Born in the province of of Bukidnon in the Philippines, Manny Pacquia was as humble as any baby born in the provinces of a third world country. Like any responsible boy growing up in the province, Manny grew up having to earn his way through school and the day to day necessities of food. To survive, Pacquia did everything from selling pandesal to construction work to selling balut. Early on, Manny had the affinity for boxing. Regardless of the hours he spent trying to earn his keep, he made sure that he could train everyday for a weekly boxing tournament in his province.
Less than 15 years later, Manny Pacquia is on the cover of Time Magazine and has broken the world record for winning championship belts for seven different weight classes. Who would have thought that such a humble, hardworking boy from the province would arguably be the best boxer of all time.
