I had my doubts about Pacquiao’s political credentials and now I’m pretty much sure that he is silly to be going into politics.

The only problem with this argument is that if everyone followed his advice, politics would be even more corrupt than it is, because no one worthwhile would even try to run.

This will actually be his second time running for office. He lost the first time.

Meh, I read similar things when FPJ ran for office. Articles like this just add to the grandeur of political machines. Just look at Chicago. It wasn’t the first or only political machine in America, but it’s the last one standing because people talk about it in such an “It’s Chinatown” fashion that it’s ridiculous.

The writer, Rafe Bartolomew, is NOT a Filipino. He’s actually an American, who lived shortly in the Philippines (mainly for research) because of his fascination of many things there (Filipinos’ passion for basketball, primarily). But it’s more impressive, because he hit the mark.

Peace. =)
