Three Ps will play the major role for this to happen...

Pacquiao

Poverty, just like manny who started as a very poor guy. People are willing to do anything just to be rich.

Pride, the spirit of nationalism

There is so much potential, they just need the proper training and conditionig as well as financial support...

The Philippines are producing world class fighters on a regular basis now, some of these guys come out of nowhere like Sonsonsa and Casimero.

Marvin Sonsona (14-0-1 12 wins way by KO) and Casimero (14-0 8 way by KO) are just 19 years old. At their young age they are already world class fighters specially sonsona....

AJ Banal has a potential too...

Him and other ALA gym stablemates need better conditioning if they want to perform better on a global stage. I haven't seen an ALA fighter who doesn't gass out.

I have to agree with that. ALA fighters need to improve their conditioning...

I saw this happen with AJ Banal... He was winning againts Rafael Conception for the world title but suddenly he was knock down... he gassed out.....
