Manny Pacquiao and why he ran away.

Manny is a world famous boxer and fighting this Saturday night against Floyd Mayweather.  I always wonder what fighters feel- what drives them to fight like they do. While not sure of the answer- I know I am now rooting for Manny.

First, shout out to Philippines. What a wonderful, warm, friendly culture. My god daughter Karla Mae lives there.  It is a beautiful country.  But sadly, it is a very poor country- especially in the small towns and islands around the mainland.

Manny ran away at 12 years of age and came from a very poor family.  He ran away because they had no money and barely any food so his dad made the decision to kill and eat the family dog. Manny couldn't take it and ran away from the pain.  I can't imagine how hard his childhood must have been there.

At 14 he was living on the streets and reselling donuts on the street to make a nickel off each one to survive and he found boxing- his way out. Now he is making over $100 million for this one fight, is a Congressman in Philippines, and the populace there want him to run for President.

Well, I would solute Manny Pacquiao as President of the Philippines and hope he furthers the education of his people and understanding the importance of family pets (all kinds of animals).  There are alternatives for food, and how horrible to lose your dog this way.

Do good things Manny.  Do good things.
