Manny Pacquiao fell short in his bid to return to the Senate, with his placement at the 18th spot in the senatorial race’s partial and unofficial results.

On Thursday, May 15, Pacquiao then released a statement taking his loss in the recently concluded midterm elections.

“Mula sa aking puso, maraming salamat,” he began his statement.

“Hindi man ako nagtagumpay sa pagtakbo sa Senado, lubos ang aking pasasalamat sa bawat boto, dasal, at suporta,” the boxing icon and former senator continued, expressing his gratitude to those who voted for him and supported his senatorial race.

He went on to assure, “Ang puso ko ay mananatiling nasa bayan. At ang pangarap ko para sa bayan na maiahon ang bawat pamilyang Pilipino ay hindi magbabago.”

Pacquiao likewise wrote a message to the candidates who are posed to win the polls.

“Taos-puso rin ang aking pagbati sa lahat ng nanalo. Nawa’y maging tapat, makatao, at makabuluhan ang inyong paglilingkod para sa ating bayan.”

Aside from thanking the Filipinos who cast their votes for him, Pacman also penned a short message to those who didn't vote for him.

“Sa lahat ng bumoto at naniwala, salamat sa inyong pagmamahal. Sa lahat ng hindi pumili sa akin, salamat pa rin dahil bahagi rin kayo ng prosesong nagpapalakas sa ating demokrasya.”

“Tuloy ang laban. Tuloy ang serbisyo,” he vowed.

“Para sa Diyos. Para sa bayan. Para sa bawat Pilipino,” the athlete-turned-politician added.

Manny Pacquiao is an eight-division world boxing champion, considered one of the greatest boxers in history. He is married to Jinkee Pacquiao, whom he calls his best friend. Jinkee and the boxing legend have five children – Emmanuel Jr. (Jimuel), Michael Stephen, Mary Divine Grace (Princess), Queen Elizabeth (Queenie), and Israel.

As previously reported by KAMI, Manny Pacquiao and his wife, Jinkee, together with their children, lined up at a fast food restaurant. They did not use their celebrity status to get ahead in the line, instead, they patiently waited for their turn. Thereafter, they seated themselves in he middle of the resto and ate their meals. The video was uploaded by Michael Reiano Murillo on FB. He used several captions that would define the level of humility of the billionaire family, as per the video.

Manny Pacquiao revealed in an ambush interview with the media that he already fired his personnel who got involved in a traffic problem with authorities recently. It can be recalled that elements of the DOTr-SAICT flagged down the alleged convoy of the boxing legend and former senator for using the EDSA busway. In a video that subsequently went viral, one can see the vehicle’s occupants drop the name of former Senator Pacquiao as DOTr-SAICT personnel asked for their license and registration.
