Not a hero really (kawawa naman the body of Rizal -- colegiala speak)but admirable.

In terms of perseverance and cunning he makes a good role model. Admirable becuase he is able to maximize his opportunities (and without stepping on others, too) such as earnings from endorsements (hey, that Nike chose him is wow) and payperview earnings, which were not open to Filipino boxers before him during their time.

Plus he comes off as simple and honest, with a ready smile that lights his face up and makes him look cute.

Plus a brain to go with the fists. Galing!

@chuvaness>>>well said. probably Manny will fall into the sports heroes category...with the likes of paeng nepomuceno and lydia de vega...

Im hoping to watch his next fght live... If the price of the ticket is right!

LOL.

He has already been declared as such as he has been given a title "pambansang kamao"...
at the same time, pwede din syang "pandaigdigang pustahan" the truth about pustahan cannot be denied.

kaya hindi sya pasado sa criteria ko kung ano ang "hero" ^-^

@ginabeloved>>> i just hope he doesn't enter into politics...he should make a foundation or start a charity or anything to help but not through politics please...

@lisa>>>hehe...okay! hehe

the dela Hoya fight is fixed... it's very obvious.

i don't consider Pacquiao a hero o kahit anu pa man. Ginagamit lang sya ng mga politiko for their own advances or whatever gains.

Sana tama na ung sobrang papuri. At dun sa mga naniniwala kay Pacquiao, please wag nyo na syang dalhin sa pulitika.

He's just another boxer, and will soon be forgotten after the hoopla.
