PACMAN RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES; NO CAMPAIGN NEEDED JUST CIRCULATE THIS VIDEO
Pacquiao thinks he can win the presidency because of his celebrity status, since recent Philippine elections had celebrities (those with brand names) running for that highest of government posts - Fernando Poe Jr., his daughter Grace and of course Benigno Aquino 3rd.
That in fact has been the fatal weakness of our modern democracy, because media has been able to spread the celebrities' name throughout the land, and fool voters that their persona, their image, is their real persons, i.e., the movie hero FPJ as the hero who would save the country, FPJ's daughter as continuing his fight, and the son of the saints of democracy as "not falling far from the tree." I suspect one of Pacman's campaign lines would be "Patutumbahin ko ang kahirapan."
