Friends, this is my small contribution to PACLAND community. Most importantly, I am doing this to allow other people from all over the world to READ and understand what Pacquiao's stand is on these steroid accusations. After reading through PACMAN's recent article on Philboxing, it is a disservice is only a percentage of the boxing fans know. This article is a beauty and Manny speaks his mind, heart and soul on this issue in a very concise but truly knockout-filled of words. You can sense how angry, mad, upset he is about all these, yet he maintains his solid point and composure throughout.
I am putting the English-translated version first then at the bottom his original Tagalog one.
Stereo, Estero, Steroids?
By Manny Pacquiao
"SARANGANI, Philippines, A pleasant day to all of you, my valued fans, fellow countrymen and followers of this column. Hoping that you are well whichever part of the world you are situated. The year is about to end and I am wishing you all and prosperous new year in 2010, that our lives would all be better.
Lots have happened in our lives this year that I thought would commence with our celebration of the Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Least did I expect that there would still be important fights to face as the New Year dawns.
You may have read in the past few months about the unswerving, consistent effort to destroy my name, reputation and person. In the past few days alone, the camp of my next opponent have been releasing statements that are harsh yet are made with absolutely no basis but are pure product of their hallucinations. Yes, they are accusing me of using Performance Enhancing Drugs (PED), also known as steroids.
What? Stereo? Estero? (small street canal), Steroids? I can only laugh but now I have become very upset because in ALL my life, I have not seen any form, (shape or size) and I absolutely have no idea or knowledge about this steroids that they are talking about. I am referring to Floyd Mayweather Sr who is the father of my next opponent, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and CEO of Golden Boy Promotions Richard Schaeffer.
(As a consequence) news reports were circulating that (implied or) made me appear of being a steroids user and that they say is the reason for my unequalled power and feistiness in the ring. They are left in awe and disbelief that a small Filipino man from a Third World Country of Asia that has been dubbed the Mexicutioner given that I have eliminated the legendary heroes of Mexico like Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez , Oscar Dela Hoya and many others. Floyd Sr., in particular, to this day, still is in disbelief that I could beat his ward, Ricky Hatton. I actually (feel bad and) pity Ricky Hatton because after the fight, Floyd Sr., did not even bother to help him out (when he lied on the canvass) yet Floyd Sr., still managed to put the blame on Hatton.
After the fight with Miguel Cotto, this gossip accusation that they have hurled against me has only intensified that they are like chickens whose mouths can’t stop from crying and crying. The Mayweathers all the more are left in disbelief. This past week alone they have been issuing press releases that demands that I undergo the Olympic-style drug test procedure.
Because I love my country and I fight for our honor in all my fights in the ring and my fear in God who is the source of my strength and power, I have made a firm decision to formally file a lawsuit against those people who have tarnished my reputation, name and dignity of my countrymen and my God. You are all witnesses that I, from the beginning of my boxing career 15 years ago to this day, I have not tasted nor even attempted to use these so called P.E.Ds or steroids in order to cheat my opponents. My destruction is the destruction of all of us and immeasurable shame to God who has bestowed me all these blessings.
I do not have anything to prove (to them) and hopefully, they would not succeed in destroying my image and the sport of boxing in the way they want it done. They want to dictate and step on the authority of the organizations including the Nevada State Athletic Commission. I am not guilty and I don’t have to prove anything because I have passed all tests in all my previous fights. I will all just see you in court.
Until the next Kumbinasyon . God Bless Us All."

"SARANGANI --- Magandang araw po ulit sa inyong lahat, kayong mga ginigiliw kong mga fans, kababayan at tagasubaybay ng kolum na ito. Sana ay nasa mabuti kayong kalagayan saan man kayo naroroon sa mundo. Malapit nang magtapos ang taon at binabati ko kayo ng isang Manigong Bagong taon. Sana, sa year 2010, lalong gaganda ang ating mga buhay.
Maraming mga naganap sa ating buhay nitong nagdaang taon at akala ko, matatapos lamang ang taon sa pagdiwang natin ng kapanganakan ng ating mahal na Panginoong Kristo. Hindi ko akalaing mayroon pa pala akong magiging importanteng laban sa pagpasok ng taon.
Marahil ay nababasa na ninyo nitong mga nagdaang buwan ang walang-sawang paninirang-puri ng aking mga kalaban patungkol sa aking pagkatao. Nitong mga nagdaang araw lamang, ang kampo ng aking susunod na makakalaban ay nagpalabas ng maraming maaanghang na pananalita na wala naming basehan at puro haka-haka lamang. Opo, sinasabi nila na gumagamit daw ako ng performance-enhancing drugs (PED) o mga steroids.
Ano? Stereo? Estero? Steroids? Natatawa ako na medyo naiinis dahil sa tanang-buhay ko, hindi pa ako nakakakita ng anyo o wala talaga akong nalalaman tungkol sa steroids na binabanggit nila. Tinutukoy ko sina Floyd Mayweather Sr., tatay ng aking susunod na makakalabang si Floyd Jr., si Floyd Jr., at ang CEO ng Golden Boy Promotions na si Richard Schaefer.
Ayon sa mga balita, ako raw ay gumagamit ng steroids kaya naman kakaiba raw ang lakas ko at bagsik sa ibabaw ng ring. Namamangha silang lahat at hindi makapaniwala na isang maliit na Pilipino na nagmula sa Third World ng Asya, ay tinaguriang “Mexicutioner” dahil sa halos inubos ko na raw ang mga magigiting na bayani na nagmula sa Mexico - - - sina Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez at Oscar Dela Hoya, kasama ang marami pang iba. Si Floyd Sr. ay hindi pa rin makapaniwala na natalo ko ang kanyang manok na si Ricky Hatton. Naaawa nga ako kay Ricky dahil pagkatapos ang laban, ni hindi man lang siya tinulungan ni Floyd Sr., bagkus ay sinisi pa.
Matapos ang laban namin ni Miguel Cotto, lalo pang umugong ang mga tsismis nila na para silang mga inahing putak nang putak. Lalo na namang hindi makapaniwala ang kampo ng mga Mayweather, kaya naman nitong isang linggo lang, gumawa pa sila ng press release na nag-utos sa akin na kailangan daw akong sumailalim sa Olympic-style drug testing.
Dahil sa mahal ko ang aking bayan at ipinaglalaban ko ang dangal ng aking bansa sa lahat ng aking mga sagupaan sa ring, at may takot ako sa Diyos na siyang pinagmumulan ng aking lakas, minabuti kong magsampa ng kaso laban sa mga naninira ng dangal ng aking pangalan, bansa at ng aking Diyos. Saksi kayong lahat, na ako po, sa simula’t sapul ng aking pagboboksing 15 taon na ang nakakaraan, ni hindi ko sinubukan at tinangkang gumamit ng PED o steroids para dayain ang aking mga kalaban. Ang kasiraan ko ay kasiraan nating lahat at malaking kahihiyan sa Diyos nating lahat na nagbigay sa atin ng mga biyayang ito.
Wala akong dapat patunayan at sana, huwag nilang yurakan ang magandang imahe ng sport na boxing gaya ng gusto nilang mangyari — ang ***tahan at sampalin ang lahat ng tao at organisasyon kasama na ang Nevada State Athletic Association. I am not guilty and I don’t have to prove anything because I have passed all tests in all my previous fights. I will all just see you in court.
Hanggang sa muling Kumbinasyon. God Bless Us All. "
