.'”
As things stand, Pacquiao is still an active fighter and has no plans to retire as yet.
The eight-weight champion conqured the world all over again last July as he dethroned Keith Thurman to claim the WBA welterweight title.
Recently, Arum divulged that he’s targeting a unification bout between Pacquiao and Terence Crawford later this year – hence why they were speaking on a Zoom call.
Although Pacquiao is no longer promoted by Arum, the pair may come together one last time for a major fight before Pacquiao moves on to an election battle.
Yuck yuck yuck....please lang
ReplyDeleteBoboto ko yan. Di yan magnanakaw.
ReplyDeleteutang na loob wag kayong tatanga tanga nakakainit kayo ng ulo jusme ayan nanaman tayo guys! hindi lang basta "hindi magnanakaw" ang may alam dyan, jusme hindi ka nga nagnanakaw pero yung mga kapartido mo paiikot ikotin ka lang. hindi ko nilalait si manny pero the way he answered sa mga interviews kulang siya nun.
Delete12:10 ang mga politician magaling magtago ng mga ninakaw nila. Kung hndi sila, ibang tao n kasama s kanyang bracket.
DeleteThis is just my opinion, I have nothing against Manny. Mabait siya, tumutulong sa tao. However, those qualities are not sufficient enough to run for presidency. It's too early. I'm also not questioning his sincerity because i can sense he is naman when he's helping people. For me, i would choose someone who has integrity. Who will listen to opinions and options but will make decision based on what he feels is right and will then be liable for the outcome of his/her decision. Yung pag nagkamali, aakuin niya and will not blame anyone else. Mga kababayan ko. When election day comes, let us think back on this day during pandemic and reflect kung anong klaseng president, senators, congressmen and lgus ang kailangan natin. Wag muna natin pairalin kung sino ang sikat at may pera. Let's choose wisely. Naniniwala ako, matalino at may puso ang Pinoy 👍
Delete1:27 Bakit ba nakikialam ka sa gusto ng ibang tao? Iboto mo gusto mong iboto and let others vote whoever they want. Magkaka iba ang tao ng gusto kaya utang na loob din sarili mo ang pakialaman mo wag iba.
DeleteNababaitan din aq kay Manny.Sincere sya pero napakalaking responsibilidad ang pagiging president baka ang iupo ni Manny yong mga kadikit nya na kasa kasama sa boxing.Madali sya paikutin pag ganon at later on marami na magagalit sa kanya bec of incompetence.
DeleteSenador na lang uli pwede pa.
11:46 ur comment is one of the reason we're doom. Yes, may kanyang kanya tayo utak pero nman, napakababaw nman ng rason ni 12:10 to vote for Manny. Ang daming magagaling n aktor s pulitika. Mas magaling pa sila s mga tunay n aktor. Magaling din sila s pagtatago ng mga bagay bagay. Kung hndi tyo magkakaroon ng kritikal n pag iisip, babagsak lalo ang ating bansa
Delete12:14 Hindi din tama na pakialaman mo ang gusto ng ibang tao. Ikaw ba matutuwa ka if pakikialaman ka sa decisions mo. Malay mo for others tingin din nila mali ka same as tingin mo mali sila so matuto ka na lang rumespeto at let others do what they think is right for them
Delete12:14 Hindi din tama na pakialaman mo ang gusto ng ibang tao. Ikaw ba matutuwa ka if pakikialaman ka sa decisions mo? Malay mo for others tingin din nila mali ka same as tingin mo mali sila so matuto ka na lang rumespeto at let others do what they think is right for them
DeleteTeh, 12:39 and 12:38. Buhay ng buong pilipino ang pinag uusapan dito. Domino effect itong usapan s pulitika, lalo n s voting. Kung hindi TAYONG LAHAT magkakaroon ng kritikal thinking at makakaisa, babagsak tyong lahat. Well, bagsak n tyo since napakaincompentent and useless ng mga nanalo (Like BATO DELA ROSA) at tyo ang nagdudusa gawa nila at gawa ng mga bobotante.
Delete12:38 bat ganyan mindset mo? hindi yan celebrity na kanya kanya tayo ng otp jusme politician yan dyan nakasalalay future natin mag isip ka naman. harsh na kung harsh pero yang ganyang mentality lagi yung pinapairal pag botohan na. porket sikat, nakapagpabango ng pangalan before election yun na ivovote no wonder kaya maraming buwaya dito kasi ang daming gullible. tandaan mo yang vote mo nakasalalay din future ko dyan safe as nakasalalay future mo sa vote ko so hindi pwedeng kanya kanya tayo ng paniniwala.
