After earning millions for fighting Floyd Mayweather, the boxer and politician used a portion of his earnings to construct homes for 1,000 poor families in his hometown.
Manny Pacquiao is more than a world-class athlete or a Filipino politician. He’s a compassionate activist who paid for 1,000 homes to be built to help out underprivileged families in his hometown.
Earlier this year, Pacquiao proclaimed his good deed on Facebook:
“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.”
The Star reports that the ‘born-again Christian’ was inspired to help poor families after duking it out with Floyd Mayweather. Though he lost the boxing match, he still earned millions of dollars in the ‘fight of the century’ and felt it was his duty to give back.
He wrote:
“As faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms, each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others. I’m still building more because I always believe what the bible says offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.”
The act of compassion could be nothing more than a calculated political move, but nonetheless, 1,000 families have secure living spaces thanks to the Senator’s generosity. That, we believe, is worth celebrating.

The Vatican is worth trillions of dollars , if they were generous ( despite paying out millions of dollars because of pedophile priests ) there wouldn’t be a poor person on the planet let alone the Philippines
This is a man with heart & someone who understands humanity.
Maybe the beneficiaries of those houses was his friends and relative, why not put it to raffle to those in need not to your paisanos.
alert(“Done”)
The news doesn’t tell you the good news, only the crappy bad stuff. Higher rating I guess. Kudos to this man.
What is jehovah’s witness worth?
I don’t know Walid , but we are registered by law as a non profit organisation & that’s what we honestly do , we build all our own halls & large assembly halls ourselves & are now even making professional videos , all volunteers , all our literature is free to us & the public . Nobody will ever ask anyone even for 1 cent . In the well off countries all excess money in the contribution boxes goes to help our missionaries & to help poorer countries with natural disaster relief & to help them have nice halls like we have . Please see JW.org
because of this reason , you are here ….:)
Well done, good heart.
This is what uber rich people should be doing with some if their money.
Instead of buying more and more and more stuff they never use.
Why isn’t his Fascist Government doing a better job? Why in their traitorous short-comings have they relied upon celebrities to do _their duty_ to the citizenship and the helpless masses? The better question, instead of hounding the media and praising the band-aid, should be wondering the cause of the disease process that brought about the afflicted wound. _That_, “Truth Inside Of You,” should be the truth in you, you should be exploring further… Sad day for human intelligence on this FB page. 🙁
Nope. Definitely not his neighbors or relatives. The beneficiaries were those people whose houses were destructed by the typhoon. 🙂
Good job
Because our previous adminisitration were money grabing politicians and were run by drug Lords. But with the help of our new president Duterte and his administration I surely know that our funds and those that were donated by other countries will be used to restore houses and rebuild lives of the typhoon stricken filipinos. 🙂
If he was from usa it would be news all over the world.good for him to do that even if there are political motives

Way to go Manny. Great contributor to society Thanks
So, ummm, like a chicken in every Pol Pot type of promise and deal? Mass hysteria, delusion and hypnosis — have you heard of it… you daft, ignorant, pigling of a lemming? “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” I can only hope you’re one day guilty of a crime that alienates you from the group and you beloved leader lovingly executes you for it… Have fun with that, sweetums.
Thank you for the information, now I know he is not just a champion in the ring he is a man with good mission , GOD BLESS THIS CHAMP
