Manny Pacquiao now fights in congress – Video

Manny Pacquiao, the boxing champion, was sworn in as a congressman of the Sarangani province, vowing to be even more effective in government than he is in the ring.

Wearing an traditional barong rather than his boxing outfit, Manny Pacquiao was among other local officials who took their oaths of office in the capital of the Sarangani province.

“I will be more effective in politics than in boxing,” he told the crowd of 3,000 after the ceremony.

The 31-year-old fighter said he would work on improving infrastructure, medical services and security during his three-year term in parliament.

Before the ceremony, Manny Pacquiao transferred from the Nacionalista Party (NP) to the Liberal Party. And now enjoy the video.
