Presidential aspirant Sen. Manny Pacquiao on Saturday gave a candid answer on the reason behind his being a top absentee in the House of Representatives.
Pacquiao, who was the former representative of the lone district of Sarangani, said he chose to stay with his district to monitor the “Pacman Village” he had established to provide free housing for his constituents.
“Ang binabasehan nilang absent ako noong panahon ng congressman ako, kasi po sa kadahilanan na congressman ako, ay tinatamad ako doon sa Kongreso,” Pacquiao said over DZRH’s Presidential Job Interview when asked to react on critics blasting him for his absences.“Dahil kapag privilege speech ng isang congressman ng isang probinsya, matagal, mahaba, and then wala naman ako pakialam doon sa kanyang issue ng kanyang probinsya, distrito niya.
