World Champion Boxer Manny Pacquiao Builds 1,000 Homes For Poor Filipinos -Risingsuntv

In the world of professional sports, athletes
have long recognized their roots and
beginnings and have been involved in helping
communities.




















Earning a hefty salary for doing
what they love, athletes worldwide have been
known to be involved in charitable causes,
and indulge in philanthropic efforts. Although
they put their well-being on the line in the ring,
professional boxers are known to bank
impressive amounts, win or lose, in world-
class match-ups.

Involved in what’s said to be the ‘fight of the
century’, professional boxer Manny Pacquiao ,
even upon his defeat, made over $100 million
and is now using his earnings towards a
respectable initiative.

The Philippines-native
took to Facebook with the message: “I’m so
happy giving this houses free to my
constituents in Sarangani Province from my
own pocket more than thousand families are
the beneficiaries.” Upon his major, worldwide-
viewed match with Floyd Mayweather Jr, he
was inspired to make a difference with his
earnings. The boxer felt it was his duty to give
back and recognize his roots at a time like
this.



















This remarkable act has now housed a
thousand families in his hometown, all thanks
to his heartwarming plan to make a
difference. Despite the power and aggression
that he exploits to the world in his boxing
matches, he is a warm-hearted individual who
is a man of the people.





























Born into poverty himself, he recognizes the
struggle and feels that it’s only right to give
back from his own fortunes, to where his
story began. He has always credited the
people from his past for his success, and this
gesture is an example of his gratitude.