Delete12:10 hindi lang naman mabait ang dapat characteristic ng isang President. kailangan kasi tama yung educational attainment for the position para ndi siya ma utakan ng mga naka paligid sa kanya. please, let's vote for someone who's experienced and is well educated.
DeleteBakit macocontrol nyo ba ang gusto ng tao? Hilig nyo makialam. Vote nyo na lang gusto nyo pero do not dictate. Wala din naman papasa sa inyo. Kahit sino naman maging presidente hindi papasa sa standards nyo.
DeleteBoboto ko yan over Sarah
ReplyDeletesana naman may iba pang tatakbo dahil hindi pang kengkoy ang gobyerno.
DeleteGibo for president.
DeletePag si gibo kadikit nya si Gloria pero magaling si gibo.
DeleteOh well papel, alam kong may puso sya sa masa, madaming natutulungan kaya hindi ko alam kung kakayanin nya maging presidente if ever manalo, I suggest stay out of politics na lang manny, be a philantrophist na lang mas ok pa yun.
ReplyDeletePagtatawanan na Lang tayo pag ito ang naging president. Imagine maglalaro pa Yan ha.
ReplyDeletePagtatawanan na Lang tayo pag ito ang naging president. Imagine niyo lalaban pa Yan ng boxing, gagawa ng pelikula, magrerecord ng album habang nakapwesto sa malacanang. Kaloka!
ReplyDeletePinagtawanan nga nila si Trump nung tumakbo..nabaliktad siya nanalo at maging presidente pa
Delete12:15 were been laughing stock even before.
DeleteOh Lord. Please don't let it happen or this country will be in a downward spiral.
ReplyDeleteSana sabay sabay tumakbo ang mga kampon ni Duterte para hati hati ang boto.
ReplyDeleteKaya nga. Sara, Alan Peter, Bong Go tapos Pacquiao. Tulad nung nagyari nung 2016 na nagkahati-hati boto ng mga ayaw kay Duterte.
Delete12:17 talo tyo dyan kasi kahit sino manalo s kanila, sila (as a group) are still the true winner.
DeleteNaku di na aq boboto pag ganon.
DeleteMagtatanong sa mga advisors niyang pastor every time haharap sa Tao. Tapos iququote ang Bible sa mga SONA. My gulay pilipinas.
ReplyDelete12:19 Anong masama na ibase nya sa salita ng Diyos ang pamamalakad nya? Gusto mo ba kalabanin ang Diyos by saying that?
Delete1:52 am simple lang, separation of the state and church. labas na ako sa kung ano man ang paniniwala ni Manny pero hindi pwedeng patakbuhin ang bansa base sa pansariling paniniwala dahil magiging bias ang judgement mo. Hindi din lahat ng Filipino ay katoliko. Magiging inclusive ang gobyerno kung ang magiging pamantayan ay personal beliefs lamang
Delete1:52 ang masama hndi p sya ready to be this country president.
DeleteTruth 7:44. Paano nlng ang mga brothers and sisters natin s Mindanao n kung saan majority ay mga Muslim?? Left out nlng ganyun??
Delete12:19 Hindi lang Kristyano at Katoliko ang relihiyon sa bansa. Marami ring Muslim sa atin.
DeleteOver the top ang confidence ni Manny. Hindi nga makasagot nang maayos sa mga debate sa senado, eto naman at presidente ang puntirya. Sana may magadvice sa kanya na kung ano lang ang kaya ng pagiisip, hanggang doon lang ang ambisyunin.
ReplyDeletepwede itong VP pero wag na sana mag presidente.
Deletelol even as a VP, no no! try nya muna as a councilor or study study study, sobrang hilaw na hilaw pa. If he wanted to help people, there ar emore ways than trying to be a government official
DeleteKung naririnig ako ng past ko maloloka siguro, pero yung performance, common sense, at effort na pinakita ni pacquiao, he's the better "evil" talaga ngayon. Grace Poe sobrang lumabas yung ano sya, Sarah Duterte? A big No na lahat ng Duterte for me and to think tatay nya sinuportahan ko na wow mali ako. Sana si GiBo tumakbo ulit
ReplyDeleteGusto ko din si GiBo. Okay naman si Manny kasi alam natin na mabuti ang intention para sa Pilipinas pero hindi niya kayang kontrolin ang mga tao sa gobyerno. Baka maliitin siya at mag take advantage sila.
Delete12:30 Voted for Gibo too. Sana tumakbo siya ulit. Ayoko na ng yellow at duterte admin.
DeleteAlamin muna natin line up ng cabinet secretaries ng tatakbong presidente bago natin iboto. Kahit ano kasing buti ng isang tao kung napapaligiran ng mga gahaman wala din.
