Senator Manny Pacquiao on Monday advised men to “love their mothers and wives generously and unconditionally” because they will always be the last persons who would abandon you when you are down and out.
The boxer-turned-senator said it was but fitting to pay tribute to all women as the world celebrates International Women’s Day because they play a crucial role in our society.
He highlighted the contributions of his mother and his wife in his journey to become one of the world’s most respected boxers and a Philippine senator.
“Si Mommy Dionisia ang pinagkukunan ko ng lakas lalong-lalo na noong nagsisimula pa lamang ako sa boxing. Si Jinkee ang aking moral compass noong panahon na naliligaw ako sa tamang landas dahil sa aking tinatamasang karangyaan at kasikatan,” he said.
“Itinuwid niya ako at binigyan ng pagkakataon na magbalik-loob sa Diyos. Kahit kailan ay hindi nila ako pinabayaan kaya naman sinusuklian ko ito ng wagas at tunay na pagmamahal. Gagawin ko ang lahat upang mapaligaya ko sila,” Pacquaio said.
He said that like his mom and his wife, empowered women around the world have played very crucial roles not only in ensuring the success of their family but also in creating historical turning points that made the world a better place for all of mankind.
“By empowering our women, mankind has achieved so much to give us a better world,” Pacquiao said.
“Women are no longer in the sidelines and are now taking lead roles in many industries, sectors and professions. I’m specially thankful that the Philippines is leading champion in the protection and the advancement of women’s rights,” he said.
