Boxing champ Manny Pacquiao wants to be congressman so he can continue helping other people without using his personal funds.
“Pera ko ang ginagastos ko. Kawawa naman ang pamilya ko. Mauubos ang pera ko (I’m spending my own money now. But pity my family. My wealth would be depleted),” he said.
Last year, Forbes magazine listed Pacquiao as one of the world’s highest paid athletes. He is tied for sixth place with American basketball star player LeBron James and golfer Phil Mickelson, who both earned not less than $40 million dollars in 2008.

Because he is an idiot… He can do more good for his fellow provincemates than if he joined the rotten political circus.
“Pera ko ang ginagastos ko. Kawawa naman ang pamilya ko. Mauubos ang pera ko (I’m spending my own money now.”-Pacquiao
Aha, Kaya pumapasok sa pulitika para sa Pork Barrel na niya kukunin yung ipangtutulong niya sa tao. Sabagay kung mabuting proyekto at pag-unlad ng kanyang nasasakupan ang pupuntahan ng pera ng bayan eh okay na ring sigurong sumugal sa kanya. Huwag lang siyang maging tuta at magpagamit. Lalo na sa botohan sa mga maselang bills sa Kongreso. Tulad ng pagiging tsutsu na si Lito Lapid.
Oscar Dela Hoya has been helping his city mates but he never ran for public office.
HIPOKRITO! si PACMAN… sa bawat yapak niya sa ring, bago magsimula at matapos ang laban niya, siya ay luluhod sa isang sulok ng ring, mag-aantanda ng krus ng paghihirap ni Kristo at mananalangin… kaawa-awa nilalang, di niya batid ang maglingkod sa tao at sa bayan ay yaong mapagbagong aral ni Kristo. Sapagkat, hindi paman nalulukluk sa pagiging kongresman, reklamo na agad… nauubos na raw ang kanyang perang napanalunan niya sa arena ng boxing. Si PACMAN, ay isang tipikal na Kristyanong Pilipino sa ngalan ng binyagan lamang.
“Pera ko ang ginagastos ko. Kawawa naman ang pamilya ko. Mauubos ang pera ko (I’m spending my own money now. But pity my family. My wealth would be depleted),”- Pakyaw
E di wag ka na lang tumulong, ayaw mo palang maubos ang pera mo, idiot!
Nakakaalibadbad ang pinagsasabi ni Pakyaw.Kung mapasok sya sa tongress, hindi rin nya gagamitin ang porkies para sa kanyang mga ka-probinsya siempre lagay din sa sariling bulsa.
What makes him different from his ninang Gloria, ninong Mike, ninong Chavit at kung sinu-sino pang mga ninong na kriminal at korap?
Di ba parating,nakuyomus ang kamao iyan ang boksingero,pati sa pera ay nakakuyomos ang kamao,bakit gusto yata taong bayan ang gagastos sa kanyang yabang sa pulitika,isang malaking pagkakamali ang pagpasok sa laro ng mga magnanakaw isugal mo muna ang iyong naipon bago ka titipak pagikaw ay sinuwerte sa labanan,pagmalas it crying again baby,eskerda lahat bff mo.
Walastik! .bagong style ang pagtulong niya..modern Robin Hood..magnakaw ka sa gobyerno at i pamahagi mo sa mga tao ang nakaw mo…sino nagsasabi na hindi siya matalino? matalino siya..baluktot nga lang…
I am a fan of Manny Pacquiao and I support him in his bid for congress. He really had poor beginnings. He is a hard worker, a success story, and as some have attested to very helpful and kind. I believe he is sincere in his good intentions.
There are some people who are jealous of his success. I once read a very nasty blog about him, complaining about what he makes in commercials. Some are jealous about his singing, some his acting, and now his bid for Congress.
I you honestly compare his reputation to many who are running for government positions today he will come out ahead.
Anna, I did not think that you can be so brash. What makes you say that Manny Pacquiao is an idiot? Do you know him? Have you spoken to him?
What have you done to promote the Philippines to the world as Pacquiao had and continue to do?
I have to give Pacman the benefit of doubt. He had been being called names as idiot, stupid, etc. but he is not running for president. Who knows if he wins he might be able to table a bill that will help in the development of sports in the country. And that will be a moment for him to celebrate, an incomparable feat and accomplishment compared to the overall achievement of one called Noynoy who is running for president who in his 12 years in congress and senate he has nothing, meaning Zero, to show in terms of performance.
At least comparing the two, Pacman has more experience in life. He climbed the social ladder and fulfilled his ambition through his own effort and stand on his feet, unlike Noynoy who is still clinging on the skirts and sleeves of his loving mother-hen Cory and Papa Ninoy. Noynoy never had any leadership and administration experience. He never experienced to manage a family and lived with his mother during the last fifty years of his life, always being served, not having to worry where his next meal will come from and now he wants to be a leader of 90 million Filipinos. That is really scary.
Pacman is earning his bread and butter the hard way. It’s not from corruption or taking advantage of the sweat, tears and blood of people or farm workers who are being paid a slave’s pay. It’s not from killing people who complain about work conditions and who demand their fair share in something they are entitled to. He earns his keeps fair and square. So it’s just normal and natural that he has to take care of it.
After all it’s from his sweat and blood and even staked his own life to earn it.
Maraming nagko-comment dito na may mahuhusay na pagunawa sa ibig sabihin ng “crab mentality.” Hindi ba crab mentality ang panglalait na wala naman talagang batayan?
I hope Manny Pacquiao beats Chongbian. My only question to Manny is why he joined NP and not PALAKA. Maybe we can find out who GMA really annointed as her successor.
Pacman, Gustong tumulong OK, Gustong Maglingkod OK, pero ayaw mabawasan ang sariling pera para sa bayan ay di OK.
Matutulad lang siya ni Lito Lapid na kapag English ang debate ay nawawala at baka kailangan niya si Buboy sa tabi niya para sa translate sa tagalog.