DeleteNooooooo!!!
ReplyDeleteMy gadddd Pilipinas. Be smart and dont ever vote for this guy!!! 🤢🤮
ReplyDelete@12:33 He's not a thief and he has compassion for the poor so I will vote for him.
Deletewalang kakayanan. Kumbaga sa prutas, hilaw pa.
Delete1:50pm. hindi enough yan. kelangan natin ng leader. please naman for once!! taas taasan naman natin standards natin. please!!!
Delete1:50 but he doesnt have enough knowledge and skill to take the president role. Im 100% sure n maraming didikit s kanya para and control him for their personal goals.
Delete@1:50 just because he has compassion for the poor doesn't mean he will make a great president. Itatak sa ulo ang dulot ng pandemic sa ating gobyerno. It exposed their lack of leadership, strategy, and corruption. We need a better leader. Maawa tayo sa inang bayan.
DeleteSus! As if may magaling na presidente para sa inyo. Lahat naman ng umupo hindi pasado sa inyo patawa itong mga ito. Pustahan tayo kahit sino pa maging presidente may masasabi at masasabi kayo.
Delete11:50 Pra s akin, ok sana si meriam kasi tunay n may paninindigan, kaya kalaban ang mga corrupt, and she proven herself not just here in ph, but to world. Sayang nga lng kasi nmatay. RIP madam
Delete11:37, tumpak! yan ang ndi ko maintindihan na ndi ma gets ng ibang Pinoy. ngayon palang nga madami na dumi dikit kay Manny, need proof? manood kayo sino sino mga tao o politicians nasa entourage niya pag may laban siya boxing abroad. nakaka pangilabot sa totoo lang.
Deletejust no, iuupo ka lang para maging puppet o tuta, so no, magpahinga ka na, enyoy your riches, travel and stay away from politics.
ReplyDeleteYan din naisip ko gagawin tong puppet if ever manalo siya jusko may pag asa pa ba Pilipinas 😢
Delete2:33 mukhang Wala ng pagasa pilipinas kong mahal.... not in our lifetime.
DeleteWal na, 2:33. Parami ng parami ang mga bobotante.
Deletehe's a good person but I think he can be easily manipulated
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm afraid of.
DeleteJinkee makes more sense than him
ReplyDeleteNandyan nman si jinkee pero mas malakas hatak sa kumbinsi ng mga kadikit ni Manny, maging happy na lang sya sana sa family nya,wag na tumakbo for president.hanga aq sa pagiging matulungin nya pero wag sa presidency tumakbo.
DeleteNakita na galawan ng present govt wag na bomoto ng kaalyado sa sunod,sa iba nman tayo bomoto baka this time magaling na mamuno.
i'm actually ok with him. basta ang importante matapos na si tatay nyo, masaya na ko.
ReplyDeleteThe best boxer in the world. But please don't aspire to be the next president of the country.
ReplyDeleteNung nakita ko mga mind conditioning posts about Pacman sa fb nahulaan ko ng tatakbo yan for president with the help of Jack Ma.
ReplyDeleteThen we need to be prepared for the Chinese invasion
DeleteAnd why the hell would china invade us? If they must invade an asian country it should be those they share land border with like Vietnam maybe even thailand.
Delete5:05 because our location is strategic in terms of how the world is divided right now. Hence hindi tayo niliberate ng mga amerikano and took over the spanish instead, at kaya pinaggyerahan tayo ng mga hapon at amerikano nung WW2 to the point na wasak na wasak ang pilipinas because of a war that we shouldn't even be a part of. Our country being independent (and more inclined to ally with the west) is the only thing that's holding china back from overtaking the US.
DeleteFor crying out loud!! Maawa ka sa Pinas
ReplyDeletePacman has the heart to serve. Pero kulang ng experience. Ending, papatakbuhin na naman Ang Pilipinas ng sandamakmak na advisers na puro May vested interests. Hay, Pilipinas kong mahal.
ReplyDeleteHeart ka dyan. Tama yung nasa taas na comment. BFF ni Pac Man si Jack Ma. Be aware naman sa mga connect connect.
DeleteAhm, I don't get it... Anong interest naman ni jac ma sa pilipinas?
DeleteNot a presidential candidate but better than most of the senators this administration
ReplyDeleteHe has no time o screw up. He's never there. Always absent.
DeletePeople saying that billionaire politicians will not steal government's money are naive. Please tell me you're joking.
ReplyDeleteExactly when his boxing money runs out, how do you think he’ll continue getting money...🙃
DeleteTrue. Hindi ko din maintindihan yung thinking na ganito. I mean, why not vote for someone na marunong talaga mag-lead.
