According to the Senator, he knows his wife and he knows that she will not indulge in it. He stressed that his wife has served as vice governor of Sarangani but it was just for a year because she is really not into politics. He further said that what his wife wants is to help women, give out scholarships and housing for families, and do charity work.
Based on the report, Sen. Manny Pacquiao said that his wife, Jinkee, will stay away from politics if he wins president in 2022. He is determined to pursue his presidential bid amid suggestions to slide down to vice president.
