Is Manny Pacquiao a Hero in the Philippines?

Yeah why not...he comes from under priviledge country and he worked hard to where he is now. The key to his success is that he doesn't let it get it to his head. He doesn't need to shout out about it or talk about it...he just goes in there and do it. Is great to see a such a person who trains hard and reflects that on his performance, whilst most boxers are too busy with preening their egos and showing off, Manny is focus and never forget where he comes from...always praying before and after fights. He is so down to earth who doesn't need to prove himself and on the whole palava of 'puffing up the chest', he just gets in the ring and do the job - and the job is well done. He is so generous as well giving something back to his country sharing his wealth.

I just love the way he can show people how good he is through his hard work, determination, passion and dedication to his work but also he doesn't need to prove himself by showing off.

He reminds me of Bruce Lee; from his integrity and principles when it comes to fighting and the way he trains as well. He has a good heart and his head is also in the right place - which I am sure comes from being in a country where you have to work hard to earn a living. It makes him so humbling, modest and no need for ego.

So Manny, I salute you...you are the champion to people, to fans and to my heart...!
