Being a Christian means accepting Christ as your savior, your God. That's why you are called a 'Christian.' If you remove Christ, there's only 'ian' and that means 'I am nothing.'

Boxing is a sport. We allow each other to hit each other, but I'm not treating my opponent like my enemy. We're doing a job to entertain people.

Most of leaders in Philippine politics come from rich family.

Boxing is not about your feelings. It's about performance.

I'm not against gay people. I have a relative who is also gay. We can't help it if they were born that way.

In boxing you never know who you're going to face in ring.

Well you know it's dangerous in politics, because especially in the Philippines there's a lot of killing in politics.

Being a public servant, this is a serious job, not like a boxer, you're entertaining people.

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

I know what poverty is.

I know everyone in the Philippines is happy.

I wanted to be a world champion.

I don't mind having these relatives. I'll give them a little, since they all prayed for my victory.

I've already established my (political)machinery. It's like a car. It's fixed already. You just have to get in and drive it.

Only in death will I relinquish my belts.

I've worked in construction, in a factory sewing clothes. I also sold flowers and doughnuts - just odd jobs to try to make 10 pesos, which is equivalent to 20 cents.

I remember as a little boy I ate one meal a day and sometimes slept in the street. I will never forget that and it inspires me to fight hard, stay strong and remember all the people of my country, trying to achieve better for themselves.

You know, America is - for me, it's the best country.

God's words first... obey God's law first before considering the laws of man.

God only expects man and woman to be together and to be legally married, only if they so are in love with each other.
