In 2007, Pacquiao made his first attempt to enter politics, running for a seat in
the House of Representatives of the Philippines. He was defeated by
incumbent Rep. Darlene Antonino-Custodio, and returned to life as a full-time
boxer. In 2009, however, Pacquiao formed a new Filipino political party, the
People's Champ Movement, and again ran for a legislative seat. He won in a
landslide, beating opponent Roy Chiongbian to become the Sarangani
province representative in May 2010. Three years later, he earned a second
term after running unopposed for relection.
