“I,_MICHAEL MARLEY, solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines and obey the laws and local orders promulgated by the duly constituted authorities of the Philippines, and I hereby declare that I recognize and accept the supreme authority of the Philippines and will maintain true faith and allegiance thereto, and that I impose this obligation upon myself voluntarily without mental reservation or purpose of evasion.”
That’s the pledge. So where do I sign?
I am not joking. Can I get dual citizenship in the PI? If so, I will fulfill all my requirements in terms of citizenship and suffrage. I am single so if I have to marry a gorgeous Filipina, well I will suffer those slings and arrows without complaint.
Lawyer Jing Gacal: please write me at [email protected] with details. Perhaps I can be a campaign adviser to Pacman.
Freddie Roach: I would like to work with you on visiting all necessary pubs in Gensan to get the important Irish-Filipino vote out for Mayor Manny.
Michael Koncz: Manny, I mean many election favorites, have gone down to defeats at the polls because they did not conduct energetic campaigns. As the one who sleeps on the floor in the future mayor’s bedroom, I know you will make sure our candidate always has his 40 winks even when the others only get 20 winks. Not to be confused with Winky Wright!
Salven Lagumbay: Our esteemed correspondent and trusted IBF fight judge. You, sir, may write that Marley is Gensan bound and that I want to know where I may cast my ballots, sorry I mean individual ballot. Do they take Florida Hanging Chads in Gensan?
I hereby officially disavow my plans to move to Bacalod or Cebu City. I wonder what a bachelor pad in Gensan, with room for three overstuffed cats, will cost me?
Manny, you got my vote! I would not vote for Jorge Solis for dogcatcher of Guadalajara, Mexico, you know.
After all, we boxing scribes must be impartial….after you take office, lol.
