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

Right now I’m inspired to fight for the honour of my country.

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

It’s very relaxing for me to sing. It’s a good break from the hard training and the fighting.

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

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

For me, boxing isn’t about hurting each other. Boxing is entertainment and making people happy.

The biggest fight in my life is not in boxing. The biggest fight in my life is how to end poverty in my country.

Theres 3 things you need to remember in boxing, work hard, work harder, and work hardest

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 want to be the best fighter. I would like to fight in the biggest fights.

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.

Devotion, fervor, longing! Those are my pillars. We have to be the bridge to the future.

People who inspire others are those who see invisible bridges at the end of dead-end streets

Words build bridges into unexplored regions.

I burned all our bridges – not knowing that love knows how to swim.

I will rise like a phoenix from the ashes of the bridges I burned.

Hard Work is the bridge between your dreams & success.

I’m only as good as my last word, my last hook, my last bridge.

No one is more dangerously insane than one who is sane all the time: he is like a steel bridge without flexibility, and the order of his life is rigid and brittle.
