Manny Pacquiao | Full Address and Q&A | Oxford Union 

FYI, and just to add to all the commenters here, back in the Morales trilogy era, Senator Manny hired an international English Professor and he had daily English classes so he could improve his English Vocabulary and Writing.. he did this because he was being ridiculed by the media, comedians and his opponents because he couldnt speak English very well, same goes for his opponents here in the Philippines when he was running for governor at the time, they said he was illiterate.. we chose this man to represent us in the senate not because he holds numerous titles, or educational degrees.. we chose Manny because he represents the majority of us Filipinos who have no voice in the Senate filled with greedy, corrupt, rich, power hungry politicians..

Why this man is invited at Oxford Union? He maybe less in education but his life experience that made him more humane and humble to serve God, his country men who are less fortunate and never turn his head away from poverty. This made us realize that education come in different forms and outside of schools/universities.

This is a living proof that eloquence and intellect doesn’t amount to anything if sincerity is not there. People can criticize this person for his vocabulary or lack there of but at the end of the day he is a person who’s true to himself and willing to help in anyway he can. We can always judge and humiliate a person for not being able to speak intellectually but for a public servant I’ll take honesty, sincerity and perseverance more than an Ivy League candidate who uses their premier education in growing their own wealth and prominence. He’s a dignified, decent well being that doesn’t deserve to be criticized just because he doesn’t have a good command of the English language or simply put... not articulate enough to impress those who put him down. Stay blessed and keep helping others, we’re right behind you.

Pac had low education in English,could not speak properly and lack of vocab.If he talks in his own native Language,he could be very coherent.Oxford is great,and allowed him to express the best he can without looking down on him.Give people who are struggling in English a chance to speak up,and more often they could become better.

he gave his opinion on same sex marriage, some agreed, others don't. that doesn't mean he is a bad person. if being a bad person means he donates and builds houses for thousands of people, cares and shares to ordinary people, made his way to the top by working hard despite the odds, then there is something wrong here. we can't take one negative comment or negative act then erase all he has done for the country and for the sport. Not all are academically inclined as others, but his life is an inspiration, he was so poor yet it didn't stopped him reaching for his dream. I respect him as an athlete and a human being, i may disagree with him politically but for me he is a good man. You are a legend Manny!!!

I cant help but feel myself getting my eyes tearing down for what my countryman exposure about what was him before.

This Man of God and Man of the People is Amazing...he may not be that Good in Fluent English Speaking..but he answers all the Questions well and Straight to the Point from the Heart which makes him so relatable and easy to understood by his listeners.. His Answers are more Impactful better than the present Miss Universe Top 5 ! ..haha

(Proud to be a Filipino)....I have only the equivalent of Form 6 formal education, and it's only now am I pursuing the equivalent of a university degree in a non-traditional manner...think of David and Goliath, and look at me. I don't have the five smooth stones with which David defeated Goliath... But I am a fighter...ever since I was fighting for survival... only now, I fight for money. Typhoon Haiyan was a defining moment for me. No one I saw when I visited Tacloban had HOPE in their eyes...until I shot a few hoops and the kids picked up...soon we were playing full court! The Manny Pacquiao story is a fairy tale story worth telling and retelling. Believe in the family; believe in God! From the power of one, we can build a power of 50, 100, 1000...

Imagine when he step his foot in the US, he was like zero english. Can't read english well and can't write english. But, he forced himself to learn english. Even the invitations from tv shows to be a guest is already a challenge to himself.. I admire this guy.

Legend who doesn't speak English as a 1st language. Killed it at Oxford =)

The real hero here is the person who wrote that speech

Great Job Manny! Tho he can't express fluently what he meant to say, we can definitely understand what he was trying to say! A humple person like you is incredible.

Legend

Go go go Manny Pacquiao you are still our Best and World champion boxer. 🥊🥊🥊❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏

IDOL Manny merely lacks the words to fully express himself from deepest chamber of his mind, heart and soul. Despite his poor education, he is uniquely gifted with super human strength, fighting spirit, a soft heart for the poor and possessed multifarious talents, who is only one in a million, that UK students and the entire world watching are eager to listen the Pacquiao's version of King Solomon wisdom.

That tiger shark analogy was great sir manny! 😂😂

With determination and with your education you can change the world 🙏👆👆👆💕

Manny your a hero we love you never forget your creator or lord praise him every time you win " he will give you VICTORY " stY humble and precious as you are always " we love you "

I believe there is no perfect in the world, but Pacman was good at all and smart at the same time 👍👍 mabuhay ka Manny PAQUIAO I'm so proud of you 👊👊👊👊

Listen to the content of Senator Manny Pacquiao speech it's inspiring..Not how good how he deliver his English. Very Proud of our Champ.🇵🇭❤

Kodus to Senator Manny Pacquiao.English is our second language aside from our own dialect but you're still good in a public speaking.I'm watching this video from Canada 🇨🇦 🇵🇭

This really made me cry and ask the Lord to help this man and guide and protext him and his family. !

