Manny Pacquiao, nagiging tuta na ni Arroyo?

I hope this is not true, kasi he seems to be parroting the admin line, according to Henrietto:

Kasi sang-ayon sya sa State of Emergency, at talagang nagcomment sya sa opposisyon na tigilan na ang pulitika!

And there were also recent reports na balak raw ng Arroyo officials na gamitin si Pacquiao para itulak ang CHA CHA (Charter change)

From the PDI:

IMAGINE the likes of Filipino boxing idol Manny Pacquiao and Miss International Lara Quigaman joining other sports luminaries and movie and TV stars in rooting for constitutional reform?

"But first things first," said Mayor Edward Hagedorn of Puerto Princesa City. Are Pacquiao and other pop icons for Charter change? Is political change among their concerns?

This is "worth exploring," said Hagedorn, chair of the 117-member League of Cities of the Philippines.

But celebrities and noncelebrities alike are "welcome to take part in this nationwide endeavor called 'a people's initiative."'

"Every person counts and has a responsible role to play in this worthy cause," said Hagedorn, a staunch ally of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Pacquiao tells the opposition to stop playing politics raw. Well, let's just hope na he himself will not be used politically to sell ARroyo's Constitution.

Sayang naman kung gagawin mo yan, dahil hinahangaan ko pa naman ikaw bilang isang magaling na boksingero.

Here's what ARroyo's Constitution looks like.
