MAKATI CITY, Metro Manila -- A Labor Party of the Philippines (LPP) official on Wednesday told Philippine Muslim Today in an exclusive interview that the political victory of Senator Emmanuel "Manny" Pacquiao in the 2022 presidential election running as independent candidate is ill-advised and bound to defeat.
Shariff Ibrahim Albani, a member of the LPP national executive officers and vice president for Visayas told this Managing Editor in his reaction to the statement of PDP-Laban Pacquiao wing Executive Director Ronwald Munsayac that Pacquiao can still run as independent presidential candidate if the Commission on Elections (Comelec) will accept in favor of the PDP-Laban Alfonso Cusi wing.
The LPP has publicly announced last week of their invitation to make Pacquiao as their standard-bearer in the 2022 presidential elections. In fact the eldest son of Pacquiao is already one of the national officers of the LPP. He is Emmanuel Pacquiao, Jr., also known as (a.k.a.) Jimuel who chairs the Committee on Youth Affairs.
Albani bluntly told Munsayac that to let Pacquiao run as an independent presidential candidate is not only ill-advised but also misplaced.
According to the LPP vice president for Visayas, as he further told Munsayac that in the history of presidential candidates no one was successful. Why? Apart from what you already mentioned politics is highly partisan and patriarchal. That is the culture. Senator Manny Pacquiao should not run as an independent. The pressure of lining up candidates down to councilors level is a massive organizational and logistical nightmare."
He further said popularity alone will not make Senator Manny Pacquiao win. He needs a party that will move in unison. Candidates on their own could profit from his popularity bandwagon.
Albani also said "let us get this idea out from Pacquiao mind frame. This will spell disaster for us. Or the people will be your enemy. Right now, I believe that idea in advising him to run for independent is a political suicidal and more of a liability than an asset to our country cause with Manny Pacquiao.
Albani who hails from Mindanao also idolized Pacquiao as a boxing legend. He said the global Filipino icon is still steadfast, strong, driven to get our politics and governance moored in core values unflinched by the unpatriotic to the motherland.
He asked everyone to welcome Pacquiao with a "green ribbon" in their hearts. He said this symbolizes hope, prosperity, and decency.
Albani emphasized that Pacquiao for over 25 years, he made us proud, without a doubt even among his detractors, fair enough.
As this developed. the LPP according to Albani in two or three days Pacquiao and the LPP will hold a zoom meeting where the Senator will formally announce if he is indeed the LPP standard-bearer and therefore this will clear all speculations. (PMT NCR Plus Bureau)

Japan's Health Ministry has withdrawn 1.6 million Moderna vaccines from its rollout after foreign substances were detected in some vials. It is also investigating why two men died soon after receiving the vaccine from the suspended batches.
"There's no evidence at this point indicating that the deaths are linked to the vaccines found to contain foreign particles," explained an official. "The deaths may have been accidental, but we decided to make the information public in order to secure transparency."
News of the fatalities came after three batches of Moderna were withdrawn from use as a precaution.
A pharmacist in Saitama Prefecture discovered black specks in Moderna vials while checking them before use in mid-August.
"They were much smaller than sesame seeds -- less than a millimeter. They looked like slices of something and were floating inside the bottle as I shook it," said Ishii Koki.
Similar foreign substances were subsequently found in 39 unopened Moderna vials at eight vaccination sites across Japan.
Health ministry officials say the particles are likely metal as they are attracted to a magnet, and probably entered the vials during the manufacturing process at a Spanish factory.
The ministry identified three batches of vaccines that may be tainted.Vaccines from those batches have been distributed to more than 880 vaccination sites across Japan. More than 500,000 have already been used.
"There's an extremely low risk of the vaccines with foreign matters causing serious health problems," said one ministry official.
People in Japan who received Moderna vaccines from three lot numbers are urged to seek medical attention if they experience any unusual symptoms.
Deaths of two men investigated
The Health Ministry revealed last week that two men -- aged 30 and 38 with no underlying health conditions -- both died three days after receiving vaccinations from one of the suspended Moderna batches.
Moderna and its distributer in Japan, Takeda Pharmaceutical, issued a joint statement on Saturday, saying "This is a tragic event, and the loss of life is something that we take very seriously. An investigation is being conducted with the greatest sense of urgency, and Takeda and Moderna will keep the public informed as we learn more."
Health Minister Tamura Norihisa told an NHK program Sunday that the government has also launched an investigation.
The ministry is calling on people who received vaccines with the stated lot numbers to seek medical attention if they experience any health abnormalities.
Data from the Prime Minister's Office shows that as of August 30, more than 55 percent of Japan's population of 125 million has received at least one shot. More than 44 percent are fully vaccinated.
