Apparently, pressure just rolls off the back of the ‘Filipino Phenom’ Manny Pacquiao. If being chased by the world’s top boxers wasn’t enough, Manny decided he could add the responsibilities of being a political leader in his native country and help his fellow man. An admiral decision that truly goes to the heart of what kind of man Pacquiao truly is.
Yet, Manny’s ambitions and responsibilities don’t end there. Manny Pacquiao decided to add the pressure and responsibilities of helping the Philippines win their first ever Olympic gold medal.
This truly is a man wearing many hats. On any given day we could possibly see Manny training for boxing, fulfilling political duties, and constructing a plan for bringing home an Olympic gold. And on any given night, Manny could end that busy day by playing basketball, billiards, or his favorite card game all while thinking of a new song for a future album.
The PacMan has already brought his country an inspirational hero for many to look up to. His unparalleled accomplishments in boxing will make him immortal in the annals of the sport’s history. And now the man provides his country with a leadership that comes from a genuine and sincere heart to see a better life for his people.
The Philippines have gone over 85 years without a Gold medal. The country joined the Olympics in 1924 but has been shut out from the top spot on a podium. It seems Manny Pacquiao could do anything he sets his mind to. But, can he bring home the Gold? Can he take on the Golden drought? Well, if anyone can turn a drought into prosperous times it seems that Manny Pacquiao is the man. Currently, there seems like nothing he can’t do, including walking on water.
Billy Dayton Sacramento, CA ‘Will Manny be too distracted with his Congressional responsibilities to continue boxing?” Manny has assured everyone that he will continue boxing. Now, the number of fights that he has left can be anywhere from 1 to 3 depending on the source. But I’ll tell you this, if Manny can revive his country, defeat Floyd Mayweather Jr, and bring home the Gold for the Philippines then this man deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
