Pakyawon ni PACQUIAO!

 

Pakyawon ni PACQUIAO! 

From the unserious world of pugilism to the equally comedic world of politics, he wants them all.

When supposedly right-thinking people deride and stigmatize Pacquiao, his pronouncements, and his high-strung ambitions whether expressed or not, one could justifiably declare that they are simply looking at themselves in the mirror.  Exercising projection without really being aware of it.

The reality of Pacquiao and the public elective positions he has held so far is nothing more than an honest reflection of politics and the electorate in the home country.  And his eventual ascendancy to the highest public office in the land would simply be an affirmation and continuation of this warped sense of self-awareness.  Local political history cannot deny this.

And if others consider him arrogant and presumptuous for thinking that his wealth will help him be elevated to the highest office, then they  err again since he would simply be applying the lessons he had learned about local public governance.  That most politicians  ascend to their political thrones via the reliable assistance of grease money and other corrupt practices. And perpetuate themselves in office in the self-same ways.

Unabatingly waiting therefore for the eventuality that Pacquiao becomes the President of the Philippines.  It could come sooner than many think.

One petty recommendation:  Please get rid of the facial hair once you are sitting on the throne.

One important Caveat:  We are all reassured that if he becomes president, he would be the least likely to steal from the public coffers or enrich himself, comparing from all the possible and potential candidates we can at this time think about.

A cognitively-challenged and infirm individual like a Biden got the vaunted US presidency, garnering supposedly the highest number of popular votes recorded in the entire history of US politics.  So who is to deny the same opportunity to a Pacquiao who has attained unparalleled renown in the world - granted it is limited to the pugilistic world, but which after all  entire humanity is keenly attuned to and countless numbers follow like a religion?
