Manny Pacquiao should hang up his gloves

Your Aug. 27 editorial (“It’s time, Manny”) leads us to look at the record of the accomplished boxer.

He was a Great Pretender as congressman, contending for Top Absentee.

For our people to elect him as Senator is a form of estafa.

As senator, while he occasionally criticizes the Palace, he had two months preparing for his latest fight. That time he could have devoted to proving his charges last June of administration corruption. But nothing, while our cynical people may be getting insensitive to such claims over the decades.

Indeed, being a Great Pretender may be another form of corruption.

We don’t advise that if anyone reaches a fork in the road to take it. Manny should hang up his gloves.
