The Philippine Vice President made
it clear that he started courting Sarangani boxing champion Representative Pacquiao
to run as senator under his party.
VP Binay, who has recently visit General
Santos City told the reporters of his hope that people would help convince Manny
Pacquiao to run for senator in the upcoming election.
“I hope we can all help in
convincing Representative Pacquiao—because of his experience, his being poor,
and the help he extended to the poor will continue,” Binay said.
Asked if he was considering
Pacquiao as his vice-presidential running mate in 2016, “We hope he will be a candidate
for senator,” he said.
However, the detained Senator Estrada
noted that Pacquiao may not be qualified to run for the position of vice
president due to his age. Since Pacquiao will only be 37 years old in 2016 three
years short of the constitutional age requirement of 40 for the vice—presidential
candidates.
