MANILA (Reuters) - Former boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao, who has vowed to root out graft in the Philippine government if elected president, said on Thursday he would proudly disclose full details of his wealth and challenged all officials to do the same.

"I worked hard for my wealth. I invested blood, sweat and risked by life to earn that," Pacquiao told DZBB radio. "All public servants should disclose (their asset declaration)."
