Pacquiao questions Bongbong's timing in seeking presidency

Presidential candidate Senator Manny Pacquiao questioned Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s timing in seeking the presidency, suggesting Marcos Jr. had ample opportunity to develop his home province but did not.

Pacquiao emphasized that the Philippines is a democratic nation where citizens are free to choose their candidates, disputing claims of strong support for Marcos Jr. in northern Luzon.

He asserted that many voters in the region are looking for genuine change rather than a continuation of traditional governance.

During his campaign in Cauayan, Isabela, Pacquiao noted significant turnout and support, indicating a substantial presence of his own followers in the area.

Pacquiao alluded to the Marcos family's alleged selective approach to assisting Filipinos, questioning why they are only entering politics now despite having power.

The senator asked the public to give him a chance to serve as the country's leader to demonstrate what he can achieve in six years.
