Three Pacquiaos to run for office in 2013 elections

Three (3) members of the Pacquiao clan will run for government positions next year as they filed their certificates of candidacy (COC) for next year's midterm elections.

Filipino boxing pride Manny Pacquiao will run again as representative of Saranggani's lone district, while his wife Jinkee will aim for the position of Vice Governor. Jinkee, who never expressed interest in running for public office, revealed she decided to run for Vice Governor to help her husband carry out his public works in the province.

Pacquiao's younger brother Roel filed his COC Thursday. He will run for a House of Representatives seat in Koronadal City, South Cotabato's 1st District.

Pacquiao is supported by UNA's kings, Vice President Jejomar Binay and former President Joseph Estrada.
