Senators Manny Pacquiao, Pia Cayetano agree to explore private funding for the proposed Philippine Boxing Commission.
Pacquiao: "Gastusin ko 'yung pera ko, magtayo ako sa Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, para magkaroon ng opisina ang ating PH Boxing Commission." | @eimorpsantos
Sen. Cayetano says she supports the move for a privately funded Philippine Boxing Commission, even as the boxer-turned-lawmaker has yet to defend the need for it | @eimorpsantos
Sen. Cayetano on Sen. Pacquiao: He was not able to answer that there's no violation of the Constitution in terms of equal protection of the law, and duplication of functions of the Games and Amusements Board | @eimorpsantos
Sen. Cayetano: The creation of an office is an unnecessary expense at this time but I would like to honor his honor’s (Pacquiao's) desire to help the athletes whose sports he also loves by number one, supporting his private fund | @eimorpsantos
