Manila: World boxing champion Manny Pacquiao has decided to study business administration and English in a bid to manage his earnings and to improve his language abilities in school.
“It is good to study business so that I can take care of my business interests,” Pacquiao said in a TV interview.
He has established the Manny Pacquiao Promotions Incorporation, which will handle his boxing bouts and oversee all other business interests and ventures.
Pacquiao has made millions endorsing products in the Philippines and is worth millions of dollars.
“I will no longer take up political science,” he said, hinting he has given up his dream of becoming a politician.
But Pacquiao has enrolled his two sons at the pre-school section of the Brent International School in suburban Pasig. They will both study law.
Career
Upon leaving school, Pacquiao became a baker and then a construction worker before he made his name in boxing.
He recently passed a test, given by the education department, which allowed him to graduate from high school.
