Last August 22, Tuesday, after the heated Senate hearing on the drug-related extrajudicial killings under the Duterte administration, Filipino boxing icon and legislator Manny Pacquiao started his preparations for his upcoming fight on November 5 against WBO Welterweight Champion Jessie Vargas.
The former Sarangani representative and current Senator posted a photo of his training in his official Instagram account. He wrote: “Back to training with my friend and trainer Buboy Fernandez.”
Throughout his political career, Manny, who is an 8-division world champion, has been severely criticized for juggling his duties as a public servant and his boxing fights. However, his camp promised that his training will not interfere with his duties as a senator, as reported in GMA News.