Hanga ako kay PAcman at malakas ang loob pumasok sa politika at ang di ko lang maisip ay bakit pa kailangan niya mag politika kung gusto niya tumulong sa mga tao (pero ang sariling pera niya ay ibibigay lang niya sa kabit at sa daddy ng kabit niya kasama pa sa taping ni Jay Leno,doon ay di siya nag alala para sa pamilya niya. Tanong ninyo sa kaibigan niyang Boksingero at alam nila ang tunay na dahilan kung saan napupunta ang pera ni Pacman). Isa pa ay sa Sabong niya ipapatalo ang nakuha niyang yaman sa larangan ng pag boksing. Ang mahirap d2 ay baka matuto na mangurakot si Pacman dahil sa pag susugal at aral sa mag asawang Arroyos.
Dapat ba siya pumalaot sa politika dahil gusto niyang tumulong.
Dinadasal ko lang ay ituloy na lang niya ang laban sa ring at harapin ang madaldal na itim na boksingero.
Nice one chi! He is a certified idiot. He is running for congress not to help his constituents but to protect his interests. Another corrupt politician in the making.
RE: E di wag ka na lang tumulong, ayaw mo palang maubos ang pera mo, idiot!
Ang lutong naman Igan Chi, KOREK…ibig sabihin ang daming IDIOT sa mundo ng magulong pulitika sa Pinas?
Gustong maging lingkod-bulsa…kasi nga, aba e magwawaldas sa pangangampanya ng milyong Piso at aber saan naman nila ito babawiin?
Kawawang Pinas…saan tayo patutungo nito, kaya majority ng pulitiko e kabilang sa mafiosi ng narco-politics at weteng Lord ng kanilang balwarte.
Sure, itong si Pacman e makakatulad din yan ng marami diyan ang babata pa sa larangan ng pulitika e kurap at sinungaling na tulad ni TOL Defensor, Spice boyz at iba pa.
Paano yan e…kung tutuusin e ang mga TONGRESMAN, pag naupo na sa Tongreso…akala mo korek at pag-aari nila ang Pinas?
Buhay nga naman nakakakunsume…wala tayong tulak-kabigin, puro pahirap!
RE: Nice one chi! He is a certified idiot.
Ibig sabihin Batang_munti…GI (genuine idiot), kita naman karamihan sa kanila e diyan nagkatahid till nagsitanggap ng diploma (RIP).
Naging palabigasan ng maraming trapo/tradpols ang kabang-yaman ng Pinas…kaya kanda-kuba si juan de la cruz sa kaliwa’t kanang taxes na bayarin.
Ang siste nga nito pati birth certificate ay may expiration…6mos. lang ang validity at kailangan kuha ka ulit sa census, anong logic yan…ONLY in d’Pinas!
Ngayon, like e-VATrecto…e kasama sa magic 12 ng Senators, aba e mag-isip naman ang marami nating botanteng Pinoy, never na padalos-dalos sa pagpili ng kandidato coz’yang si eVATrecto ang utak ng 12% na pahirap sa ating lahat.
Kakaininin mo na lang e may kaltas pang 12%…ang laking kabawasan ito sa budget ng isang pamilyang Pinoy.
IBASURA si eVATrecto…hindi dapat yang manalo, kailangan sa kanya e pulitin sa kangkungan…nababagay siya doon para ipakain sa alagang baboy…kasi nga po e binaboy niya ang purdoy na Pinoy.
Imagine, 12% ang idadagdag sa lahat ng gastusin ng Pinoy at ilang taon na itong pasang-krus nating lahat. Ngayon, wawaldasin lang ni gloria and her goons sa enchanted kingdom.
Hayon, karamihan sa kanila e naglalamyerda sa foreign trips…ang sabat e official trips daw yon pero yong mga amuyong e lakwatsa ang inaatupag.
Because he’s flamboyant, arrogant and believes in his own “GREATNESS”.
Remember his statement that he wanted to go to Ateneo to study? Didn’t anyone even tell him that he has to pass an entrance exam to be able to get in?
Also, can you really trust someone who is chummy with the likes of Chavit, Atienza and FG?
He may be sincere in wanting to help his future (?) constituents but dole outs are not the way to go.
We are all idiots here if we begrudge the Pakyaw’s windfall or success. I certainly don’t and I wish him more success in boxing but not in politics.
But let’s admit it; he’s not that good looking, his singing is horrible (to me at least), action star kuno, and his leap to politics; these are all by products of his wealth and influences all the way to Gluerilla. And if there are small groups who bears hatred towards him, their jealousies are borne out of biases, him being given all the preferences because of worldwide recognition, not singing or acting merits. Take out his wealth, and Pakyaw will be Sabit’s shoe-shine boy, or still selling cigarettes on the streets on GenSan no more no less, no pun intended. Let’s be realistic and as this is noypi politics – Money Talks!
it seems to me that at least this manny is honest when he say that he donot want to use his own money anymore to help others.some politicians use peoples money to help and then act as if they are using their own money and quite of lot of politicians steal the peoples money and never help others.if mp turns out to be good in helping others he might at least be good as a social welfare administrator.
“We are all IDIOTS here if we begrudge the Pakyaw’s windfall or success.”
Tru blue,
Rest assured I personally am not begrudging his windfall or success; i don’t give a shit about Pacquiao and his money; the more money he makes honestly the better and I say that without malice — good on him.
But it is he, from what I’ve read, who’s feeling grudgeful because “nauubos na ang pera” niya…
I base that on the direct quote in the post (which Chi has picked up as well):
Seems like there’s a hint of resentment there (or am I wrong that he is in fact boasting about it?)? Spend like there’s no tomorrow, bring your family into the looming “fall” and then feel resentful, complain about it, etc… now if that’s not being idiotic, what is?
Can a cow vote? From this regime its possible! Anything under the sun is possible under this regime of Villaroyo, Gibo & Gordon.
Makakatulong naman si Pakyaw nang hindi niya direktang gagastusin ang pera niya, ah?
