Pacquiao is now being nominated to be the faction's presidential candidate for the 2022 elections #PHVote

BREAKING: PDP-Laban president and Senator Manny Pacquiao is running for president for the 2022 elections. Pacquiao accepted the nomination of the party at the national assembly on Sunday, September 19.

Pacquiao says, "Yes, I accept." A video of Pacquiao plays at the background using Freddie Aguilar's Bayan Ko.

Pacquiao: I am a fighter and I will always be a fighter inside and outside the ring. Sa buong buhay ko wala akong laban na inatrasan. Sa laban ng prinsipyo, karangalan ng bayan ay tumayo ako nanindigan at nakikipaglaban

Pacquiao says he can connect with the masses because he experienced poverty himself: Naranasan nyo na po bang magutom? Walang makain. Mangutang sa kapitbahay?

Pacquiao says change is needed: The time is now. We are ready to rise to the challenge of leadership.

Pacquiao: To PDP-Laban, I urge you to bear this in mind, the strength of our party lies in the trust of our people.

Pacquiao: Sa takdang araw na ito, gusto kong alalahanin nyo sa ngalan ng mga kababayan nating matagal nang naghahangad ng pagbabago, tapat na serbisyo sa mamayang Pilipino, buong puso ko, buong tapang at kababang loob, ay umaasa ako sa inyong suporta.

Pacquiao will be running on an anti-corruption platform: Tinatanggap ko po ang inyong suporta bilang kandidato sa pagkapangulo ng Republika ng Pilipinas. Panahon na para bumangon na ang mga naapi. Panahan ng malinis na gobyerno.

Pacquiao to corrupt people in government: Malapit na kayo magsasama sa kulungan. Your time is up.
