Manny Paquiao's desire to run as Congressman for General Santos City is known to many since early 2007. But as much as I like him I feared of how ill-equipped he is in becoming a representative. This fear was confirmed with the recent Solar Sports versus ABS-CBN fiasco. On March 18 2009 ABS CBN aired Manny's "announcement" that he will transfer the tv rights of his fight with Hatton from Solar Sports to ABS CBN. But the problem is, his contract with Solar Sports is good until May 2011 . Any common folk could understand that a contract is legal and binding. And if you fall short of what you have agreed to in the contract you will definitely face charges. He shouldn't have allowed ABS CBN to coax him into falling into their scheme. At the very least, he should've been smart enough to consult his lawyer before allowing ABS CBN to cajole him.
Please don't get me wrong. I am one of the millions of Filipinos who admire him and is so proud of all that he has accomplished that gave a remarkable recognition for Filipinos worldwide. Aside from being an outstanding boxer I also acknowledge his magnanimity as a philanthropist, patriot, son, father and friend. But I seriously believe he knows very little about politics and governance. I believe he is a good man with a kind heart. He should not allow his goodness to be tainted by "pulitika". But if he does make his way in Congress I hope he'll have wise advisers and a very good lawyer.