Ilang bilyon na siguro ang naipon niya sa pakikipagbangasan ng mukha kasama na ang pagiging endorser, mga kinita sa “hits” niyang kanta (hindi sa tong-its, ha?) at mga blockbuster na movies, bakit hindi siya magtayo ng negosyo?
Makakatulong na siya upang magkaroon ng trabaho ang mga kababayan niya, hindi pa mauubos ang pera niya.
Ang istilo kasi niya sa pagtulong ay katulad sa kanyang mga hunghang na ninang at ninong na ang alam lang na ibigay ay limos.
Mahilig siyang magpakita ng taimtim na pagdarasal, bakit hindi niya isabuhay ang nasusulat sa Bibliya?
“Bigyan mo ng isda ang tao at mabubuhay siya ng isang araw. Turuan mo siyang mangisda at mamumuhay siyang maayos habang buhay”.
Makakatulong naman si Pakyaw nang hindi niya direktang IPAPAMIGAY ang pera niya, ah?
Can a cow vote?
Oo ngaaaaaaaa!
“Bigyan mo ng isda ang tao at mabubuhay siya ng isang araw. Turuan mo siyang mangisda at mamumuhay siyang maayos habang buhay”.
Tama!
bugbog-sarado si Manny Pacquiao dito sa Ellenville nang maisipan niyang labanan si Darlene sa nag-iisang GenSanCity congressional seat nuong nakaraan. isa na ako duon, sa nambugbog.
matitingkad ang mga kadahilanan: isa, ang kawalan niya ng preparasyon at ang masamang timing—-mainit ang balitaktakan sa Kongreso nuon at isa si Darlene sa kakaunting magiting pero pursigido isulong ang impeachment laban sa pekeng Okupante.
pangalawa, ang kawalan niya ng matibay na gabay sa pulitika. naniniwala si Manny na ang opisina at katungkulan ng isang Kongresista ay para mamudmod ng pabor, pera, at pangako.
hindi ko alam kung meron na bang positibo pagbabago kay Manny mula nuon. pero kung ako ay botante ng lugar niya, pagbibigyan ko siya ngayon at iboboto.
ang katunggali niya, mangyari, ay isa ding ewan.
kay Manny naman, humigit o kumulang, kilala ko na at maari niya na lang akong gulatin kung tutuparin niya ang kanyang mga pangako—isang pagkakagulat na ikasisiya ko kung mangyayari.
ang isang pang sandata ni Manny ay ang kanyang pagiging taal o sibol sa naturang lugar, naging kaagapay niya ang higit na nakarami sa mga paghihirap.
kabaligtaran sa kanyang katunggali na galing sa isang angkan ng mga sagad-sagaring lumang pulitiko. naalala lamang dalawin ang kanyang mga botante kapag may halalan.
zen, di ba si jinkee and taal na taga Sarangani? I read it somewhere that the reason why Pakyaw decided to run in that district was because he believes he could easily win because it’s jinkee’s.
Look people, none of us, no matter how generous has given so much for the Philippines. Just in taxes alone, Manny Pacquiao has given and will continue to give to our country. Who benefits from that? Tayo din, hindi ba?
Anna says Pacquiao is an idiot for very shallow reasons – so, he said what may be in his mind at the time and what he said does not make one an idiot. At least he is honest. For all you know, it was a slip of the tongue.
So, if Pacquiao is an idiot, then he is the only one who has world celebrities as fans like Bill Clinton and many other heads of state. Even Hilary Clinton, on her last visit, had nice things to say about him.
It is only us Stupid Peenoys who think ourselves better with nothing to show who disparage our own heroes. We should be ashamed of this self defeating charcter.
“Bigyan mo ng isda ang tao at mabubuhay siya ng isang araw. Turuan mo siyang mangisda at mamumuhay siyang maayos habang buhay”. MPR
Ayaw ngang magbigay ng isda ni Pakyaw kung ang pambili ay gastos sa aral-mangisda ay manggagaling sa sariling bulsa, masasagad daw ang yaman nya. 🙂
Tingnan ko rin kung sakaling manalo e ang pork ay gawin nyang isda o panghuli ng isda, hehehe!
Look, Isagani, Pakyaw diparaged himself by whining about his “kawawa ang pamilya” niya because, maubos na ang pera niya.
Reformulating comment here: “Then, stop, don’t be an idiot.”
Meanwhile, on “Who benefits from that? [taxes]”, can assure you NOT ME. He’s not my hero either. Good on those folks for whom he is a hero.
And to be perfectly honest, I don’t think I’m better than him, only that I’m not whining nor moan about my family being kawawa because naubos na ang pera.
And you’re right, we should be ashamed of such sel-defeating character. But if it was a slip of the tongue, tough.
Just in taxes alone, Manny Pacquiao has given and will continue to give to our country. Who benefits from that? Tayo din, hindi ba? – Isagani
Igan, nakalimutan mong ang nangakaupo ngayon sa trono ay mga kawatan. Ano’ng malay natin kung ‘yung milyones ni Pakyaw na ibinayad bilang buwis ay kasama sa mga nakadeposito sa Alemanya?
‘Yung katwiran niya na pera niyang sarili ang ginagamit niya, bakit pa siya tumutulong kung natatakot siyang maubos ang yaman niya? Ibig sabihin lamang ay hindi totoong lubos sa kalooban niya ang pagdamay sa mga naghihikahos at ‘yun ay para sa publisidad lamang.
Kung tunay at lantay ang pananalig niya sa Diyos, iisipin niyang ang kapalit ng itinutulong niya ay buhos lalong grasya. Maubos man ang yaman niya ay sa kawanggawa naman napunta. Takot siyang maubos ang pera niya kaya kakandidato siyang konggresman. Sakaling mamatay siya sa oras na ito, madadala ba niya ang salapi niya sa hukay?
Remember King Alexander’s last dying words: “Bury my body, do n ot build any monument and keep my hands outside my coffin so that the world knows the person who won the world has nothing in hands when dying”.
