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

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

I want them to make peace with the love of God.

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.

Being a Christian means accepting Christ as your savior, your God. Thats why you are called a Christian. If you remove Christ, theres only ian and that means I am nothing.

I’m surprised that the fight was kind of easy.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Sudden goodbyes are painful.

These times are so hard, and they’re getting even harder.

One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.

The worst mistake you can make is walking away from the person who actually stood there and waited for you.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don’t, they never were.

To have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.

No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it
