POOR Manny.
He’s made us proud time and again with his incredible exploits inside the boxing ring, but his ill-fated decision to enter the political arena resulted in a humiliating defeat.
What’s worse, if this information from a reader of Philippine Daily Inquirer columnist Recah Trinidad is true, Pacquiao lost the election and a lot of his own money because he was “knocked out” by his own general campaign manager.
Here’s an excerpt from Recah’s column piece:
Reader Renato Ramones Reyes, who gave his address at 10 Magsaysay Avenue, Gen. Santos City, threw most of the blame on Pacquiao’s general campaign manager whom he described as an irresponsible, greedy, incompetent hanger-on who took advantage of Pacquiao’s sincerity and innocence:

We reprint the handwritten letter in its original form:
Dear Sir,
Binabasa ko yong column mo “Bare Eye” lalo na kung si Manny Pacquiao ang subject matter mo. Hindi totoo na si Darlene at si GMA ang nag-knockout kay Manny. Maybe kung sa points 20 percent lang. Ang malaking dahilan ng pagkatalo ni Manny ay ang kanyang General Campaign Manager (GCM), na incompetent, tamad, lasengo, womanizer, sugarol, sabungero, at marami pang iba.

Sometimes people think na malaki ang maitutulong nila kong papasok sila sa politcs, but they didn’t realize that the politics is the dirtiest proffession…but we can’t blame Pacman, he thinks that popularity is the best asset when in comes to politics for you to easy to win the election, at malamang yan din ang promise ng mga politicians behind his candidacy…since he lose..he will learned from that lesson…he is meant for boxing not for anything else…kaya na po natin sya masyado sisihin mga kababayan…im not agree with his decision entering on politics, but we don’t have right to hinder what he wants to do…PACMAN GOODLUCK TO YOUR BOXING CAREER! we still proud of you!
