- Manny Pacquiao - A Sporting Icon, A Symbol of Success From Poverty, and the Philippines' Pride
Manny Pacquiao is not the first person to achieve wealth and success through sport, after being brought up in poverty. In South America, it is young football stars. In the Philippines, Manny Pacman Pacquiao has become a boxing icon, and a national hero who emptied the streets of Manila when he fought Erik Morales for the third time. Where Manny stands out the most, though, is that his success has not destroyed his modesty, respect his fellow, and his humility. He is a star without pretence; a Filipino with pride.
