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.
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.
