I'm just a regular person who believes life is simple, and I like a simple life.
All those who are around me are the bridge to my success, so they are all important.
I've always fought for my country, in my own way, showing that Filipinos are a strong people and can do anything that they put their minds to.
Being a public servant, this is a serious job, not like a boxer, you're entertaining people.
Most of leaders in Philippine politics come from rich family.
With experience in boxing, you learn how to be a scientific boxer and how to fight easy.
Being a Christian means accepting Christ as your savior, your God. That's why you are called a 'Christian.' If you remove Christ, there's only 'ian' and that means 'I am nothing.'
The most important thing as a leader is your relationship with God.
Only in death will I relinquish my belts.
Boxing is not about your feelings. It's about performance.
I eat the same foods almost every day. I have my favorites like Filipino beef broth, chicken soup with lots and lots of rice.
My #1 driving force is my lord and savior Jesus Christ. Also my family, my wife and children.
God only expects man and woman to be together and to be legally married, only if they so are in love with each other.
I remember as a little boy I ate one meal a day and sometimes slept in the street. I will never forget that and it inspires me to fight hard, stay strong and remember all the people of my country, trying to achieve better for themselves.
I have to give people time to take a picture, and sign autographs. I have to be generous to people. It is in my heart. Without that, I would not be Manny Pacquiao.
Well you know it's dangerous in politics, because especially in the Philippines there's a lot of killing in politics.
I've worked in construction, in a factory sewing clothes. I also sold flowers and doughnuts - just odd jobs to try to make 10 pesos, which is equivalent to 20 cents.
In boxing you never know who you're going to face in ring.
I have a relative who is also gay. We can't help it if they were born that way.
I've already established my (political)machinery. It's like a car. It's fixed already. You just have to get in and drive it.
