National Boxer, Manny Pacquiao Shows Support To President-elect Rodrigo Duterte
Senator-elect Manny Pacquiao declares support to the newly proclaimed president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte in an interview with “Pambansang Kamao” last weekend.
Manny Pacquiao and Duterte had a dinner night in a restaurant in Davao City held last May 28, Saturday with his wife Jinkee, the running mate of Duterte, Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano with his sister, Sen. Pia Cayetano.
Pacquiao also posted a photo on his Instagram account with a caption stating, “Privilege to be with our incoming President Rodrigo Duterte. May God Bless us all and may God Bless the Philippines.”
Also the wife of Pacquiao, Jinkee had posted her photo to her Instagram account.
During the interview of Davao press to Pacquiao, he admits that they support each other before the season of campaign and election had started.
‘Noon pa man hanggang ngayon, ang suporta ko na kay Digong,’ the boxer stated.
In the report of PEP, Pacquiao is included in the first senatorial list of Duterte, but was removed when it confirmed his affiliation with UNA.
As a proof to their good organization, though they are not in the same party, still Duterte made a campaign to Manny Pacquiao during the meeting de avance held in Luneta Park last May 7.
Duterte also stated before that he and Manny Pacquiao are friends.
Duterte said before in meeting de avance: ‘Even if he is with VP Binay, I would still like to pitch for him. Huwag ninyo siyang kalimutan. Kahit wala siya sa akin at doon siya sa kabila, kindly suportahan ninyo si Pacman. Kaibigan ko siya. Pareho kaming taga-Mindanao at magkasama kami sa sakripisyo at kaligayahan.’
There are some netizens who defended him saying that Pacquiao and Duterte are already friends since then. The National Boxer only made a decision to affiliate with Binay because of the indecisive decision of Duterte whether he will run or not.
