In boxing, you never know who you’re going to face in the ring.
I’m not aiming for a knockout. I focus on doing my best. If the knockout comes, fine. If not, that’s okay.
I’m just going to punch him and do my best. If the knockout comes, it comes.
In the ring I can tell right away what his style is and I can adapt to it. I’m adjusting to life as a politician. It’s different in training but I can stay focused on both.
For me, boxing isn’t about hurting each other. Boxing is entertainment and making people happy.
I did my best. I guess my best wasn’t good enough.
I would only spend a week or two in the Philippines, most probably the week during my birthday because I am planning to give away Christmas gifts to the poor people of General Santos just like what I did last year.
Most of leaders in Philippine politics come from rich family.
Only God knows that. He is the only one who knows. He is only one who will know. And he is the only one who does know.
I live my life as if every day is my last.
Imagine what I would have done with my fire-breathing fists.
I could see he was having problems taking my punches. I had no problem taking his.
I can be a champion and a public servant also.
It’s important for me to win the fight, but it’s not the most important thing. The most important thing is to show people who spend their hard-earned money that they can be entertained by the way I fight.
I can’t walk down the streets. It’s very difficult. I can’t go to the mall. I have to go to hotels just to have a meal. Everybody wants to say hi and say thank you and congratulate me, so it’s very difficult.
I have to adjust. I have to be nice to all the people. Because of the people I have become a famous person. My responsibility is to fulfill my responsibility as a famous person.
My heart wants to read the Bible, wants to obey God. When you have Jesus in your life, when you have God in your life, like the thing in this world is not important to your heart. The more important is God in your heart. That’s how God changed my life.
I grew up in the Philippines, and I don’t think there is a problem with the typhoon. It’s normal for us.
Being Manny Pacquiao’s wife is not easy. It’s fun for me and my guys but it’s very difficult for her.
I hate politicians. I hate politics. But if I start to go into politics, I think I believe that I can serve more, I can help more people.
