Boxing champ and Senator Manny Pacquiao reacted to the apology of Kapamilya broadcast journalist Karen Davila over her ‘college degree’ question.

Recalling, back in February of 2019, Manny guested on ANC’S Headstart hosted by Karen. The journalist asked the senator if he is in favor that it will be required that senators and presidents should have a college degree.

“Ah, sa akin, sang-ayon naman ako dun,” the boxing champ-turned-politician said. Then, Karen said, “Pero kung gano’n, baka hindi ka na mag-qualify.” The senator answered that he was studying at that time which prompted the host to ask more questions such as what school and if he has a college degree.

Because of her rude way of interviewing her guest, Davila has been bashed by the netizens.

In the May 7 episode of ANCs Headstart, Karen and Manny shared the same screen again and before the interview start, the host said her apology.

“The last time we had an interview… this is my personal effort to let you know, there was a bit of a misunderstanding noong pinag-usapan natin na nagtatapos kayo ng kolehiyo. I wanna take this opportunity kasi marami pa rin po, who I think misunderstand and feel na I was condescending toward you,” Davila said.

Davila also said that she has been admiring the senator for a long time now. Manny Pacquiao said that he did not feel that it was something that would bother him.

“Deep in my heart, I have no…I am not hurt of that question that you asked me. Hindi ako nasaktan diyan kung ano man, wala sa isip ko yun, dahil totoo naman, hindi ko dapat i-announce yung… nag-aral ako that time. Nag-aaral ako,” Pacquiao said.

According to Pacquiao he doesn’t say were school he was studying because he might get the impression of boastfulness.

 “And then, thank you for clarifying that, wala ‘kong sama ng loob sa iyo. Nagpapasalamat ako that you asked me that question…” Manny said.