Delete2:29 korek! sa totoo lang, lalo if they have different businesses, madami sila pwedeng gawin in favor sa kanila.
DeleteOk sya as a person since mukha nman syang mabait and laging nagdodonate. But as a pres, i pass. For me, not enough p.
ReplyDeleteDapat wala ng Presidente WALA ng gobyerno tayo tayo na lang ang talino kaya ng mamamayan bow!
ReplyDeleteOh God no!
ReplyDeleteEto na naman ang Pilipinas di na natuto! Sus naman Pacquiao lahat na lang pinasok mo. Ano ba Pinas pera pera na lang ba usapan?
ReplyDeleteOmg, that’s like national suicide for the whole country.
ReplyDeleteLol, he knows absolutely nothing about anything. Disaster yan.
ReplyDeleteLol, he can’t even manage his tax situation. How will he manage this poor and corrupt country?
ReplyDeleteJuicekolawrd!
ReplyDeleteThat would mean more disaster and chaos to this hopeless country. Dig your own grave pinas.
ReplyDeleteJuicecolored, maawa naman kayo sa pinas, wala na ba talagang qualified candidate for president.
ReplyDeleteWhy is pinas so awful and horrible like this? We never grow, we never evolve. It’s the same nonsense over and over again, forever.
ReplyDeleteIboboto ko yan. Hindi magnanakaw, madaming bills na pinasa sa senado, may puso para sa tao, at edukado
ReplyDelete8:05 but easy to manipulate. Still no
DeleteHe's not a thief. Ganyan din ang galawan ni duterte noon. Kesyo maayos daw sa davao. Anyari?
ReplyDeleteTruth, 9:12. Ang dami tlgang bobotante ngayon
DeleteNowadays di natin kailangan ng topnotcher, kailangan natin may malasakit
ReplyDeleteDiba slogan yan ni Duterte. Tapang at malasakit. Well, look at us now. LoL.
DeleteI will not be surprised if he is going to win. Hahaha! Tabang mga langit!
ReplyDeleteYung mga nagsabi ng NO to Sara Duterte, panghahawakan ko yan ha! Promise nyo yan ha! No more maangas politicians pls!
ReplyDeleteTlga, 10:32. I'll never vote her or anyone from their group. Hndi kasi ako bobotante
DeleteHe proved me wrong as a Senator pero Manny wag naman presidente.. Experience munA baka may chance at extend your knowledge in public service.
ReplyDeleteHis philanthropy is one thing but being a president needs more than that. Look at where we are now when we used our emotions for voting. Magiging tuta ng China na tayo kapag ipagpatuloy natin to
ReplyDeleteThis is my take, I have nothing against MP. He's a good human being, but this is our country we're talking about. At this point of too much crisis we're having now, I don't think MP is ripe already for this huge responsibility. Maybe after 6 years or more.
ReplyDeletePag tumakbo talaga to mataas chance manalo. Jusko ang daming voters na basta idol at kilala na name iboboto. Sana maging matalino na ang mga tao next election.
ReplyDeletesakaling manalo sya at payagan pa magkaroon ng fight...don talaga ko sa kung pano ang intro sa kanya..
ReplyDeletethe President of the Phils...
the Fighting President..haayysss
Dick Gordon for President!
ReplyDeletePATAY TAYO JAN MANANALO TO SIGURADO HAHAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteUtang na loob!!! Matuto na sana sa pagkakamali sa pagboto kay Duterte. May paandar na 3-6 months wala ng corrupt at krimen. Juskooo 4 na taon na puro walanghiya parin nasa gobyerno! Pinakitaan lang na kumakain sa karinderya at kumakain ng simpleng pagkain nahumaling na! We need a leader who knows how to lead! We have to see kaninong interes ang mga desisyong ginagawa ng lider. Baka si Manny puro bible teachings ang iinvoke. That's serving the interest of a religious group and not really on the basis of sound and data-based policy making.
ReplyDeleteSorry pero mukhang mananalo talaga si manny kasi gusto sya ng mga hudyo which is one factor kung ba't nanalo some of our former leaders tapos ngayon pati powerful chinese gusto sya. Bob Arum is jewish. Si Sara naman half-jewish... ewan ko kung anong mangyayari.
ReplyDeleteJusko nakakahiya
ReplyDeleteThat would be a disaster for the country. Not acceptable. Ever.
ReplyDeleteYikes, that would be a nightmare. That should never happen. Doomsday na yan.
ReplyDeleteVico Sotto or Mayor Isko pwede pa as president. NO to Pacquiao. He’s a nice guy
ReplyDeletebut that’s not enough . Have we not learned our lesson ? This time,let’s do it right.
