An iron fist is not enough.


The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has granted not just one but 20 gun ban exemptions to boxing champion Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, who the poll body said needs appropriate protection at this time.


Comelec Commissioner Nicodemo Ferrer said that because of the millions he earned during his recent fights, Pacquiao would definitely need guns to protect himself and his family.
