Manny Pacquiao's real home


Even if Manny Pacquiao, considered the best pound for pound boxer on Earth, is now established in his new house in Los Angeles, he knows that his true home is in his native country the Philippines. In fact, he has planned to enter in politics in the Philippine general election, in 2010, to become the first president of this country, after he ends his boxing career.

Manny's success as a boxer doesn't affect the fact that he is a great person as well. Outside the ring, Manny has always represented Filipinos with an admirable type of class. In the Philippines, Pacquiao is not just a boxer, he is the pride of an entire nation.

Pacman has not forgotten his roots and has always been kind to the fans who follow him worldwide. With the weight of millions of his countrymen and women on his back, Manny has continued to be the type of athlete many Filipinos try to look like. It is a real idol for all of them.

Manny Pacquiao became the first Filipino athlete to appear on a postage stamp. For his influence among the Filipino people, Pacquiao has been included by Time Magazine as one of the world’s most influential people for the year 2009.

This is the modern national hero of the Philippines. Manny Pacquiao is the heart and soul of the Philippines. With each fight, as punches are exchanged, all the nation is at the end of their chairs. and lives an incredible mountain of feelings. The nation unites for a few hours as streets empty for the fight. Criminals would probably break into prison to get a good view of the fight.

Also, as Danny Sarassin , a second-hand book seller from Manila, the city where Manny was born, said after his last fight with tears welling up in his eyes (where he rewritten the history books to become the only fighter in history to claim world titles in seven weight divisions with a TKO over Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto in the 12th round of their WBO welterweight title fight in Las Vegas): “Manny carries the pride of the entire Filipino nation. He is our hero, the only one we have, and are we desperate for heroes right now.”

After his last fight, the army also congratulated Pacquiao who is a Master Sergeant in the Philippine Reserves. In a statement the army said: “He has displayed the courage and determination of a true Filipino warrior.”
