Being one of the strongest role models of the country, Pacquiao’s words were certainly a silver lining. However, they weren’t enough to cope up with the tragedy. ‘Pac-Man’ recently posted some pictures from his Twitter account, showcasing the exact condition of the country at this point.
“If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”

It is clear that there has been severe damage to property and many have seemingly been left homeless. Not only that, but the scarcity of proper sanitation and food can also be a problem. While COVID-19 is still not over, this is an additional hurdle for the Philippines.
Will Manny Pacquiao return to boxing amid such conditions?
Pacquiao had his last fight against Keith Thurman in 2019. Earlier this year, he was rumored to return to the ring against Terence Crawford.
Then, it was rumored that he might bag a cross-promotion boxing match against Conor McGregor. However, none of these fights ever materialized.