🇵🇭 must be proud of #MannyPacquiao

Salute and Respect to you My Senator Manny .

The life story of Senator Manny Pacquiao is reflective the 90 percent of Filipinos plight. He is not eloquent but his BIG HEART for the poor and strong faith in God are enough for me to say he should run for President in 2022.

Go Manny! Proud Pinoy here.

Not an avid fan of Pacquiao, but one thing we tend to over look as a Filipino, or rather as a person. That is to inspire others to inspire ourselves. If he can over come all or most of the challenges in life by which he has so little so meager. How much more those who have some or more in life. He may not be qualified to certain duties or profession but one thing is. He inspires us. Especialy those who can, who have , and most qualified to contribute. It is the life lesson we are not seeing. For those who can, one thing is needed the willingness to share and live up to the task we can contribute to.

The real "People Champ"

Thank you Manny.

hope he just hired an interpreter so that he wouldn't be laughed at for his mistakes and stuttering answers

Manny is one of a kind. One that is admirable inside and outside the ring and even as a politician. He is the only boxer I know that never trash talk his opponents. He always respect his opponents in triumph or defeat. A true symbol of sportsmanship!

Best boxing fighter in the history of man kind

In the Philippines,Manny Pacquiao showed to all Filipinos that being poor is not a hindrance to be successsful In life. Being poor, actually motivates him to work harder. Look at him now, he become an inspiration to majority Of the Filipino People.

I am so proud of our beloved Senetor Pacquiao! You are atrue fighter in many ways. Not only in boxing. You fought for suvival in life to live, in everything you do, you keep pushing up in spite with your little knowledge in education. Until you came to a point of receiving an invitation from a high class University abroad, you are still proud and fight to go for it regardless of your educational attainment. Keep up and continue educate yourself and more power. Belated congratulation for this.

Please support Manny Pacquiao for President 2022.

Manny Pacquiao is a great boxer of all time. That alone speaks of his greatness. In the boxing ring he fights with dignity even how hard the fight. His Christian virtues are evident in all his fights. He is humble, never brags like what his opponents do. He is self- disciplined, prayerful, and commits his victory to God. He is honest and obedient as he follows his coach and observe the boxing rules very well and doesn't cheat on his opponents. A person's character is not defined or measured by his proficiency in speaking English. In fairness to him, his not being able to express himself well in English language doesn't make him a lesser person. To his credit I think he speaks other Philippines' dialects which his detractors dont even know of. Please be sensible and responsible in making comments. Manny Pacquiao is a generous person and is an inspiration to others worthy of emulation.

The humble person even he is famous person the one I ever know

Manny Pacquiao is awesome inside and outside the ring

Bloody hell this is a big deal....congratulations Manny Pacquiao!👍

If the questions were delivered to him in his native language then we'll get an articulate answer. Honestly, there is a language barrier.

You Are blessed I hope all politician will be like you to make Philippines 🇵🇭 will be a better for all pilipinos

who cares if he cant speak straight english what matters is having a good heart and his intent to serve the people.

Thank you very much god bless..

Is he running for President of America? How lucky Pacquiao is! He is already campaigning in America! “GOD BLESS the PHILIPPINES”

He did his best to answer all the questions. Proud of you Sir Manny. English speaking wont deifne your strength, will, dedication and hardwork.

The greatest ever Pacquiao

Same sex marriage,... If Jesus Christ is here with us physically at this very moment of time Will He be happy about same sex marriage? Because Jesus Christ is a man and definitely would not willing to sleep with a fellow man. Good Job Pacquiao... THE basis of being right is not the opinion of men but the basis of being right is the WORD OF GOD.

A Salute to you Manny.

Diyos ko nakakaawa ang pinas pag ikaw nanalo

Awesome speech by the senator

The interviewer was asking questions way too fast for a non native english speaker.

D ko pa tapos panourin, naiiyak na ako.

bravo hon. senator manny pacman., pacquiaio .so inspiring Educational.a Humbling experience''"".u deserve to Be Our Vice Pres.4 2022 Election. .good luck n god bless.

Sen Paqiuao, your speech in oxford union society we felt awkward, kick out your speech writer, nilagay ka niya sa kahihiyaan, you always stating first person puro ako, ako ako, i..i.., unsa ka man dodong how can you become president if you cant brought your personal wisdom, principle and vision to your country ...

Wow! He's wonderful! An ideal pugilist & public servant. Truly a word champ.

I'm still waiting for the Queen to dub him a knight.

I've watched the full address and Q&A at the Oxford Union/University with Manny Pacquiao and the students... I can say that I'm proud of Manny Pacquiao that he did all his best to answer all the students questions... English speaking won't define your strength, will, dedication and hardwork... In my own opinion, Manny Pacquiao will be better off being a senator rather than running for the highest govt seat...he could help more poor people, families and all the needy citizens in the country.

You are a senator corap in the Philippines

GodblessuYourWay Senator Emanuel Paquiao d next Phillipine President

I like what MP mentioned to quote, "My life is incredible but true. Miracles do come true." That's how God hands moved in mysterious ways.
