Drilon supports Pacman’s return to boxing

Senate President Franklin Drilon on Thursday expressed support to eight-division world champion and now senator Manny Pacquiao’s return to boxing as long as he will not neglect his duties in the Senate.

“I am a lawyer and I can exercise my profession as a lawyer. A businessman can continue running his/her business while being a member of the legislature, an entertainer can continue his or her profession while being a member of the congress, why should we impose a different standard to a professional boxer? That’s why I am supporting Senator Pacquiao’s decision to box again because that is his profession,” Drilon said.