Sa kanyang pagdidiliryo, nagbigay siya ng tatlong kahilingan sa kanyang mga ministro at ang pangalawa niyang bilin ay ganito: “Ikalat ninyo ang lahat ng ginto, pilak at lahat ng aking yaman sa daraanan ng aking libing hanggang sa paglalagakan ng aking katawan upang ipabatid sa buong mundo na kahit isa sa mga ito o bahagi man ay wala akong madadala sa hukay. Isinilang akong walang anumang hawak na yaman at mamamatay akong maiiwan ang lahat ng aking kayamanan.”
at least he is being true to himself and to all of us…nagsasabi siya na totoo sa puso niya…si Villar ba ay tunay ang loobin sa pag tulong? si Nonoy? si Erap? etc. etc. at si anak ni Eva? pinaghirapan niya ang pera niya…hindi niya ninakaw! but his reason for wanting to serve via congress does not seem to be kosher!
And again, Isagani, I said Pakyaw is an idiot not for “shallow reasons” as you say it but for HIS OWN PROFOUND reason:
Kawawa pala ang pamilya niya dahil mauubos ang pera niya… naknampucha! Ano yan? Reklamo siya e di unahin niya ang pamilya niya.
Charity begins at home!
Mauubos pa ba, kahit isandaang taon ang yaman ni Pakyaw kahit araw araw siyang tumulong sa nangangailangan?
Magkano ba ang tubo, sabihin na nating isandaang milyon lamang ang i-time deposit niya kung long term? Huwag ng compounded.
Pambihira. Eh, kahit hindi ako marunong sa finance and banking of the commerce and industry of home economics, aba’y hindi ako maniniwalang mauubos ang yaman niya.
Magkano ba ang tubo, sabihin na nating isandaang milyon lamang ang i-time deposit niya kung long term? Huwag ng compounded.
Magno,
Ganoon ba siyang kayaman? E bakit nag rereklamo? Baka naman nagyabang?
Anna,
Sa isang laban ni Pakwan, sabihin nating kumikita siya ng sampung milyong dolyar, magkano ‘yun sa piso? Wala na ‘yung buwis, ha?
Ilang laban ba sa loob ng isang taon ang hinarap at pinagkakitaan niya ng milyon milyong dolyar? Sabihing dalawang beses isang taon. Magkano kung tigsasampung milyong dolyar? Di ba’t bente? Magkano na ‘yun sa piso?
‘Yung bayad pa sa kanya ng Nike bilang endorser?
Hige nga?
10000000000000000?
🙂
E bakit nga nag rereklamo? O baka nga yabang lang?
Just in taxes alone, Manny Pacquiao has given and will continue to give to our country. Who benefits from that? Tayo din, hindi ba? – Isagani
Ha? Di ba naideposito na lahat iyan ni Gloria sa overseas?!
Kawawa pala ang pamilya niya dahil mauubos ang pera niya… naknampucha! Ano yan? Reklamo siya e di unahin niya ang pamilya niya.
Charity begins at home! -Anna
Op kors!
Anna, my comment infers as a generalized one; unless of course you begrudge his singing capability, hehe…..
Ha? Teka, trublue,
Singer ba siya? Akala ko ba boksingero?
Sibukan ni Pakyaw kung singing ang second career nya pero ilan lang ang bumili ng tiket sa Hawaiian concert sana kaya ngayon ay magko-kongresman na lang sya, sigurado ang pera.
Sakit kaayo inyong gipangsulti bahin sa akong kaubang kababayang Manny pero tama kayo he’s an idiot…. who knows pag nanalo sya magkaroon ng Silent Committe sa Congress? O di ba? Or baka sya ang maging comittee chairman ng S.W.A.T. – S-amahan ng W-alang A-lam sa T-ongress.
Or maybe magkasama sila ng Ninang Gloria nya na boboto para palitan ang Constitution natin-CON-ASS.
Let the idiot people decide… ika nga!
Mas grabe ka, Nathan. hahaha!
Pacquiao should know how it is to come up with a foundation…hindi niya dapat sasabihin iyang kawawa siya. that means hindi siya well-advised. bigay lang ng bigay. kaya hindi siya dapat maging kongresista…simple-minded ang labas niya.
OT:
I’m reposting this from my own post in a previous thread. Sensya na. Tao lang. 🙂
Mam Ellen:
I’m wondering why nobody in the media wrote about this before. I don’t think Sexual Addiction, as a psychological sickness, is an entirely new finding in the field of Psychology. I even remember you writing about Tiger Woods’ case just recently. It crossed my mind that this deviant behavior, if not treated, can certainly wreak havoc on the lives of members of families as what the Tiger Woods’ case truly exemplified.
In fairness to Erap, he is not the only politico that is afflicted by this psychologically errant behavior. It may be even true in the case of countless other Pinoys who consider their philandering ways as a badge of honor. This erroneous notion of machismo in Erap’s case is, sad to say, misplaced. What if he wins? Remember that in the past, this was one of the causes of his downfall. Instead of focusing on his job as the Chief Executive, Erap’s lavish gifts to his mistresses which reportedly came from jueteng payola and other questionable financial transactions were the staple news. It can’t be said therefore that his Sexual Addiction is just a figment of our imagination. This is common knowledge. All his mistresses are well-known to everybody. Certainly, this has a correlation to how a President, afflicted with SA, will manage the affairs of the state.
I’m sure Erap’s supporters will hate me for this. It’s fine with me. I’m equally sure bloggers in Ellenville will have a field day discussing this. Lawyers here can shed light if this is a ground for disqualification in running for public office(baka walang matirang kandidato?) If this is a ground for annulment( psychological incapacity) in marriages, surely the requisites for running for the presidency should even be more stringent. Jug has a point. Maintaining mistresses left and right is not normal. Let me make this clear. I am no saint myself, but I’m not running for any public office. Erap is. Erap said he has no problems undergoing tests to prove his sound mental health. I am not so sure about that anymore. He and his supporters, try as they may, will find it very difficult to dispute medical science. Anybody who has internet access can easily verify what I’m talking about by Googling sexual addiction and its manifest behaviors, in Erap’s case it’s muliple affairs(extra-marital affairs) and its cure, counseling and therapy.Irecommend medicinenet.com/sexual_addiction/article.html.
