CHICAGO ? In the course of my many interviews with Manny Pacquiao, both in person and on the phone, I have become one of the millions who adore him. Of the several endearing qualities about him, nothing stands out more than his refusal to let fame and fortune wash away his humility. The absence of ego defines PacMan as a hero.
Outside the ring, Manny is equally adorable. When boxing?s riches lifted him from the ashes of abject poverty, he made sure to carry his loved ones along. As reported by John Whisler of the San Antonio Express-News, Manny provided homes for his parents and three siblings while handing out large chunks of cash to his friends in Mindanao.
