‘Di mahalaga pera! Pacquiao claims he ain’t materialistic like other presidential bets

Senator Manny Pacquiao claims he’s not materialistic despite becoming a bilyonaryo through boxing.

In an interview on Politiko Live’s “Politiskoop” Friday (Sept. 3), Pacquiao said his sincerity and lack of interest in material things set him apart from other presidential contenders.

“Ang pagkakaiba ko siguro wholeheartedly sasabihin ko sa inyo ‘yung pagiging sincere ko, sinsero ko sa puso ko na gusto kong mabago ang ating bansa, matulungan ang mga kababayan natin, at unang-una ayokong mag-compromise to anybody,” he said.

“At kakaiba ko lang siguro hindi ako materialistic na person, at hindi ako, yung mga bagay dito sa mundo hindi mahalaga sa akin ‘yan,” the senator added.

More than amassing riches, Pacquiao said he’s more focused on helping other people. The eight-division boxing champion said his hard work also makes him distinct from other politikos.

“Ako kasi isang atleta. ‘Pag may pangarap po ako na gusto kong abutin talagang yung effort, yung hard work, yung dedication ko nandiyan more than 100 per cent pa sabihin natin. At nandiyan with the guidance of God I think we can change a lot,” he said.
