MANILA, Philippines – Bishops are one with the nation in lauding the recent win of Manny Pacquiao over his Mexican foe.
Now that the fight is over, it?s time that he should retire and face his constituents in the province of Sarangani, they said.
In an interview over Radio Veritas, Marbel Bishop Dinualdo Gutierrez said: ?Thank God, Pacquiao won. He should now choose his priority.?
Antipolo Auxiliary Bishop Francis de Leon also echoed the same concern.
?Congrats! Now that you won, it is time retire and focus on your district,? said de Leon.
The prelate earlier expressed concern that his boxing career would overshadow his role as a lawmaker.
The bishops? calls came amid Pacquiao?s statements he want to ?continue to fight.?
