Life is meant to be a challenge, because challenges are what make you grow.

I can be a champion and a public servant also.

For me, boxing isn't about hurting each other. Boxing is entertainment and making people happy.

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.

Anyone will succeed in whatever field of endeavor in life by acquiring the same virtues and character that boxing world champions do - dedication, perseverance, courage, extreme self-discipline and prayers

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

My success is not about the wealth and fame. I am most concerned with my relationship to God, which is the most important.
