Pacquiao 'mutates' into a politician at GenSan parade

On Wednesday morning, he was acting like a boxing champ that he was, waving to thousands of supporters who crowded the roads of General Santos City and other towns of South Cotabato. In the afternoon however, after the hero’s welcome, radio dzBB reported that Manny Pacquiao rode in another float, changing his mien to that of a politician’s. He is running for Congress against incumbent General Santos City Rep Darlene Antonino-Custodio. The report said Pacquiao wore his campaign vest and mingled with other local candidates in the May 14 elections when he transferred into another parade vehicle with a ‘People’s Champ Movement" written on it. DzBB said Pacquiao did not give portions of his winnings to people during the parade, but nevertheless distributed a truckload of food to his supporters who witnessed the parade. The report said Pacquiao asked apology from his rain-drenched supporters after his group ran out of food from the truck. It was also reported that Pacquiao distributed 300 sacks of rice to the city’s poor people. - GMANews.TV
