From the first day of his boxing caraeer, Saranggani Rep. Manny Pacquiao, had exhibit greatness inside the boxing ring and faced every opponent with fearlessness. Since his amateur fights, he has won numerous battles and has conquered not just the sports arena but also the Showbiz industry and just recently, the complicated world of politics. He has even got himself in school and enrolled to earn a degree and invested in some business to secure his future as an individual and for his family as well.
There is just one strange thing he has recently gotten into that made the eyebrows of our judgemental society raise high; he was invited to become a “Bible Ambassador” for the Episcopal Commission on Biblical Apostolate. I could have written disturbing words here, but I don’t want to be flagged as judgemental so let me analyze the situation and let us try to understand Mr Boxing Champ for once.
After him conquering the world, what else should a Manny Pacquiao do aside from throwing a grandiose party for Doña Dionesia and giving her expensive presents? Maybe burn his money over casino games with his political allies and friends or build some 3 more million-worth houses for each of his beloved child with matching high-end cars? But not. As I have said, Manny has put into investment some of his money. Charity works and local projects in his hometown General Santos was also undertaken through his leadership and initiative. After the infidelity controversies and online scandals, he has also stayed by the side of his faithful wife Jinkee and continues to nurture with love and wellness their whole family. His change of heart has an effect even to his kumpadres. After growing a farm of fighting cocks, Manny together with his kumpadres had voluntarily given away every rooster as a proclamation of their renewed selves.
Now, his final step is to finally quit and retire from Boxing; a shocker to every one of his fans worldwide. The eight-time world champion said God told him he had already made something of himself and it was getting “dangerous.” “Let him be called crazy because when God converts people, others cannot understand whether it is the great grace of God,” said Sorsogon Bishop Arturo Bastes. He was very ecstatic of the whole new change for our boxing champ.
Pacquiao was truly heeding God’s call and turning his heart away from worldly pursuit.
This whole image overhaul of Manny Pacquiao is a sure fire win. We hope for the best that this isn’t just a career move just to win more sympathy from people. He had enough. This is the time he seriously takes into consideration his own physical and spiritual health. Because a true boxing champ isn’t just gold belt collector and knock-out victor, He is also an inspiration and role model to his constituents.
