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'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.

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

In boxing you never know who you're going to face in ring.

Most of leaders in Philippine politics come from rich family.

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

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

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

Being a Christian means accepting Christ as your savior, your God. That's why you are called a 'Christian.' If you remove Christ, there's only 'ian' and that means 'I am nothing.'

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.

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'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.

Only in death will I relinquish my belts.

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

The most important thing as a leader is your relationship with God.

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

No notes. You speak from deep in your heart. It's easy.

I wanted to be a world champion.

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