Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao is about to pull off probably the biggest win of his life in the congressional ring of Sarangani province where he is, by all accounts, demolishing his opponent from the wealthy Chiongbian dynasty, Roy Chiongbian.
Pacquiao was beating Chiongbian by an almost two-to-one margin in Kiamba according to a report by the giant broadcast network ABS-CBN.
Kiamba is where Pacquiao has a home and from where his charming wife and indefatigable campaigner Jinkee comes from while in vote rich Glan longtime friend and boxing fan, businessman-sportsman Rey Golingan reported Pacquiao was winning handsomely.
Golingan said Pacquiao was also leading the count in the municipality of Alabel which in the last general elections had a voting population of 33,071.
Indications are that Pacquiao will carry all three key municipalities which would assure him of fulfilling his dream of winning the lone congressional seat in Sarangani province so he could help the poor people of the region.
