Manny Pacquiao, the eight-division world champion boxer, is a hero to several people. While many consider him as the boxing hero, plenty of others remember him for his kind gesture and service to mankind. That said, Pacquiao is also the Senator of his home country in the Philippines and seems to have worked tirelessly during the havoc wreckage of Covid-19.

As the entire world was suffering from a deficiency in vaccines, Pacquiao used his high-profile status to benefit the needy. He reportedly joined hands with US President Joe Biden, which led to the USA sending over 2 million vaccines to the Philippines. Reporter Lance Pugmire could connect with ‘Pac-Man’ at a breakfast table to bag the information.

While Manny Pacquiao is now preparing for a 147 lbs title showdown against Errol Spence Jr, his outer ring activities continue to make headlines for the right reasons. Furthermore, Pacquiao could have returned to action much before, if Covid-19 wouldn’t have disrupted the planet.

After back-to-back wins against Adrien Broner and Keith Thurman in 2019, ‘Pac-Man’ had envisioned an appearance in 2020. However, his political role demanded sheer activeness during the tough times of Coronavirus and Pacquiao didn’t hesitate to hang his gloves for the time.
