Apart from boxing, Manny Pacquiao often finds himself in headlines for his active political role as the Senator of the Philippines. Starting from his tenure in 2016, ‘Pac-Man’ has been associated with several social welfare tasks, and the latest came with his active initiative in aiding his countrymen during the covid-19 wreckage.
