Manny Pacquiao in Tagalog??

[VatoMulatto]

We all know Pacman is a hellava fighter but, let's face it his english isn't all that great so it's difficult to get to know him as a person. I was looking forward to see the interview he did when he was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live!....BUT he came off as a little kid who didn't seem to understand what the hell was going on, smiling, laughing and didn't really say anything.

He also wants to get into politics, so to the pinoys what is he like when he speaks tagalog? Is he a charismatic well spoken dude? Or is he one of those athletes that ppl like to make jokes about because he's clueless about pretty much everything that's not related to his sport??

MANILA—****ndang araw po ulit sa inyong lahat, mga ginigiliw kong mga kababayan, fans at mga tagasubaybay ng kolum na ito. Sana ay nasa mabuti kayong kalagayan gaya ng inyong a**** lingkod na kahit na ngayon pa lamang gu****ling ang mga sugat na tinamo sa laban ay lubhang maligaya na rin dahil nababakas at nakikita ko sa lahat ng mukha ng mga tao ang kaligayahan sa ating pagwawagi mga sampung araw na ang nakakaraan.

Para pa ring isang panaginip, itong pagkakapanalo natin noong November 14 sa bago at natatanging record ng boksing—ang ikapitong world title sa ikapitong magkakai**** weight class. Parang ngayon pa lang ako nagigising at namumulat sa aking gunita na nakuha ko na pala ang record sa boksing na wala pang nakakagawa sa buong kasaysayan ng sport.

Sino ba naman kasi ang makakapaniwala na matatalo natin ang Goliath ng boksing na si Miguel Angel Cotto, ang kampeon ng welterweight division, na inaasahang papasok sa aming laban na mas malakas dahil siya ay halos mas bata at lubhang mas malaki at matangkad sa akin.

Sa pagkakataong ito muli, gaya ng ilan sa aking mga nakaraang pakikipagtunggali, pinatunayan natin na kahit na mas maliit tayo sa laban ay walang papantay sa laki ng puso ng isang Pilipino.

Pinatunayan natin na hindi lang purong lakas ang ginagamit sa sport na ito kundi ang katalinuhan at ang sikolohiya ng pakikpaglaban. Kahit na maraming sakit ang nararamdaman, hindi ko ipinahalata sa laban na tinatablan din ako ng kaniyang mga suntok.

Dahil doon, napapaniwala natin si Cotto na hindi tinatablan ng kung kahit anong suntok si Manny Pacquiao at nagwagi tayo sa huli, sa ika-12 round ng sagupaan sa MGM Grand Garden Arena sa Las Vegas.

Nagawa nating lahat nito dahil na rin sa magkaka***it nating pananampalataya sa isa’t-isa at ang ating walang-kurap na pananalig sa Poong Maykapal, na siyang pinagmumulan at pinagmulan ng lahat ng mga biyayang ating natanggap bilang iisang bansa at iisang lipi.

Dahil naniwala ang marami sa atin na kaya nating talunin ang mga higante, gaya ng ating iba pang mga pagpapanalo kontra kina Oscar Dela Hoya, Ricky Hatton at David Diaz, tinitingala ngayon ang mga Pilipino sa buong mundo. Dahil sa ating pagsasama-sama sa loob ng ating mga silid at mga sinehan upang manood ng pay-per-view, itinuturing na ako bilang pinaka****ling na boksingero sa balat ng lupa at naungusan natin ang dating tinaguriang hari ng ring na si Floyd Mayweather Jr.. Pinatunayan natin na mas popular at mas sinubaybayan ang aming laban ni Cotto kahit na wala sa aming dalawa ang naging maya**** o nag-ingay upang maibenta lang naming ang show. Bagkus, naibalik namin ang ****ndang imahen ng boksing bilang isang gentleman’s sport. Malaking papuri at pasasalamat ko kay Miguel Cotto sa pagiging maginoo niya kahit sa gitna ng pagkatalo. I salute Mr. Cotto for making our fight one of the best fights of the year, if not the best.

Hanggang sa muling Kumbinasyon. God Bless Us All.

Our fight proved to be more popular and drew more interest than others without us becoming braggarts or creating noise just to sell the fight. We restored boxing's good image as a gentleman's sport.

How can you not like a guy that speaks the truth and down to earth.

Unlike some fighters who's arrogance are out of this world.

Tagalog is not his first language. His Tagalog is about just 2x better than his english.

[sireeznutz]

He's much more charismatic once he gets into Tagalog mode. Case in point, his victory speech after beating Larios. Uncomfortable with English, Manny switches to Tagalog and goes on a fiery rant, much to the chagrin of the Filipino people.

Also, if you watch Elie Seckback's P4P video taken during Pac's media day a week before the Cotto fight, you can see Pac providing more inspiration to the Filipino people, in front of a few Filipino reporters.

Cool, that's nice to hear.

"it is still like a dream, this win of November 14 with the new and only record in boxing- 7th world title in 7 different weight class. It is as if it is only now that am waking up and realized that i have already got the record that no other have done in the entire history of boxing."

Sino ba naman kasi ang makakapaniwala na matatalo natin ang Goliath ng boksing na si Miguel Angel Cotto, ang kampeon ng welterweight division, na inaasahang papasok sa aming laban na mas malakas dahil siya ay halos mas bata at lubhang mas malaki at matangkad sa akin.

"who would ever believed that we can defeat the Goliath of boxing that is Miguel Angel Cotto, the champion of welterweight division, who was expected coming to our fight stronger because he is younger and much bigger and taller than i."

Sa pagkakataong ito muli, gaya ng ilan sa aking mga nakaraang pakikipagtunggali, pinatunayan natin na kahit na mas maliit tayo sa laban ay walang papantay sa laki ng puso ng isang Pilipino.

"In that opportunity again, just like in my previous fights, we had proven that even when we are the smaller in the fight no one can equal the big heart of a Filipino.
