Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao or Manny Pacquiao

Born on December 17, 1978  (48 years old) in Kibawe, Bukidnon Province, Mindanao, Philippines

Pacquiao completed his elementary education at Saavedra Saway Elementary School in General Santos City, but dropped out of high school due to extreme poverty.
President Rodrigo Duterte has proven that Senator Pacquiao paid the University of Makati (UMak) to get a college diploma after finishing his political science degree in just three months.

His Political Party
PDP-Laban (2012-2014 ; 2016-present)

Pacquiao, once a close ally of Duterte, had said more than 10 billion pesos ($200 million) in pandemic aid intended for poor families was unaccounted for, adding this was just one discovery in his planned corruption investigation.
Pacquiao has already had an accomplished political career, earning a seat in the Filipino House of Representatives in 2010 and also winning re-election to the position in the following elections. In 2016 he won a spot in the Filipino Senate. Much of Pacquiao's time as a senator was spent aligned with the regime of controversial president Rodrigo Duterte until a falling out between the two parties this past summer that included Duterte threatening to campaign against Pacquiao in 2022.
On the Senate floor, where legislations and issues are dissected and discussed in detail, he would conveniently use the Bible to explain his positions.

Manny Pacquiao says budget cuts in different government agencies will fund free housing for all informal settlers in the country. In this clip, he explains how he intends to clear the country from informal settlers in four to five years. His plan doesn’t include off-site relocation.

Additional Informations

Get to know PING LACSON

Ang tama, ipaglaban. Ang mali, labanan. (What is right must be kept right. What is wrong must be set right.)

These words have served as the constant guide of PANFILO “PING” MORENA LACSON, who has been circumspect in matters of public interest and committed against various forms of corruption in his 50 years of public service in the fields of law enforcement, lawmaking, and humanitarian work.

Lacson first earned a tough, no-nonsense reputation while serving in the Philippine Constabulary and Philippine National Police: solving high-profile crimes including kidnap-for-ransom cases in the 1980s and 1990s; and reviving the PNP’s glory days as Chief, PNP from 1999 to 2001.

In the Senate, Lacson is an untiring, tenacious watchdog of the national budget, making sure dubious congressional insertions (a.k.a. pork barrel) and useless appropriations are checked and deleted during plenary debates.

His continuous fight against corruption, including pork barrel in all its iterations, earned him the degree of Doctor of Laws, Honoris Causa, from the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila in March 2019.
