At the army headquarters in Manila, Pacquiao, who was already a senior master sergeant in an army reserves division, was named a sergeant major.

The ceremony was attended by Defence Secretary Gilberto Teodoro and military chief General Victor Ibrado.

"I feel inspired and I am thankful for my promotion because now I can help more people," said Pacquiao, dressed in military fatigues.

Ibrado said Pacquiao's appointment was not merely ceremonial. "He will have actual duties as a sergeant major," he told.

"It depends on whether he is available. Even if he is elected, he can still be a reservist," the general said.