Speaking of therapy, let me end my post with this anecdote about Erap’s therapy. My former men in PSG related to me his penchant in having starlets board the presidential yacht frequently for trysts with some of his cronies. One time that I dropped-by, one of them told me: “ Sir, si Code 1( Prexy call-sign) nagTIRAFEE na naman ng week-end. I asked him if he meant THERAPY(owing to the facty that he is Visayan), knowing that Erap has arthritic knees. He said: “ Hindi Sir. TIRAFEE talaga. After he TIRA the starlet, he paid the FEE”. . . . .
Imbes na laitin natin si Manny kasi (sabi ng iba nating mga ka-kosa dito sa Ellenville) siya ay isang idiot, mas nakikita ko na siya ay medyo “naive” o ‘di kaya ay isang simpleton, eka nga. Sa palagay ko lang, ang kailangan niya ay mga financial advisors (with only Manny’s interest in mind), at mga career advisors to plan the right career path for him (in the field of politics or anything else) after boxing and still keep his bilions in his control.
Nakuha niya ang mga kasaganaan sa buhay ngayon sa pamamagitan ng pakikipag-basagan ng mukha, and he has the face only a mother could love to prove it. He earned every penny of his billions fair and square. Let him do what he wants with his money. I’d like to think that I would give him the benefit of the doubt that his intentions to run for office to be the peoples’ true representative (although I myself admit is ill-advised), are (sana) true and sincere. But sad to say that it is the influential political predators he keeps in the background that makes him look like the idiot that some of us think he is.
The fucking trapos see him as the ATM for their own personal political and financial interests. And since Manny is ill-advised and don’t know any better, he thinks he is beholden to them. And that is where Manny’s problem lies.
Anna,
Kadami namang bilog niyon, ah.
Hindi na nga mabilang ang yabang, este yaman ni Pakwan. Pero sa kuwenta ko ay halos isang bilyong piso ang sagot doon, eh.
Maliwanag namang ang istilo ng pagtulong ni Pakwan sa mga taong lumalapit sa kanya ay gaya nu’ng sa ninang niya, gaya nu’ng nabanggit ko sa itaas. Naglilimos la’ang siya, hindi tunay na pagtulong sapagkat ang pagtulong ay hindi kinukwenta.
Saka ‘yang pagtulong dapat gawin na hindi na aasa ang taong lumalapit sa sino mang may kakayahang tumulong.
Kung nagtayo nga ng pabrika si Pakwan, mas marami pa sana siyang natulungan. Kumita pa ang puhunan niya. Masaya pati si Krista, este ‘yung mga kasamahan niyang artista.
Para sa akin, kung ako’y may yaman na kagaya ng kay Pacman, magpapatayo ako ng mga libreng ospital at eskwela. Sayang, wala akong pera!
kung ako ay mayaman, kahit na 10 porsyento lang ng yaman ni pakman, di ko na rin malalaman kung ano talaga ang gagawin ko.baka maging idiot din ako sa tingin ng iba.
Pakyaw does not know the limit of his brains. ‘kala niya pati yun ay GREAT tulad ng kanyang brute force.
Pakyaw does not know the limit of his brains.
You mean, his brains are found in his arms? 🙂
in his fists? 🙂
nasa siko (elbows). 🙂
#32 Anna, are you sure you don’t benefit from taxes paid by Pinoys or the likes of Pacquiao, in particular?
Look, if you are voting in the Philippine elections, as you say you will, then you are benefiting from tax revenues paid by pinoys.
Do I have to explain how and why?
Anna, yes Pacquiao is also a singer. His records does very well, I hear. He is also in the movies. I don’t really think he has a good voice. I also don’t think that he is a good actor. Nevertheless, he is loved by the masa and known all over the world. He makes many OFWs and pinoys in diaspora all over the world very happy and proud to be a pinoy.
I know that it is not what he said about his money that annoys many of you here. I think it is jealousy. You just can’t accept that a poor boy like him can do so well, compared to some of you who, with what ever education attained remain mediocre in your chosen field. And, if or when he wins in the elections that would surely make you people go ballistic!
I think it is jealousy.
Don’t look at me or at this “OFW” here…
Let’s be clear about things (am not one to mince words so here goes…)
I don’t know much about him except for what Ellen writes and the first thing of consequence that I knew about the fellow was that he was defeated soundly by Lu Antonino’s daughter — didn’t even know he earned much money (good on him if he does) because I’m not interested in the man at all nor in what or who he represents.
You see, am not remotely interested in boxing (don’t like it at all), so am not remotely interested in what Pakyaw has, possesses, spends, doesn’t spend or whatever; therefore, you could say that I am not remotely proud or ashamed of him either for the simple, basic reason that is, that I’m not interested in the fellow to the extent that, to me, the man could very well not exist and I still won’t give a hoot, i.e., totally, totally, totally indifferent (except, as I’ve said, when Ellen writes about him in this blog and even there, I’ve only commented very sparingly on the man save when I’m challenged just like what’s been happening in this post).
And that’s the end of Pakyaw as far as I’m concerned. May he go forth and be happy boxing and getting boxed, and making gazillions of dollars and I still wouldn’t care that he exists! (These will be my parting words… 🙂 )
Pacquiao’s boxing purses are tax free. His pay-per-view income, likewise, is non-taxable as these were earned outside Philippine territory and “inwardly remitted in foreign currency via the legal banking system” (check your tax laws).
It can’t be affirmed though if laundered money rode piggyback on his remittances, AMLC is a completely deaf, dumb, and blind office. Again, untaxable.
His contract with Nike was signed and the ads are aired abroad. What are taxed are his local sponsors and local commercials which are mere ants as compared to those earned outside which are whales.
In fact, Pacquiao has paid more taxes to the US than to the Philippines.
