Pacquiao is actually running for Congress!
Wow, I thought this was just talk… but not being present in the Philippines I may be the last to know about this. Still, it shocked and dismayed me that boxer Manny Pacquiao is really running for Congress in the first district of Cotabato.
Read this editorial by the Cagayan de Oro Sun Star:
If Pacquiao were to win, then may God have mercy on us all by guiding him towards making the right decisions and steering away from the path of corruption and opportunism being fostered on him by his “backers.”
Should he lose, may his defeat provide a lesson for all athletes, actors and other celebrities not to use public office as a means to salvage their sinking stars and earn prestige, even more obscene amounts of money while giving the Filipino nothing but their silence or worse, their connivance with the powers that be.
Didn’t he listen to the appeal that so many of us voiced shouted out his way?! Just read the rest of the editorial… This is all I can say…
*there is no smiley for disappointment*

tsk, tsk, tsk …
is there still hope for the Philippine politics?
Only a miracle of God can change things now, but we can’t lose hope can’t we…
!!! Oh, there’s nothing left to say.
There is still a hope for Philippines, “there can be miracles when you believe”, ha ha ha ^_^.. Seriously speaking, even the government has a big impact to our nation’s development,still we can work in our own. We dont have to put our hopes to the hands of the rascals and to the next rascals of our country. We do not have to rebell against them, in the long run,they all go to hell!!! Lets trust God. He will send a new MOSES to set us free from graft and corruption.
STAY HAPPY AND PRETTY!!! WE DONT HAVE TO BOTHER OURSELVES EVEN IF WE ARE THE VICTIMS OF THEIR IRRESPONSIBILITIES AND SELFISHNESS, STILL THEY ARE THE REAL VICTIMS OF THEIR OWBN WEAKNESSES!!!
