Manny Pacquiao is used to schooling much younger boxers in the ring. But now the Filipino icon is the one who will be taking the lessons – in the classroom.
The 40-year-old fighting senator revealed in an Instagram post on Friday he had enrolled at the University of Makati in Manila.
The eight-division world champion proudly showed off his student ID card, accompanied with a picture featuring a trademark smile.
Listed under his full name, Emmanuel D. Pacquiao, “Pacman” is studying for a Political Science bachelor of arts degree in local government administration.
Pacquiao began a six-year term of office as a Senator of the Philippines in June 2016. He secured a congressional seat in the 2010 elections, and served for two terms after a landslide victory in the district of Sarangani.
