Pacquiao, in a video interview sent to reporters on Sunday, Dec. 20, said this is the reason why he chose to run for the Senate.
“Dapat hindi mo pinagkakitaan ‘yung politics. Importante tunay na may malasakit at pagmamahal sa ating bansa ,” the senator added. He slammed politicians who are pretending to be smart while most Filipinos are still living in poverty.
