MANILA, Philippines – Lawmaker and sports icon Manny Pacquiao has arrived in Manila after wrapping up a press tour together with his next opponent Juan Manuel Marquez in the US and in Mexico.
The eight-division world champion arrived on board Philippine Airlines flight PR 103.
The press tour that promoted Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 fight lasted for a week. The two boxers went around New York, Los Angeles and even in Mexico where the Pinoy pride was warmly welcomed.
The much-awaited rematch between Pacquiao and Marquez will happen on November 12 in Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, Pacquiao declined to comment on his alleged plan to run for vice president in the 2016 elections.
“Huwag na muna nating pag-usapan 'yan. Boxing lang muna tayo, boxing lang,” Pacquiao said. The Filipino boxer is the representative of Saranggani province in the Lower House.
However, even if Pacquiao indeed plans to run, he is not eligible to do so because of the age requirement.
The 1987 Constitution provides that candidates should be at least 40 years of age on election day. Pacquiao will only be 37 years old in May 2016.
