PRESIDENTIAL aspirant Sen. Emmanuel 'Manny' Pacquiao will back Charter change if elected in next year's elections, saying the best way to attend to the needs of the people and uplift their living conditions is by bringing the services directly to them.

'Para maalis ang corruption (sa pamahalaan), isusulong natin ang federalism at palalakasin natin ang local autonomy (To eliminate corruption (in the government), we will push the federalism and we will strengthen the local autonomy),' he said in an interview on the sidelines while in a sortie in Payatas, Quezon City on Thursday, December 9.
