I say who really cares if he's boxing and being a congress member in his country at the same time. The guy led a hard life in childhood to his mid teenage years and made something out of himself, while people seemed pissed at his success behind a computer screen.
I don't know how he is as a politician, but California had 2 Hollywood actors in Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzeneeger as governors and 1 actually became president of the USA. They don't strike me as intelligent people anyways.
But life is what you make of it, some people become successful while others moan and complain about another man's success.
I think the Aussies call it Tall Poppy Syndrome or something like that.

I am not questioning the intelligence of Pac because intelligence has many faces. What I am complaining is his dereliction of duty as a law maker.
The fact that Pacquaio does not even know how to make laws is even aggravated by the fact that he's not even attending regularly the sessions of the Congress.
You don't care because you're not a FILIPINO TAXPAYER. My gross income is being deducted 25% to pay for Pac's salary so I have the right to whine and complain. ASide from that, my compulsory insurance policy from the Government (GSIS) deducts almost 10% of my salary and is being spent on investments like paintings which you haven't heard of.![]()

That's the world of politics. When Arnold was governor of California he went to Lakers games all the time and boxing matches like the Mosley/Margarito fight and really didn't do a damn thing to help the state get out of it's debt. When Reagan was president he took a lot of vacations and plunge the nation into massive debt, but hey he was great at speeches like the "tear down this wall mr. Gorbachev" stuff.
That's what politics is, corruption and nothing more than corruption. Still I have to hand it to someone that came from the depths of the gutter to make something out of himself. So I ain't got no envy of another man's success in life. It's a dog eat dog world out there.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.![]()

Smart followed by stupid!
First they hail the guy for being a national hero. Praise him for raising the moral of the Nation. And now accuse him of misconduct. Anyone with any sense at all knows intuitively that his continued boxing only prospers the country further as it helps build the economy and promotes peace. Besides he gives much of it away. His taxes alone ought to more than justify his absence from congress.
Anyone with half a brain knows that this type or rhetoric is born from his political opposition.
@Bulldog, but Reagan and Schwarzenneger did not leave office for three months at the expense of their duty. Pacquiao is very good and Filipinos are proud of him. But when he shit and being emulated by fellow congressmen in terms of the length of his absences, how would my friend Bulldog and narrow minded Pacnuts solve this legislative chaos Pacman et al could give our country?
Bruce Lee is right, you Bulldog aint Filipinos who would suffer in this stupidity.
You aint also understand Bruce Lee's "Dereliction of Duty", or word like "Malfeasance", "Non-Feasance". They are Philippine law that would look shit if Pacman and other congressmen continue to shit on them.
Pacquaio has a way, resign as pug, and concentrate as solon or the other way around. Don't shit with the law.
To those who questioned that it is not in the Code of Conduct that Pacman sidelines as boxer, or congressmen and work in the private sector, son of a gun, that's why I wrote this article for a taxpayer to test it at the nearby Regional Trial Court and the Supreme Court later (through certiorari incase RTC overturned the petition).
This would enrich our jurisprudence since the court can decides if congressmen are allowed or not to work in the private sector

Hehehe. How I wish I could file the petition as a taxpayer and be part of the jurisprudence. I know it will be granted though Pacquaio's camp might question my standing as a proper party to the case. The Supreme Court then will grant my petition because of its importance. Law students would be studying my case and it will be cited in similar cases as stare decisis. Imagine that, an easy way to be remembered by many. LOL. Thanks to Pacquaio vs Mosley.

I agree with you Johnny. Some people might moan because the letter of the law isn't being observed, but it's a FACT that Manny is more useful to the people of the Philipines whilst still being a fighter, with a massive world profile, which gives him a platform to speak on behalf of his country to a farbigger audience.
Politics isn't just about turning up at meetings and signing papers, people can actually get out and make real change in powerful ways through their charisma and personal power.
Manny is great for the Phillipines, and for raising awareness of his country and any problems they may suffer.
It's actually a very good pragmatic decision to let him both serve politically and as a fighter right now as he's now Asia's most famous politician and will hold a lot of clout overseas.
Make use of that, don't bitch about it.
Fucking whiny, inneffective beaurocrats.
