I only gave out my opinion that same sex marriage is against the law of God.

In the sixth round I knew he was getting tired when I hit him with one punch to the body. But I had to take my time with him because he’s a great boxer, too....

I’m just a regular person who believes life is simple, and I like a simple life.

I come from a poor family.

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 expect that when he fights me he will be the real Erik Morales. He is training very hard. I do not think I will get the same Morales that lost to Zahir.

I eat the same foods almost every day. I have my favorites like Filipino beef broth, chicken soup with lots and lots of rice.

I don’t look ahead… I keep focused on my next opponent. I am looking forward to my next opponent, I don’t think past that point.

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.’

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

I’ve always fought for my country, in my own way, showing that Filipinos are a strong people and can do anything that they put their minds to.

I will fight him (Barrera) anytime.

I have to give people time to take a picture, and sign autographs. I have to be generous to people. It is in my heart. Without that, I would not be Manny Pacquiao.

I saw I hurt him every time I hit him in the body.

My #1 driving force is my lord and savior Jesus Christ. Also my family, my wife and children.

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.

The most important thing as a leader is your relationship with God.

I don’t think I have an advantage because he is coming off a loss. I think he wants to recover his name, he wants to win this fight. This time we are prepared for his...

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

I think I had him sometime in the eighth round. I knew the body punches were wearing him down, and I knew that if I could keep landing them, I’d probably get him.

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...

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

Only in death will I relinquish my belts.

I could see he was having problems taking my punches. I had no problem taking his.

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

My fans were expecting me there and I did not want to disappoint them.

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

You know, America is – for me, it’s the best country.

I was just doing my job in the ring and doing my best to make people happy.

I think he can come back. It was (only) his first time (an opponent) knocked him out.

Most of leaders in Philippine politics come from rich family.

I’m completely focused on Velazquez, … If he’s able to go the distance, I think that will help me as far as my experience and stamina for Morales. But the only fight I’m thinking about...

I want the people of the Philippines to be happy, even if they have nothing.

I have a relative who is also gay. We can’t help it if they were born that way.

Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

Sasagasaan ko ‘yan. Talagang maghahanda ako para sa kanya. Dadaanin ko sa resistance. Hindi ko siya tatantanan. Lagi akong naroon kahit siya maputo.

With experience in boxing, you learn how to be a scientific boxer and how to fight easy.

Maybe Manny can take Espinosa for his roadwork or as an adviser. As we all know, Manny shows no mercy even with his sparring partners

All those who are around me are the bridge to my success, so they are all important.

I will give him (Morales) a rematch,

No notes. You speak from deep in your heart. It’s easy.

If he wants a rematch, I will give him a rematch. There should be a third fight.

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

Sana naman ay pagbigyan niya (Morales) ako.

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.

This was very important. I don’t get to Morales without a victory.

I know what poverty is.

It was an experience I will never forget in my life,

I know everyone in the Philippines is happy.

I would just like to focus even more because the fight is less than a week from now.
