candidacy of Sen. Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao, who has given up his illustrious boxing
career to try to succeed Duterte on June 30. Macababbad (2022) In his interview with
Karen Davila (2022) Pacquiao, according to Zamora, has built thousands of houses for
free, out of his own pocket, and with his own money. One of his primary goals is to
