   Manny Pacquiao and
Vicente “Tito” Sotto III are
one of the country’s current
most famous celebrity
politician. According to
Pertierra  (2017), Sen.
Manny Pacquiao is a world
champion boxer and nicknamed
as “Ang Pambansang Kamao”.

Like Estrada, according to
The Telegraph (2011),
Pacquiao lived in poverty
during his early life where
he rose because of his fame
in boxing. Eradicating
poverty is  also the focus
of his campaign and even
using £25 million of his
personal fortune to support
projects in his province.
   According to Valencia
 (2017), he first became as
a congressman of Sarangani
province where he did so
because of wanting to help
more people.
