Manny Pacquiao will start getting into shape after filing his Certificate of Candidacy for Sarangani’s lone congressional district between Oct. 1 to 5.



“He’ll start light training after Oct. 5,” lawyer Jeng Gacal, Pacquiao’s legal counsel, told the Inquirer after the eight-division world champion arrived yesterday from the United States, where he went on a three-city promotional tour with Mexican rival Juan Manuel Marquez.

The fourth and last edition of Pacquiao-Marquez is set Dec. 8 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

While Pacquiao has done early training in Baguio City in his previous three fights, he now intends to spend the entire eight-week training camp at Wild Card Gym of chief trainer Freddie Roach in Hollywood.

This way, no training day will be wasted travelling between Pacquiao’s camps in the Philippines and the United States.
