I have lived on and off in the Philippines for the past 5 years and Donaire is pretty well known here. He has commercials from time to time and at times does commentary for local Pinoy Power boxing events. However, filipinos do like their icons humble so they tend to shy away from Nonito at times but that doesn't change the fact they are proud of his accomplishments and how well he has represented the Philippines boxing wise.

Agree with everything but this part. Donaire is FAR more accomplished than Chris John, regardless of what he does in the rest of his career. The only reason I don't say it's ridiculous to even compare their resumes is because John has that (borderline robbery) win over JMM.
Btw if Donaire beats Vetyeka impressively, I will give him a good chance at beating Gamboa. Gamboa is no Rigo, not even close. They are worlds apart in terms of technique.Comment
