FILIPINO CHAMPION BOXER MANNY PACQUIAO IS RUNNING FOR SENATOR, AS PER “GOD’S WILL”

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – GMA News is reporting that Filipino champion boxer Manny Pacquiao has confirmed that he is running for senator of the Philippines, with the blessings of his wife, mother and God.

The congressman from the province of Saranggani follows in the footsteps of Governor from the U.S. State of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, who when he announced he was seeking the Republican nomination for president in the 2016 elections, said it was all “God’s plan.”

The eight-division boxing champ did not say under whose ticket he would run.

His wife Jinky, who is the vice governnor of Saranggani supports his decision, and his mother, Mommy Dionisia, gave her blessing, saying it is God’s will for her son to run for national office.

It wasn’t clear whether or not Pacquiao will retire from boxing as a result of his candidacy. He lost to American Floyd Mayweather in last May’s “Fight of the Century” in Las Vegas.

As a congressman, he holds the distinction of the legislator with the most number of absences. (Well, to be fair, he was out training and fighting).

Back to Scott Walker. He has, since then, dropped out of the U.S. presidential race. Apparently, God’s “plan” changed.

Will God change His mind for Pacquiao as well?

Stay tuned!

WHY MOMMY D WAS MISSING DURING THE PACQUIAO-MAYWEATHER FIGHT

May 4, 2015 Pol Pinoy 1 Comment

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – When Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao last defeated Timothy Bradley, the American accused Pacquiao’s mom, popularly known as Mommy D, of voodooism.

So naturally, the big question at last Saturday’s ‘Fight of the Century’ between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather was : ‘Where was Mommy D?’

It turns out that one of the demands by Mayweather when he signed the agreement to fight Pacquiao was to ban Mommy D from the MGM Grand arena during fight night. Mayweather was concerned that Pacquiao’s mom would cast a spell on the American boxer which would lead to his loss to the Filipino.

So now the world knows that Mommy D’s absence from the MGM Arena resulted in Mayweather’s unanimous decision win over Pacquiao. No voodooism. No spell cast.
