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

I’m always having fun in training and in boxing. I think it’s because boxing is my passion.

We have a job to do. After the fight, I’ll love him.

As for me, I always train for 12 rounds just in case. I don’t train for three, four, one, or 10 rounds – I have to train for 12 because you never know what will happen that night.

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

You’re still my idol.

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

In the morning, I wake up at about 6 a.m. and I run for about 45 minutes, then more sprinting. Then I go back home, I eat and I sleep. When I wake up, I train – I do about three hours in the gym…

I don’t have secrets in my life. Everything is out there.

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

Life is meant to be a challenge, because challenges are what make you grow.

I did my best. I guess my best wasn’t good enough.

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

Being a public servant, this is a serious job, not like a boxer, you’re entertaining people.

I wanted to be a world champion.

Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way.

Problems begin the moment we’re born. We’re born with infinite possibilities, only to give up on one after another. To choose one thing means to give up another. That’s inevitable. But what can you do? That’s what it is to live.

The problem is a lot of what is called economics is not economics. It is more ideology or religion.

I think that little by little I’ll be able to solve my problems and survive.

When you struggle with a problem, that’s when you understand it.
