Eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao has retired from professional boxing. He is a presidential aspirant for the upcoming elections in his home country of the Philippines and has begun working towards his new goal. Meanwhile, Pacquiao’s believers say that the former world champion truly wants to work with his countrymen and has been doing so for a long time.

Pacquiao and his team recently hosted a motorcade near Metro Manila on Sunday to express support towards the victims of Typhoon Odette.

The non-political motorcade happened in the wake of the New Year and Atty. Lemuel Dolot, The Makabayang Propesyonal Para kay Manny Pacquiao (MP4MP) spokesman, shared more about the event and expressed his faith in ‘Pac-Man’.

Per reports, he said, “This was not a political motorcade. We did not go out to ask people to vote for Manny Pacquiao but show them that despite our hardships, we should not lose hope for a better life this year. We also want to use the motorcade as our rallying point in our campaign to secure more help for the victims of Odette.”

“He is the only one who has the purest heart and the best intention” to serve the nation.”

Manny Pacquiao has served as the Senator of his country and has been a perfect role model to his countrymen. Besides, he has aided his nation in several serious causes, which Lemuel Dolot didn’t forget to mention in the interaction. From providing scholarships to building houses, Pacquiao has supported his people in several ways.

Will we ever see Manny Pacquiao in the sports world again?

After a heartbreaking attempt at the WBA title against Yordenis Ugas in August, ‘Pac-Man’ announced his retirement. With world titles in eight different divisions, he has done it all and doesn’t really need to fight at the age of 42. He has fought for over 25 years and is a sure-shot entrant into the boxing Hall of Fame.

Nevertheless, we can still see him in charitable showdowns. He is reportedly in talks to meet his boxing foe, Floyd Mayweather, in an exhibition basketball game.

The event can happen this year, with both sides fielding a team of four. Former NBA players can also appear in the event as it will raise money for charitable purposes. Hence, we can still expect more of ‘Pac-Man’ in the sporting world.
