MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Yesterday, we reported that Filipino champion boxer Manny Pacquiao is running for a seat in the Philippine Senate.  But the congressman from Saranggani province has a not-so-perfect record in the House of Representatives.

Pacquiao earned the distinction of racking up the biggest number of absences in the 15th Congress. He was absent for 60 out of the 168 session days, records from the House of Representatives show.

Realizing his attendance record might turn off voters in the 2016 elections, Pacquiao today signed an affidavit promising that if elected senator, he will have a perfect, 100% attendance.

This means that he will hang up his boxing gloves for good, abandon his newly-found career as a basketball playing coach, and give up his fledgling career as Karaoke King.
