All I know is that I'm proud to be Filipino.

As a boxer, you have to put risk in to get to another level.

I lived my life where I didn't have anything. I lived my life where people picked on me. Now that I am in a different light, I appreciate every moment of it.

My father and I, we finally saw each other eye to eye and I think he's seeing me as a man, and I'm seeing him as the father he's always been.

I seek to fight the best out there. I seek to fight the champions in every division I go up to.

Criticism is good, you learn from it each time and you know that people are paying attention.

All I know is that I'm proud to be Filipino.
