Pacquiao's 'dynasty'

Philippine boxing hero-turned-congressman Manny Pacquiao had three more relatives elected to public office this week, but a representative for the star downplayed suggestions he was creating his own "political dynasty".

The Commission on Elections said two of the boxing superstar's brothers, along with a sister-in-law, won village council seats in their home city of General Santos.

Rogelio and Bobby Pacquiao were elected councillors in separate districts of the city in polls held on Monday, while Bobby's wife, Lorelei, won re-election as village chief.
