“Although I am touched and extremely honored, tuloy ang laban natin sa pagka-pangulo,” the presidential aspirant says.
Amid reports that he is being eyed as a running mate of another aspirant, Senator Manny Pacquiao on Wednesday maintained he will push through with his presidential bid in the 2022 polls.
Marcos said their camp is also considering Pacquiao if the boxer-turned-lawmaker would be willing to “slide down” to the vice presidency. Meanwhile, Senator Koko Pimentel, who co-leads a PDP-Laban faction with Pacquiao, also noted that the vice presidency is not on the latter’s radar. “The ticket must be ideologically consistent too. [Manny Pacquiao] and Marcoses are worlds apart in their analysis of what ails our country,” Pimentel said.
Pacquiao formalized his presidential bid earlier this month, being the first hopeful to file his certificate of candidacy for next year's elections. He will be running alongside Buhay Party-list Rep. Lito Atienza.
