FROM OUR ARCHIVES: The premise is simple: can Manny Pacquiao the boxer be separated from Manny Pacquiao the senator?

Pacquiao first tried his hand at politics when he ran as representative of the first district of South Cotabato in 2007 under the Liberal Party. However, he lost to Darlene Antonino-Custodio by around 65,000 votes.

In 2016, Pacquiao announced his desire to move up to the upper chamber of congress. Shortly before the start of his campaign for a seat in the Senate, his reputation among sports brands took a blow when he compared gay people toEven before the statement, Pacquiao had been known for hardline views on religion.
