00:00I feel so happy to be here in Dubai, this is my home, so I'm glad to be back here in

00:23Dubai.

00:25I think, I believe the fight with Marco Antonio Barrera, the first one, that was way back 2003.

00:35I was underdog on that fight because Barrera is already pound for pound on that fight.

00:41I'm running now for senator again, this coming election next year, focusing on going back

00:49to the senate this next election.

00:52Well, I always believe that, you know, we are all just stewards of all those things

01:00that got entrusted to us in this earth.

01:03As long as we still have a chance to help others and create a legacy to help others,

01:12we have to maximize the effort and hard work to help others.

01:19We have a couple of businesses that we are earning money and then some of those monies

01:28we help to other people.

01:31My advice to them, especially the youth or the young, make sure that they undergo training

01:39in the sports so that they will learn how to discipline and hard work.

01:45Stay positive and not giving up.

01:49First quarter next year we will start my Manipakyao Sports Academy here in Dubai and it's the

01:57first time we will start here in Dubai, not only in Dubai but all over the world, Manipakyao

02:03Sports Academy International.

02:06And I'm so thankful to the government of Dubai for supporting me, especially my advocacy

02:11and my dreams to help other athletes and young kids.
