Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao has said he will run for president of the country next year

His faction has not expressed support for Mr Duterte's vice-presidential bid.The current president is prohibited from running for a second six-year term by the country's constitution.But despite his popularity, he has lagged in opinion polls which have consistently been topped by Mr Duterte's daughter, Sara Duterte-Carpio.

Mr Pacquiao was voted out as PDP-Laban leader in July after he challenged Mr Duterte about his alliance with China and record on fighting corruption. Mr Pacquiao was once a close ally of Mr Duterte, but has said more than 10 billion pesos in pandemic aid intended for poor families remains unaccounted for.It comes as the Senate opened an investigation into alleged overpricing of medical supplies and equipment purchased by the government through its pandemic response programme.

Mr Duterte challenged Mr Pacquiao to name corrupt government officials and Mr Pacquiao responded by warning corrupt government officials would go to jail.

Canada election: Why it’s easier to vote in Canada than the USThings like advanced voting and federally-run elections make it easier for Canadians to vote. Because Canada is vastly superior Why? Because we’re not Americans who are seemingly powerless to stop political corruption, including voter suppression in that country. We have a tradition of well run elections. Political interference in machinery of elections would generate a swift response from voters here. Because Canada operate as a more civil society that respects everyone’s right to vote … a better reliable trusted system … and no GOP 👍
