How refreshing, college students taking a political stand!
At yesterday’s NCAA championship game between Letran Knights and San Beda Red Lions college basketball fans jeered sportsman-congressman Manny Pacquiao when his name was announced.
“Huwag iboto,” the crowd chanted. The Saranggani Representative is running for senator next year despite having a poor track record, appearing at the House of Representatives only four days last year.
So what was Pacquiao doing there? The multi-tasking boxer also happens to be the team manager of the Letran Knights. It was his second appearance this basketball season.
Proving what a good sport he is, Pacman did not let the chant dampen his mood. His team later won the championship match 85-82— thereby ending the Red Lion’s five-year winning streak — and so he promised each player a PHP100,000.
