In an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN's Karen Davila, the boxer-senator said being a president is 'anointed by God'.
This was Sen. Manny Pacquiao's call to those urging Davao Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio to run for president in 2022 and succeed her father, President Rodrigo Duterte.
Members of the ruling party PDP-Laban's national council, which Pacquiao chairs, earlier voted on a resolution urging Duterte to run fornvice president despite the senator's opposition. "Nagsulat ako sa Pangulo na magkaroon kami ng meeting, as a chairman and President, para pag-usapan namin 'yung plano ng partido. Pag-usapan namin lahat kung bagay ba, tama ba na baba siya, kung maganda ba o hindi ... ako naman diretso ako magsalita eh.
Pacquiao however said he's not holding a grudge against Cusi, who earlier claimed that it was Duterte who told him to hold that meeting. Albay 2nd District Rep. Joey Salceda earlier said there is "no doubt in his mind" that Duterte-Carpio will run for president in next year's elections.
