by Hannah Tooley

He has filled out the paper work to run as a senatorial candidate in next year's presidential elections in Manila in the Philippines.

More than 70 presidential hopefuls have filed their certificates of candidacy with Senator Grace Poe and former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas considered as the top contenders.

Pacquiao is one of the most popular senatorial candidates and made headlines around the world when the dedicated Christian lost 'the fight of the Century' to USA boxer Floyd 'Money' Mayweather Jr.

Pacquiao is known for his kind gestures to the people of the Philippians and openly preaches the gospel.

Speaking back in May he said he was born again: "I knew I could do whatever I wanted. But I changed when I heard the voice of God, and I can testify that there is a God."
