MANNY PACQUIAO

I don't have secrets in my life. Everything is out there.

I wanted to be a world champion.

I want the people of the Philippines to be happy, even if they have nothing.

Well you know it's dangerous in politics, because especially in the Philippines there's a lot of killing in politics.

I have a relative who is also gay. We can't help it if they were born that way.

I've already established my (political)machinery. It's like a car. It's fixed already. You just have to get in and drive it.

I was just doing my job in the ring and doing my best to make people happy.

I eat the same foods almost every day. I have my favorites like Filipino beef broth, chicken soup with lots and lots of rice.

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.

Boxing is a sport. We allow each other to hit each other, but I'm not treating my opponent like my enemy. We're doing a job to entertain people.

Nothing personal - I am just doing my job.

I remember as a little boy I ate one meal a day and sometimes slept in the street. I will never forget that and it inspires me to fight hard, stay strong and remember all the people of my country, trying to achieve better for themselves.

I only gave out my opinion that same sex marriage is against the law of God.

Only in death will I relinquish my belts.

I've worked in construction, in a factory sewing clothes. I also sold flowers and doughnuts - just odd jobs to try to make 10 pesos, which is equivalent to 20 cents.

With experience in boxing, you learn how to be a scientific boxer and how to fight easy.

God only expects man and woman to be together and to be legally married, only if they so are in love with each other.

Being a public servant, this is a serious job, not like a boxer, you're entertaining people.

I have to give people time to take a picture, and sign autographs. I have to be generous to people. It is in my heart. Without that, I would not be Manny Pacquiao.

God's words first... obey God's law first before considering the laws of man.

All those who are around me are the bridge to my success, so they are all important.

If we don't have God in our life, we're considered dead.

I come from a poor family.

My #1 driving force is my lord and savior Jesus Christ. Also my family, my wife and children.

I know everyone in the Philippines is happy.
