Many know Manny Pacquiao as one of the best pound for pound boxer of all times but not many know he is also a politician and lawmaker in his country, Philippines.
Pacquiao who lost to Floyd Mayweather Jr in a fight dubbed “Fight of the Century” has shown he has a big heart.
While Nigerian lawmakers are struggling to get N4 Billion approved for their new cars, this selfless boxer built houses for thousands of residents in his constituency and gave them out for free, sending a message to other lawmakers across the world especially those from Africa and Nigeria who have been repeatedly accused of doing very little for their constituencies.
I am so happy giving these houses free to my constituents in Sarangani Province for more than thousand families. pic.twitter.com/iQFbqWPxXC— Manny Pacquiao (@mannypacquiao) February 14, 2016
On 14 February, on his official Twitter account, he wrote: “I am so happy giving these houses free to my constituents in Sarangani Province for more than thousand families.”
His gesture did not go unnoticed as by millions on Twitter as they prayed for him and wished him well.
Pacquiao has formally declared he is running for senator.
Below are responses to his gesture:

Sorry NE! Remember MANNY is not a POLITICIAN, he is a sportsman_cum_politician, while Nigerian politicians are crooks_cum_politicians. So do not expect anything near what Manny has done for his people from our political crooks.

DeleteYes, I agree with you that, EL-MATORIOUS may have turned a new leaf and shed the toga of ethnic and religious sentiments. Let's observe him and see some more of his comments before making final conclusion. However if this is just a fluke, then EL_MATORIOUS should be ready for harder spanking.
