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

Nothing personal - I am just doing my job.

The biggest fight in my life is not in boxing. The biggest fight in my life is how to end poverty in my country.

Boxing is not about your feelings. It's about performance.

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

I grew up in the Philippines, and I don’t think there is a problem with the typhoon. It’s normal for us.

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.
