The thing that excites outgoing Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao nowadays is working in the Upper Chamber, not working on his uppercut.
Consequently, Pacquiao is no longer coached by boxing icon Freddie Roach, but by professors from the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) and the Ateneo School of Government.
?I am excited with my new job in the Senate,? said the 37-year-old Pacquiao, who comfortably won a Senate seat last month without even launching a nationwide campaign.
This is why he has vowed to continue learning the ropes in governance and legislation via school and actual training.
Pacquiao, who served one three-year term in the House of Representatives (HOR), entered on Monday the sixth day of his ?Executive Coaching Program? being conducted by DAP-Ateneo.
?I have to prepare and familiarize myself with the intricacies and nitty-gritty of my job as senator, so, I have to submit myself to this kind of training,? the former eight-division boxing champion said. Pacquiao is taking his Senate job seriously, noting that he ?owes it to the Filipino people who voted for me.? He landed seventh in the Senatorial race after receiving 16,050,546 votes.
