I have to use my strengths, which [are] my speed, my quickness and my movements. If I do that, I really believe that I will come out on top.

I'm just a regular person who believes life is simple, and I like a simple life.

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

My family moved to the Philippines when I was 14. While living there, I learned that my mom grew up very poor. Seeing that kind of abject poverty firsthand during my travels deeply shaped my life. Seeing those living conditions motivated me to want to tell inspiring stories of struggle and triumph.

I was in tailoring business, I sold flowers on the street, I worked construction and many odd jobs.

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.

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