Boxing icon and politician Manny Pacquiao announced his candidacy in the Philippine 2022 presidential elections. Accepting the nomination of his PDP-Laban party at its national convention on September 19, 2021, Pacquiao pledged to campaign against poverty and corruption. He is considered by many to be one of the greatest boxers of all time, as the only fighter to hold world titles in eight different divisions. While some see Pacquiao as living proof that success is possible for anyone who works hard, critics say the high school dropout will merely be a puppet leader.
