The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency is chasing after Manny Pacquiao. The Drug Agency is after Pacquaio not for any wrongdoing, but the Drug Agency is eyeing the possibility of getting Pacquiao to work as a celebrity endorser of the government's anti-drug campaign.
The PDEA chief Senior Undersecretary Dionisio Santiago quoted in the manilastandardtoday.com, explained his reasoning for wanting a high profile figure like Pacquiao on the team. Santiago told the publication: “Manny
could be a role model among the youth in our campaign against illegal drugs in the country."
Santiago said Pacquiao could even play an important role to help not only discourage kids from using drugs, but also help to keep local officials from engaging into illegal drug trade.
Santiago indicated a number of local politicians are reportedly involved in the illegal drug trade, further stating: “Manny’s charisma could persuade them to support the government’s anti-drug campaign.”
Santiago will seek support by asking President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to commission Pacquiao as endorser of the government’s campaign against illegal drugs. They need Arroyo's support because the PDEA does not have funds to pay the talent fee of Pacquiao.
Santiago added: “I hope that Pacquiao will do it for free to help us in the campaign against illegal drugs.”