And he has the gall to misdeclare his Porsche Cayenne Turbo by half? Oh, the patriot who pays more taxes abroad than home, uses his influence to skim off some taxes for his luxury SUV he bought a few weeks before he floored Erik Morales. Who ordered his Cayenne investigated? Another Morales, probably sourgraping, Customs Commie Napoleon Morales, that’s who.
Of course he wasn’t arrested or fined or even slapped on the wrist, his broker took the blame, and corrected the duties and taxes afterwards.
Oh, well…
Look, if you are voting in the Philippine elections, as you say you will, then you are benefiting from tax revenues paid by pinoys. (I’ve voted and if the Philippines doesn’t want me to vote, they must hold a “votation” to withdraw my right to vote!)
Isagani, I pay a lot of taxes in the Philippines — because I own properties in Pinas that I don’t use (but are exploited freely by some people to whom I give a lot more without my complaining about it) and am a partner in a couple of businesses, etc. but to tell me that I am benefitting from the taxes of your idol is pushing the envelop of gullibility and bad faith a bit too far.
If ever, I’m benefiting from the very taxes I pay, not even from the taxes YOU might pay. If you want to know, for the amount I pay, I get an envelop to cast my votes once in a blue moon which is basically the only personal benefit I get.
And so yes, explain to me how your idol’s taxes benefit me personally. Remember I don’t even get to use the roads for which part of my taxes are supposed to be spent since I don’t even visit the Philippines.
Let me correct the first paragraph:
“…earned outside Philippine territory and most probably ‘inwardly remitted..'”
By BIR’s records, the single biggest individual taxpayer is still Kris Aquino. Not Manny Pacquiao?
Really Tongue? Kris Aquino? You mean she earns more than Pakyaw? Magno estimates that the fellow earns 10M$ per bout… If Aquino earns less, then surely Pakyaw should be paying more.
“…earned outside Philippine territory and most probably ‘inwardly remitted..’”
Tongue, are you saying, not declared? Hence, not taxed? Whoa… that’s either money laundering or tax evasion.
He’d be in jail if he were living where I sit!
Now what is the difference between MannyPac and his political opponent Chongbian? Chongbian is known to bet a million pesos on his every entry in a cockfight derby.
MannyPac can bet as much as THREE to FOUR MILLION for each of the seven matches in the 7-cock derby which Pacquiao himself sponsored, interpolating from what Boxing promoter Wakee Salud says here: http://tubagbohol.mikeligalig.com/index.php?topic=19907.0
“Pacquiao’s adviser, Wakee Salud of Cebu, said the boxer won around P30 million ($625,000) during the derby.”
The P30M included the P4.5M jackpot which his “MPBR Queen Elizabeth” entry won. So P25.5M was won in “parada” in the 7 bouts.
Las Vegas reports have it that Pacquiao lost $200,000 on the poker tables the night after his Dela Hoya fight.
Imagine what P10M can do for his poor neighbors in Gensan.
I could go on…
In order to be tax-free, it has to be declared, and remitted to RP in foreign currency through the banks. That’s what I learned from Atty. Letty Ibay then of BIR, adviser of the original authors of VAT.
If that is the case, why does he keep secret of how much he makes for every bout? Because the “riders” on the remittances will be easy to spot by nosy kibitzers so he declares the “loaded” amounts only to the banks/AMLC whose vows of silence is infamous all over Europe?
Wow! That’s sort of double take all tax free?! Tax free on remitted(declared) foreign currency and on the interest takes on the money that’s sitting in the bank.
But Tongue, I know foreign currency savings in RP are taxed on interest earned. So if he’s got these foreign currencies sitting in banks, he is paying taxes on the interest, eg., time deposits (which Magno was talking about).
ref: #63
Oh come on Anna, you do benefit! Your hate for Pacquiao makes you talk nonsense. Maybe you pay more than what others do, but at the same token a lot of people pay more than what you pay! And you do benefit from whatever taxes others pay, yeah including from whatever taxes Pacquiao pays.
Unless, you are so special that the BIR keeps your account separate from the rest of the sambayanan, you are just a regular Juana dela Cruz, a common tao like anybody else. Well, maybe a little different because, as you say, you don’t live in Pinas, but not quite the same, nowhere close to the famous and accomplished Manny Pacquiao!
No, don’t get mixed-up. What is tax-free is only the original remittance. Whatever it earns later is subject to tax. That’s why remittances like MannyPac’s is most sought-after by politicians. They get their commissions from, say, foreign contractors or suppliers, abroad, and consolidate these with the legit money Pacquiao is sending home. They mask their dirty money with Manny’s clean money, I guess, for a fee. My British and South African contacts say 5% is standard. They will charter a private plane and take your hard cash where you want it to go for 5%. Not that I trust those bastards. hehehe.
And no, they don’t park their cash in banks neither. An AMLC, whether local or foreign, can’t freeze money that is not physically in the “legit” banks. Launderers go to the tax havens in offshore banks to park their stolen wealth.
Local low-tech laundering is rampant in PCSO where crooks buy winning lotto tickets at a premium. You’d be surprised how many “lotto millionaires” there are on record at the Bureau of Customs and BIR. Same M.O. in Pagcor. No wonder, FG’s closest pal from Makati Rotary (Genuino) is Pagcor’s head.
Pacquiao has paid more taxes to the US than to the Philippines. – tongue
Yes, because his bouts were held in the US, natural dito sya magbayad ng income tax sa games nya.
Kung kumuha ng tapwe sa Pinas via bank-to-bank…sa pinas ang singil ng tax hindi sa ‘merika, service fee lang ang binabayaran sa US bank.
O, kaya pala the baboys love Pakyaw so much daw. Now, I get it.
Poor Pakyaw…kung buhay lang si Teddy Benigno na tunay na nagmamahal sa kanya…
Isagani,
“Your hate for Pacquiao makes you talk nonsense. ”
C’mon Isagani. Your love for your idol is causing you to speak absolute drivel. You are speaking from your backside again… you are cracking up, man!
