Pacman’s Next Challenge: To Finish College
« on: December 14, 2008, 05:49:25 AM »
Manny Pacquiao is eyeing his next big challenge, not Ricky Hatton or Floyd Mayweather Jr.—but earning a college diploma.

Pacquiao back in the Philippines after defeating Oscar de la Hoya on Sunday, said his boxing career would not last forever. The Filipino southpaw said education is what would sustain him after retirement from fighting.

“Gusto ko pa ring ipagpatuloy ang pag-aaral ko. Gusto ko matapos iyun. Iba naman ang boxing hindi pang-habangbuhay [I want to continue my schooling. I want that. Boxing is different, as that is not for life],” he said.

Pacquiao’s statement is indeed welcome news to the Department of Education. Secretary Jesli Lapus announced that Pacquiao would serve as the department’s champion and spokesman for its Alternative Learning System, a program designed to lure back to school some 12 million out-of-school children and adults nationwide.

In 2007, Pacquiao earned the Education department’s Accreditation and Equivalency for high-school dropouts. The boxer took the exam at the Ireneo Santiago National High School in General Santos City, his hometown.

Based on department records, he scored 82 percent in communication skills, 82 percent in English comprehension and 66 percent in Mathematics and science.

His overall ratings were 70 percent correct, a standard score of 95 percent and a percentile rank of 70 percent.

The equivalency qualified Pacquaio to apply for admission to a college or university, but apparently, he has not decided which one.

We are proud of Manny as a boxer, a professional, and as a person, as he sees the value of education as a key component in life, and we do hope many people who haven’t finished their college education will emulate his plans, and finish a degree.

I noticed Manny Pacquiao is a fast learner.

If you observe, na improved iyang English in just a very short time.

Also he knows how to face the media and all his lines are un-scripted. It just came naturally from his mouth. The way he talks (English or Tagalog) is very spontaneous which reflects his quick thinking.

His reasoning power can handle bluffs and candid questions. I think he could be a good lawyer.

Mag classmate mi ni Manny  ;D

He will be his own scholar (nanubra iyang sapi).
I will be a scholar of my Daddy Macky  ;D

Together, we will outbox illiteracy
We will knockout ignorance
We will make poverty throw in the towel!

GEC you could outbox Manny with your witty punch lines.

Another possible course for Manny is BSEED major in Music.

I saw him as a guest in Wowowee year 2006 ( uso pa kadtong Bum Tarat-tarat).  There was a bisayan fan who grabbed his arm and ask for some financial help, he replied that it is not money that always counts but friendship. The way he replied without being irritated and his honest response impressed me.
