SARANGANI Rep. Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao on Monday asked the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to junk requests to stop the airing of his upcoming fight with Timothy Bradley, saying it does not constitute a violation of election laws.

“For obvious reasons, there is no legal basis to entertain their requests. Hence, with utmost respect, the Honorable Law Department should refuse to grant the requests in the letters of Rep. (Walden) Bello and Atty. (Rene) Saguisag,” said Pacquiao through counsels Romulo Macalintal and Antonio Carlos Bautista.
