I was raised Catholic and now I am a Christian and follow of the Lord Jesus Christ. I made the change because the Holy Spirit revealed a truth to me.
I want the people of the Philippines to be happy, even if they have nothing.
If you don’t have God in your life, you are nothing.
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.
Well you know it’s dangerous in politics, because especially in the Philippines there’s a lot of killing in politics.
The religion is a personal thing in my life and fighting in the ring, it’s boxing. It’s my profession. God always gives me strength.
My family moved to the Philippines when I was 14. While living there, I learned that my mom grew up very poor. Seeing that kind of abject poverty firsthand during my travels deeply shaped my life. Seeing those living conditions motivated me to want to tell inspiring stories of struggle and triumph.
Faith is my motivation to win.
I always ask myself, what do I need to prove? I won the fight.
As for me, I always train for 12 rounds just in case. I don’t train for three, four, one, or 10 rounds. I have to train for 12 because you never know what will happen that night.
I was in tailoring business, I sold flowers on the street, I worked construction and many odd jobs.
You train hard and I’ll train hard, and may the best man win, and good luck to both of us.
I don’t even remember if he hurt me with even one punch. Amazing what the result is.
I was just doing my job in the ring and doing my best to make people happy.
Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.
I don’t have secrets in my life. Everything is out there.
You’re still my idol.
Right now I’m inspired to fight for the honour of my country.
Obey God’s law first before considering the laws of man.
I have a relative who is also gay. We can’t help it if they were born that way.
