00:00I started training boxing when I was 11 years old, and by the time I was 12 years old I started

00:19fighting in boxing, and I've been doing it ever since.

00:24Working with Manny Pacquiao is a trainer's dream.

00:29He's the guy that wants to work.

00:32He's one of those guys that I really have to take him and slow him down sometimes.

00:37I have to almost tackle him and say, Manny, that's enough.

00:41Manny Pacquiao, he's a machine.

00:44We have a great relationship, and he's like a son to me.

00:48He's my favorite fighter I've ever had, and I just love working with Manny Pacquiao.

00:54People have called me the best coach in the world, and that's because of that guy, Manny Pacquiao.

01:24Manny Pacquiao, he's a real man.

01:29He's giving.

01:31When we started, we had a TV show on Channel 2.

01:38He was also our guest.

01:41We always talked.

01:44Manny Pacquiao is a happy person.

01:47I'm a helper, and I always help my fellow countrymen.

02:04I feel sorry for them, because they're human beings with a heart and soul.

02:12We need to help them.

02:14I always tell my fellow countrymen that there are people in this world who can help us all,

02:20so that we can give support to those who are in need, especially to those who are in need.

02:41Manny Pacquiao! Manny Pacquiao!

02:47We are thankful to him, and he helped us.

02:52This is a gift from the poor.

02:56If he didn't come, we might not have any support for our children.

03:04He's an icon in the Philippines and among Philippine people.

03:09The beauty of Manny Pacquiao is that he remains Manny Pacquiao.

03:14He's true to himself, and he's true to his beliefs.

03:19His biggest concern is the Philippine people.

03:24That is what he lives for and breathes for, and that's why he works so hard.

03:31He wants to make a contribution to the Philippine people.

03:36And somebody like Manny can be a force for change to bring improvement to the people of the Philippines.

03:44My plan is to stay in people's minds that Manny Pacquiao is a good fighter.

03:52He gave a lot of pride to our country.

03:57Above all, not only as a fighter, but also as a helper and a friend to everyone.

04:08Manny! Manny! Manny!

04:13I decided to announce that I will run next year.

04:18And I will still be in the same position in Sarangani.

04:22Nothing would please me more at my age if I was still around one day when he took the oath of office as president of the Philippines.

04:32That's what is my dream, and I think it's his dream, and hopefully down the road it will happen.

04:39I always say he's going to be a president. He doesn't disagree with me.