I agree with you totally — no need to spend your hard earned money to wake up the BIR (your family needs it), I’m just your regular juana de la cruz just as you are one unspecial juan de la cruz.
And no, I insist, I don’t benefit from your idol’s tax money and when you become sane again, I challenge you to prove it!
Oh, No! 🙂
Local low-tech laundering is rampant in PCSO where crooks buy winning lotto tickets at a premium.
In other words, money laundering…
Tongue,
Are these methods of money laundering even talked/written about in media?
In local media I mean…
Again, we have to remind ourselves this is the Philippines we are talking about; PALAKASAN.
Does Mikey the younger pig, pay taxes for his horses coming from Australia? His exotic car/s?
Did Maceda paid taxes for his two expensive cars which came from the US after his ambassadorship?
Ditto with Lacson’s apparently two Toyota Sequioa some years back?
If you’re regular Juan, not connected to anyone – they will tell you; it’s the LAW.
Anna, Wala namang source e. Sino’ng magsasalita. yung mga bangko? Never. Dapat nilang kinakausap yung mga foreign bankers na mahilig tumambay sa Polo Club o Manila Golf. O yung mga high profile businessmen sa Tower Club, mga well-informed (or well-experienced, heheh) yun.
Pwede rin yung mga investment scammers na nagkalat sa mga coffee shops at bars sa Burgos at Makati Ave. Magkakakilala ang mga lintik. Madali silang ma-spot, nakabundle ang mga dollars nila sa bulsa, cash. Hindi gumagamit ng credit card kasi peke ang mga identities. Magpapakilalang Kano pero yung tawag sa mantekilya, “booter”.
Anna,
I did say I am a fan of Manny Pacquiao. No double talk there. All you have as basis for trashing the man is from his statement about his expenses. That’s it! You admitted that you really don’t know nor have any interest in him. Yet you call him names and so intent in putting him in a bad light.
What has he done to you?
Come on, what is it really? You bring up how well to do you are, how much you might be paying in taxes, how you give money to people, etc, etc, etc. And for what? Just to justify your calling Pacquiao an idiot?
Wow!!!
Not that this has anything to do with Pacquiao being called an idiot, but here is an article about Manny Pacquiao and Taxes. Those interested can use google to find out more.

Come on, what is it really? You bring up how well to do you are, how much you might be paying in taxes, how you give money to people, etc, etc, etc. And for what? Just to justify your calling Pacquiao an idiot?
Wow! That is the most ridiculously absurd, really atrociously absurd sequence of events ever laid out by a comemnter about a comment in this blog. Use a bit of your grey cells, will you?
My “trashing” your idol, as you call it, has nothing to do about knowing or not knowing him. It was a comment about what he said, no more no less, a reply/commentary as well to the title of this post.
That said, let me tell you a secret: You cannot expect the whole of mankind, particularly in a “public” forum as this to idolise Pakyaw the way you do. That on the basis of your belief that your boxer should be a hero, you become personal about it and immediately become incredibly aggressive, all because people do not conform to the way you see him.
You’ve personally attacked me (and others here) because I’ve/we’ve aired our comments. Do you honestly believe you are making sense?
Remember, no one is stopping you from lauding your hero… it’s your right to hold your hero to the highest standard of heroship and proclaim it for everyone to see — you are obsessed with him, that’s your problem!
But there is no need to be personal about it and go on personal attacks against a fellow commenter to get your message across. If your aim is to provoke a hostile exchange, then I bow to you — you are suceeding…
Again, no one stopping you from defending your hero but in the same manner, you have absolutely no right to make everybody raise your hero onto the pedestal that you’ve put him. Just doesn’t work that way.
If you haven’t realised this yet, then I recommend you think hard about it and I hope you get back to your senses.
(And for your information, just so we put things on their proper perspective: If owning properties makes one rich in Pinas, that is your and your definition and your perception alone — not mine. To me, owning properties, doesn’t make someone necessarily well-off or rich particularly if these properties don’t produce income so paying taxes, whether in the amount of 1,000 pesos or 20,000 pesos to Pinas will always be a lot to me and just because you mistake it for being highhanded on my part doesn’t mean that it was my message; it’s your interpretation which I’m glad to rectify here and now.
Goes to show that you are becoming paranoid and your passion, obsession for Pakyaw is clouding your judgment.
Grow up or rather, gather your sense before things worsen. Really not worth it for you to suffer a heart or cerebral attack over Pakyaw. Think of your family!!!
Oh last thing, let’s say you Isagani, were running for a seat in Congress and then announced or pronounced the following:
Let me tell you that I would make the same remark I made about your hero in reaction to the abouve idiotic pronouncement.
Nothing to do with knowing or not knowing you. The mere fact that you would write “Kawawa naman ang pamilya ko. Mauubos ang pera ko” and yet would continue to distribute your money left right and center would draw the same reaction from me, and I believe from others too.
Anna,
It seems to me that your arguments gets rather old and applies more to you than anyone else. So, let us just say that we agree to disagree on this one.
That’s a very warped way to finish your plea. You haven’t replied to my challenge yet Isagani but if you want to put closure to it, fine by me… Courage is perhaps not your forte.
Tapos na ang boksing? 🙂 🙂 🙂
🙂 in other words TKO si engot, Chi!
Not yet, there’s more boksing!! Last time I checked, I owe 24k on my house in Baguio, but won’t pay them until they show me a proof taxes are being by the congressman on his several properties, or if Manong Ernie paid taxes for those two luxury vehicles; until then, patigasan na lang…even if the City Treasurer is my sister’s sis-in-law.
Hahaha!!!
Eksit muna ako.
Payamanan na pala ang usapan dine.
Sana merong magpautang sa aken ng pambili ng sinelas.
Butas na, eh! My foots are kissing the land.
Ay! Ano ba ‘yun?
mayroon ding mayaman sa utang tulad ng pinas.
I don’t know about you, Ellen, but it seems like things are getting out of hand and getting a wee bit more personal. Can’t we just go back to our usual harmonious exchange of opinions without antagonizing the other ?
