A Church official has advised boxing star Manny Pacquiao to gun for a mayoral post instead of a congressional seat if ever he pushes through with his plan to run in the May 2010 elections.
Bishop Dinualdo Gutierrez of the Diocese of Marbel said he has heard talks that Pacquiao is planning to run for mayor of General Santos City or as a representative of Saranggani.
"Kung sa mayor pwede siya, pero kung sa congressman mahihirapan siya [He can do better as a mayor but as a congressman, he will have a hard time]," Gutierrez said in an interview with the Church-run Radio Veritas.
Gutierrez explained that Pacquiao still needs to know more about legislation and the law-making process. He, however, said the boxer can still help and serve his constituents even without entering government service. - Philippine Star
