Here's the secret: Manny is a champion of his people. He doesn't just take his fame and riches and indulge it all on himself, he gives it back. He's built hospitals, Schools, Gyms, Has set up charity and welfare programs for the poor, and has become a congressman so he can have even more power to help those in need(something there's always an abundance of in the Philippines)
He represents to the whole world the kindness and selflessness and humility that Filipino people are taught ever since we were born.
Because of all he has done for our people, we do everything we can to support him, and when you have an entire country of people to carry you and give you such a head start, it doesn't take long before everybody else starts to notice. Non-Filipinos will never understand the camaraderie and patriotism we share for each other and our history.
He's not just a great boxer, but a soldier and ambassador for our people, and we fight for him like he fights for us.