Have a nice day everyone.
I’ve erased the unpleasant exchanges. That should be the end of it. I’ll erase if anything of that sort comes up again.
Ellen,
It seems that what you erased is only my last comment which was only to respond to “exchanges” I tried to close earlier.
It this Ellenville fairness?
Isagani, I’ve erased the last two comments. One by Anna, and one by you.
It’s no longer pleasant. Not only for you and Anna but for all other readers.
My healthy advice: let go (of the subject)
hay buhay pinoy. walang pagbabago sa ellenville.
bakit kailangan pang sabihin na idiot si pakyaw. walang maidudulot sa diskusyon. pati ang ambisyon na mag-aral pinagtatawanan. bakit hindi bigyan ng ‘benefit of the doubt’? kung si erap binigyan ng pagkakataon, bakit hindi si pakyaw?
hindinah-pinoy,
Wala namang pumipigil sa pagpalaot ni Pakwan sa pulitika, ah.
Ang hindi maganda ‘yung mga tinuran niya. Saka kulang na kulang siya sa karanasan. Dapat nag-umpisa muna siya sa ibaba. Magkonsehal muna siya bilang pasimula.
Lumayo din siya sa mga nakapaligid sa kanyang circulo de kawatan katulad nina Swab-It Swingson at pamilya dorobo.
Was he ever asked why he is opting (to run) for a legislative postion instead of an executive post? Does he even know the difference? O mas masarap lang pakinggan ang titulong “Congressman”?
triggerman,
Ikaw ba, ayaw mo ng pork barrel?
‘Yun ang target ni Pakyaw na ipamigay daw sa mga humihingi ng tulong.
Yun na nga e. Ni hindi niya alam yung gagawin niya. O kung bakit siya nandoon.
I have always been an advocate of equal opportunity, pero por Diyos por Santo, dapat naman merong qualifications. Hindi tugma yung solusyon niya dun sa problemang gusto niyang solusyunan.
Ang problema ay marami raw nangangailangan ng tulong. Ang solusyon ba ay maging legislator?
Ang nasa isip niya na ang pork barrel ang gagamitin niyang pantulong ay maling-mali dahil hindi niya trabaho yan.
Kailangan bang ipagsigawan sa harap ng mukha ni Pakyaw na ang trabaho niya ay ang paggawa ng batas?
Tongue,
Galing mo talaga!
Bull’s eye!
Ikaw, matitigan mo lang naglilihi na.
Kailangan bang ipagsigawan sa harap ng mukha ni Pakyaw na ang trabaho niya ay ang paggawa ng batas? – Tongue
Isara ko nga ito ng “Bwahahaha”!

RE: hay buhay pinoy. walang pagbabago sa ellenville.
KOREK…kasi nga po Kgg. Dinah-pinoy, ang Ellenville ay komunidad ng mga Noypi saan man dako ng mundo.
May kalayaan ang bawat isa upang magpahayag ng saloobin at pagpuna sa mga kinauukulan na ang ugali-e-asal.
Dito masusubok ang katatagan ng paninindigan ng sinuman sa mga kabloggers kung papaano mangungusap upang ipahayag ng bawat isa ang saloobin na kaakibat e kapupulutan ng aral ng simunang magsasadya sa Ellenville garden.
Pare-pareho tayong natututo sa anumang paksa na ating tinatalakay at malaking factor ito sa mga mambabasang Pinoy…upang maging daan ito ng sila naman e makaunawa kung ano ba ang tama o mali.
E ka nga, negative criticism e healthy ito kung atin lamang uunawain in positive way para ating mapag-alaman kung ano na nga ba ang ngayayari sa ating lipunan, lalo na ang pangpulitikal na pananaw sa buhay.
KOREK Igan MPR, mali ata ang pinasok ni Pacman na maging isang Kongresman?
Para sa buong kaalaman ng Noypi…ang Kongreso e para lamang sa mga kinauukulan na mayroong karanasan sa pagbalangkas o pagbuo ng isang BATAS o maraming batas na siyang panuntunan na dapat isakatuparan at sundin ng mamamayang Pinoy o panglabas na alituntunin.
Alam mo, i’m a product of 9th National Congress of College Students na ginanap sa Teachers Camp, Baguio city…bilang President ng College Youth Organization sa aming school at member ng College Student Youth Council e naging papel namin doon e bilang mangbabatas.
At dito ko na experience ang gumawa ng batas…buong Pinas ang dumalo dito at naging Commission Chairman ako at nakasama ko ang Editor-in-Chief ng Lyceum of the Philippines, may taga-UP, TIP, at ibang schools sa aming komisyon.
Well, nice experience at dito ko napagtanto ang kahalagahan na dapat ang mahalal bilang Kongresman e mayroong experience sa paggawa ng batas or else totoo yong kwento na magbubutas lamang sila ng silya.
Ang dapat kay Pacman at sa iba pang gustong pumalaot sa Pagka-Kongresman o kaya Senador e dapat may experience sa paggawa ng batas or else graduate ng Political Science and Law graduates.
Ang hirap kasi ang mga botante e wala rin namang alam…basta ang gusto nila e ang masusunod, bukang-bibig nga ng mga Noypi pera pera ngayon ang laban…kung mahaba ang pisi mo e sure panalo ka sa eleksyon (oppsss, walang kokontra kasi nga po baka isingit nýo si C5 con Taga ha or other personality na kaaway ng taong bayan).
OK Pakyaw is an idiot. He was called an idiot for speaking out loud his mind about his future and his family. To some he is an idiot for supporting Villar and not the others.
He is then an idiot, so what’s the beef?
Nobody is perfect and so everybody, and I mean everybody no exception, not just one time but many times over in our lives acted idiotic or put our foot in our mouth and said idiotic things and ANYONE who denies it and claims to be perfect is a liar.
To recap we are all idiots one time or another and this time belongs to Pakyaw. It’s his moment to be an idiot.
