Senator and boxing champion Emmanuel “Manny” D. Pacquiao on Friday said he would give the poor free housing if he becomes president.
“I want each Filipino to have their own house,” he said in a statement in Filipino. “That’s why I asked for your signatures, so you could be given a free house.”
Meanwhile, Willie T. Ong, the running mate of presidential bet Francisco “Isko” M. Domagoso, said candidates participating in debates should undergo a lie detector test..
“Any question from A-Z is fine. If you know it, answer it. If you don’t, say you’ll look into it. No one is perfect,” he said in a statement in Filipino. “What’s important is that a candidate isn’t lying. Are they corrupt? If you want, we can use a lie detector.” — Jaspearl Emerald G. Tan
