"Focus ako sa business, wala pa (I'm focused on my business, I have no plans (to run for any government position yet)," said Pacquiao.
A former senator and congressman, Pacquiao was asked about the matter following the Digiplus event announcing that he's the company's latest brand ambassador Wednesday at the Shangri-La The Fort Manila in Taguig.
