He is ruining his career. I mean he is not even a high school Graduate and he might punch some people in the Congressional debates.

I imagine if he is running to get into politics, or any position in the government, he would get in easily, just because of his immense popularity. But at the same time, if Manny does get a position in the Phillipines government, you have to ask yourself how much time it would take away from his boxing.
In my view, while he is still boxing, this will prove an immense distraction. If he does win the mayoral election (which he will - all he'll have to do is run), my guess is that he will have to spend more time there, rather than training in Vegas with Freddie Roach for most of the year.
If I were Manny Pacquiao, I would wait until after my career was finished. Then he can think about all the side ventures, such as entering the political arena.

Hey Joselito, I'm Cj from the Phipippines. I would just like to update you on Manny's current political status. Manny has recently announced that he will no longer be running for a political spot. He granted the wish of millions of Filipino's by doing so. His country wishes to see him fight and be our inspiration rather than join the political turmoil.
For Manny's part, I think he made the right decision. I'm a big fan of his and I wouldn't want to see him neglect the sport that has made him what he is today.

One can never really tell the true sentiments of Gen. Santos residents whose votes really matter. But for a Metro Manilan like me running for congress will definitely distract him from his true calling.
