philippines is a country that has citizens who are talented that can be proud of throughout the world. one of these people is the people's champ manny pacman paquiao, me as a filipino is also very proud for him him since he is bringing too much bacon in the country. the only thing that i dont like about him is the controversies that are tagged in his name as well as in the name of his family. SO, for the women out there who are planning to ruin the family of the people's champ, well all i can say is to think twice and watch your reputation. dont let your face be filled with mud. flirting with a very wealthy family man only means you are craving for his money and not for his ??... what do you think my fellow mylotters?

Filipinos got talent, they say. not only locally but in international arena as well. what makes it sad in manny pacquiao for example, he got wealth from his talent, but who benefit his wealth?
what i am trying to say is, God has given you an opportunity to be a grace to other people. why he didn't develop his place, Sarangani where he claims as his residence. Sarangani province is a beautiful place, he can invest money in that place, develop it, make it a world class, put up businesses their (create jobs for people) and on the process help the people by giving them jobs.
isn't it nice to always go back to your own place, do something there, and be a gift to those people in that place by giving them an opportunity to work for themselves and earn. and not just giving them money every time he won a fight, that is superficial.
I believe, he is a hero... but he should take that as an opportunity to make it in his own place and not be adopted somewhere else...

You know, that idea really appeals to me. Imagine what would happen if Manny decided to invest in 10 schools in his province (and we know he can afford that). His impact would be tremendous and lasting. I wish someone would whisper that in Manny's ear. He doesn't even have to run for Congress to make a difference.

you are correct, school can be a best avenue where he could help young people realize their dreams. he can partner with the government, improve school buildings and its facilities, they need much help just like any public schools in the country.
i just hope God will enlighten him as he and his mother displays to be a prayer man/women.

Manny is now a certified chick magnet. I think Manny is already aware of this. Since he's in showbiz as well, its not hard to be tempted with all the gorgeous and sexy ladies out there who are out to get a slice of his riches. There's no way he can avoid it. The only thing he could do is to be cautious because whether he like it or not he is already a role model and a lot are looking up to him.

From a fan side, I think people will ultimately forgive whatever messes happen in his personal life. As long as he knocks out every foe he faces, he'll be just fine.
It's sad how controversies abound when you're famous and rich, but it comes with the territory.
