Not unless Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao is going to allow and ally himself with the opposition that's really desperate to dislodge, damage, and disrupt the candidate of choice by Pres.Duterte. The Philippine opposition if they are wise and not so idiotic and elitist would at least try to coalesce to someone like Manny because the man embodies the quintessential qualities most Filipinos can relate to: hardwork, poor background, religiosity, filial, respectful towards his enemies etc. In other words a man's man or "macho persona" that's polar opposite to the brand Duterte's version of macho.
In my opinion it'll be an easier sell for the opposition to have Manny as their face or one of their credible choice because most of the traditional politicians in the Philippines are suffering from a perception of insincerity and fakeness. Deficient qualities that Manny doesn't suffer from and regardless of how one perceives Manny's fitness for the office, most people regard him as an upright citizen and that most Filipinos are proud of and that itself can come along way in helping him cement or establish a potential potent force or play in the upcoming election, not to mention he'll be an easy prey to be used and manipulated by the American interests.

@voyager1 This coming election I foresee the demise of the Liberal Party (the political party of the Aquino family and the oligarchs). If you read my previous post, the American will be intervening in this coming Presidential election and the opposition will want some of the money Washington will provide. The oligarch is cash strapped due to the pandemic, they will spend but in small amount and to whom? they don't have any viable candidates, look at their line up for the President , VP and Senatorial candidate, they are mostly disgrace former Aquino official and TRAPO (traditional politician) and their chances of winning is nil, their political platform is a rehash of the past which the Filipino voters rejected. And I think the US will fund multiple candidates to ensure their bets win either thru a slim vote victory or cheating with the help of Smartmatic, the vote counting provider.
