BOXING hero Manny Pacquiao will not be rooting for this aspiring political party.
Aside from opposing the congressional pork barrel system and the death penalty, the Alliance for the Common Good, a movement led by gun control advocate Reynaldo Pacheco and lawyer Mario Ongkiko, is against any form of “institutionalized violence,” including the sport of boxing.
This was part of the platform that the alliance, which also calls itself Kapatiran, presented at a press conference Friday.
The group filed a petition with the Commission on Elections Thursday, asking to be recognized as a party so it can participate in the 2004 elections.
