Manny Pacquiao Going back to school
MANILA (AFP) – World boxing champion Manny Pacquiao is returning to school for a crash course to prepare for his new job as a member of the Philippines' parliament.
The 31-year-old fighter, who was elected last week to represent the impoverished southern province of Sarangani, said he would soon take a week-long course at the University of the Philippines.
"I will study for one week so I will understand the protocol in Congress," he said in an interview with ABS-CBN television aired on Thursday.
"I will enter the College of Public Administration and Governance so I can understand how Congress works."
He said he intended to take the course before he assumed his role of congressman on June 30.
Pacquiao dropped out of high school as a teenager due to poverty before boxing brought him a fortune and global fame.
He passed the government's high school equivalency exams in 2007, and since then expressed hopes of studying business management and law.
His boxing victories as well as his commercial endorsements made him the world's sixth highest paid athlete last year, with earnings of 40 million dollars, according to Forbes magazine.
