Philippine boxing icon and Senator Manny Pacquiao revealed that he will be donating the entirety of his endorsement fee from a telecommunications company.
While the senator did not reveal specifics as to the amount of his endorsement fee, reports from PEP.ph state that the senator receives millions of pesos whenever he is named as one of the brand endorsers of a particular product.
“I am given another God-given opportunity to be of help to our kababayans in any way I can. That is why my endorsement fee for this endorsement will go to relief efforts to help our kababayans who were affected by the devastation of Rolly and Ulysses,” said Senator Manny Pacquiao.
