"Someone asked me about the current choice that is given to us in the presidential election." I said, "Well, it's like two of the scary movies that I can imagine. "- Dean Koontz
NEW YORK CITY – Do not be afraid.
The polloi hoi in the Philippines has not sent Fernando star action "Da King" Poe Jr. in Malacañang in 2004 partly because of the scandal "Hello Garci"
Come 2022 presidential election, will they try again and succeed when the boxing icon Emmanuel "Manny" Pacquiao becomes a candidate?
Like "Da King", Pacquiao is identified with masa, "mamang sorbetero", "isang kahig, isang tuka" and bakya crowd.
When Poe "died" in the film, some of his fans were literally exploded (This was happening somewhere in Mindanao when Poe was not yet a presidential candidate, according to some reports.)

Candidates like Pacquiao, Mo Cha Uson, Dolphy, Poe, Erap easily reach Paydirt in the Philippines.
Article VII, Section 2 of the 1987 Constitution states that no one may be elected President unless he is a natural born citizen of the Philippines, registered voter, able to read and write. Write, aged at least 40 years old on election day and residing in the Philippines for at least 10 years.
Pacquiao, who will turn 40 on December 17, 2018, be qualified to run in 2022 under the Philippine charter.

At least two prominent leaders known throughout the world have predicted Pacquiao's rise to Malacañang in the near future.
They were Bob Arum in sport and President Rodrigo R. Duterte in the government
I personally heard Arum predict and approve new welterweight champion WBA Pacquiao during his conquest of Oscar De La Hoya in Las Vegas in 2008.
"Because of his popularity and the pride and fame that he has given to the Philippines, Manny (Pacquiao) will certainly be the next president of the Philippines," said Arum, a lawyer, at the pre-fight press conference, ten years ago.
During Pacquiao's 38th birthday in 2016, Duterte asked Pacquiao to retire after the demolition of Lucas Martin Mathysse in Kuala Lumpur on July 15, 2018, told the crowd in the young senator's party that "with your own style , alam ko na magiging presidente ka rin Ipagpatuloy moang ginagawa mo (I know that you will also one day become president, continue what you do). "
Pacquiao's popularity among the same quality and elasticity as Poe, former president and now mayor of Manila Joseph "Erap" Estrada, former Senators Lito Lapid, Revilla Ramon Revilla, Bong Revilla and President Duterte's overwhelming voice, has snowballed now that he has bagged the WBA 147-lb Tiara and it should provide fans with more excitement and entertainment when it defends its title.

Now that Pacquiao has revealed that he is not resigning again as a boxer at 39, he will be promoted by his own MP, Promotions without the need of "… Arum imprimatur and without any curfew. Freddie Roach, that would give him the means to consolidate his political means and accumulate more millions of dollars for his campaign kitty.
Fans almost forgot and even forgave Pacquiao for his dull performance against Jeff Horn and for hiding an injury to the shoulder by losing unanimous decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr. which cost those who placed bets for him millions of pesos. The way his seventh knockout victory against the Argentine dynamo was received by adored fans in the Philippines could be a tell-tale sign and message for other presidential candidates holding a doctorate and a Harvard for start shaking in their boots.
