Manny Pacquiao (born December 17, 1978, Kibawe, Bukidnon province,

Mindanao, Philippines) is a professional boxer, media celebrity, and politician

who became world-famous for winning boxing titles in more weight classes
than any other boxer in history. His rise from abject poverty to the pinnacle of
his sport was made even more remarkable by his life outside the ring.
The charismatic “Pac-Man” was an idol and a unifying force in the Philippines,
where his unprecedented popularity led to
commercial endorsements, movies, television shows, CDs, and his image on a
postage stamp.
