Politics is indeed a funny business.
That was what Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson said Friday as he confirmed the plans of his colleagues Senators Christopher “Bong” Go and Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao – both from Mindanao – to run for a higher government position in next year’s national elections.
Go served as the assistant-confidant of President Duterte when the chief executive was still the mayor of Davao City while Pacquiao is a true-blue Mindanaoan who rose into international consciousness due to his stellar boxing exploits.
