My heart wants to read the Bible, wants to obey God. When you have Jesus in your life, when you have God in your life, like the thing in this world is not important to your heart. The more important is God in your heart. That's how God changed my life.

I come from a poor family.

If you practice hard, you can win every battle.

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.

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.
