Pacquiao backs out from candidacy

Manny Pacquiao just decided to heed the call of concerned friends to not run in the coming May elections. This decision also came after being booed by boxing fans in Cebu and efforts by opposing groups to block the support of people in voting people like Pacquiao in the coming elections. Before making this post, I was able to watch on TV about his disgruntled lover planning to approach his opponents and support them. He also began endorsing politicians like Lito Lapid. If Pacquiao still pursues, Comelec will be in a dilemma and currently studying on how to deal with it. Whether he proceeds or not remains to be seen.

It is great to see that Pacquiao is preparing already for his coming April 14 fight. A few are worried that he may not be in top shape due to the numerous distractions he's been getting lately. Although Pacquiao is highly celebrated for his victories, boxing great Mayweather believes he is overhyped.

Pacquiao initially made plans to pursue college education after passing DepEd's Alternative Learning System. I hope he still continues with that and his success can increase support for the said program.
