Manny Pacquiao looks like election winner

[GOD]

Manny Pacquiao appears on his way to winning a seat in the the Philippine House of Congress. But given that nation's history of political corruption, it's too early too call it a knockout for the man most boxing followers consider the best fighter of the past decade.
Pacquiao's last 12 pay-per-view fights have generated $320 million, while also making him a national hero in his homeland. Early returns put his margin at 2-to-1, possibly 3-to-1.
The election also has been marred by extreme violence.
The Los Angeles Times reports disruptions at more than 80 polling places have included bombings, shootouts, abductions and the burning of voting machines, plus at least eight deaths. At many polls, voters waited more than five hours in humid 100-degree heat to cast ballots.
Pacquiao is running in his native Sarangani Province, against 61-year-old Roy Chiongbian. If Pacquiao wins, it's believed he would be the first active pro boxer to hold a national public office.
