Philippine boxing star Manny Pacquiao has said he is to run for president in next year’s election.
Pacquiao, 42, a senator in the Philippines’ parliament was nominated as a candidate by a faction of the ruling party, PDP-Laban.
Incumbent Rodrigo Duterte is barred from another term but has been picked by a rival party faction to run for vice-president, a move critics say is an attempt to cling to power.
