If he had used this P50 million to help the government buy vaccines, he could have demonstrated he is sincere about serving the people, especially at this time of one of the country's worst crises. He could even package his scheduled fight with Errol Spence Jr. in August, as one whose proceeds he would donate to buy vaccines -- Pacquiao's "jab for jabs." Pacquiao and his supporters obviously think his celebrity power as a world-famous boxing champion could bring him to Malacañang. Pacquiao doesn't need donors though, as he has money of his own, if he chooses to spend it all. Pacquiao seems to be bent on raising more funds, with his August fight with welterweight titlist Spence, by which he could raise at least P500 million.
