Manny Pacquiao Not Happy As A Senator, Will Return To Boxing

July 12, 2016 Pol Pinoy 2 Comments

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Newly-installed Philippine Senator Manny Pacquiao regrets having been elected by 16 million Filipinos and wants to return to his boxing career as early as this fall.

The Philippines Daily Inquirer is reporting that Top Rank CEO Bob Arum told Boxingscene.com that Pacquiao is looking for another opponent for a possible return fight and is working with Senate President Franklin Drilon to figure out how to go on a leave of absence to train.

The champion boxer and former top absentee congressman was originally slated to fight Adrien Broner but the American asked for a price Arum can’t afford.

Top Rank has made a pencil reservation for October 15 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas for Pacquiao’s possible return.

The Adobo Chronicles caught up with Pacquiao while he was jogging around the Elliptical Circle in Quezon City and asked him what his longer term plans were.

The senator said that because he was elected by the people, it would not be kosher for him to voluntarily step down. “I’m meeting with Senator (and former Aquino administration Justice Secretary) Leila de Lima who promised to help by initiating impeachment proceedings against me. Until such time, I will have to be absent from my senate duties to train and prepare for my next fight,” Pacquiao said.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Kentucky – Christians all over the world know the biblical story of Noah’s Ark, built by a man who receivecd an apocalypatic warning from God about a massive flood.

Today, in Williamstown, Kentucky, a 510-foot-long (155 metre-long) wooden model of the ark is attracting thousands of curious tourists who are treated to a unique experience of what it may have looked like inside the biblical ark — complete with animal displays mimicking the famous story in the bible.

Answers in Genesis, the ministry that built the ark, said the ship’s dimensions are based on those described in the bible — 85ft (26m) wide and 51ft (15m) high.

The new attraction charges an average of $40 for a one-time admission.

But there is a big problem.

Many museum-goers, once inside the ark, are refusing to leave. They told The Adobo Chronicles that they believe another big flood is coming and that the only way they can be spared from this Armageddon is to stay inside the ark. They said that global warming is reponsible for this impending deluge.
