Filipino boxing icon Emmanuel
“Manny” Pacquiao meet Mexican
boxer Antonio Margarito on Oct.

Pacquiao, a member of the
House of Representatives after
winning in the May 2010 elec-

constituents by not giving them his
full attention, said Marbel Bishop
Dinualdo Gutierrez.
“It’s really a big hindrance.
How can you serve full time if you
are practicing because your focus
is boxing?” the bishop said.
