Manny Pacquiao accepts party nomination for Philippine presidency

[underpants]

Philippine senator and boxing icon Manny Pacquiao accepted the nomination of the PDP-Laban-Pacquiao faction to run for president in the 2022 Philippine elections scheduled in May.

Pacquiao, who lived a life of poverty before embarking on a boxing career, said it was high time to fight for the poor and eradicate poverty.

"Your time is up! We gave you a chance, but you failed us. We waited for a long time, decades have passed, but nothing happened," Pacquiao said.

PDP-Laban's other faction has nominated Senator Bong Go for president and President Rodrigo Duterte for vice president. Go, however, declined the nomination, while Duterte signified his intention to run for vice president. Under Philippine law, a sitting president cannot seek reelection.

1. If the

Go/Duterte ticket wins look for Duterte to either pull the puppet strings, or Go to resign quickly for "health reasons" putting Duterte back in the president seat. IMHO
