Manny Pacquiao 2009

By Chris Dinsdale

December 3, 2009 - Philippine boxing champion Manny Pacquiao has submitted his candidacy for the 2010 elections to congress. Pacquiao, phenomenally popular in his homeland having claimed his fifth world boxing title in five different weight classes in November, submitted his nomination as a candidate of his own People’s Champ Movement (PCM) in the province of Sarangani on Mindanao island. It is the second time he has tried to win political office -- he was defeated in the congressional election of 2007.
