Presidential aspirant and incumbent Senator Manny Pacquiao said he has no plans of withdrawing his presidential bid for the 2022 elections.
Pacquiao made the statement after the camp of a presidential aspirant and former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said that they were eying bets with bailiwicks in Visayas and Mindanao to be the latter’s running mate or vice president.
Should he win as president, Pacquiao said he can do a lot to help the Filipinos and resolve the problems of the country, including the recovery of the economy. “Nagpapasalmat ako [dahil] isang karangalan na ma konsidera ng iba’t ibang partido na maging vice. Pero hindi po ako tatakbo na vice tuloy po ako sa pagka presidente dahil alam kong mas marami akong magagawa na tulungan ang ating mga kababayan at maibalik sa normal ang ating ekonomiya at maresulba ang ating mga problema, lalong-lalo na makita ko sa kulungan ang mga kawatan sa gobyerno,” said Pacquiao.
