FILIPINO ring icon Manny Pacquiao paid tribute to compatriot, newly crowned Ms. Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, saying that she showed what kind of people Filipinos are. 

“Courage, composure, poise, humility. These are the traits and character that made us Filipinos known to other people throughout the world. And these, Pia displayed during her coronation especially amidst confusion and tumult that marked the last day of the Miss Universe contest,” Pacquiao said in an interview Monday shortly after news of Wurtzbach’s victory was shown on television.

What makes Wurtzbach more admirable, Pacquiao said, is her love for country and people as well as her confidence, when she vowed to avenge the Filipino icon’s loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. with the tweet “Kalma lang guys. Babawi tayo.”

“Which she did,” the Fighter of the Decade awardee of the Boxing Writers Association of America said. “That is why ngayon ay ako naman ang mangangako sa kaniya at sa ating mga kababayan that I will use those traits that she showed as my inspiration and added motivation in my coming fight early next year.” 

“Ipinangangako ko, gaya nang ipinangako niya noon, na gagawin ko ang lahat ng aking makakaya para ipanalo ang susunod kong laban para din sa bayan,” Pacquiao, also the only man in the history of boxing to capture lineal titles in four divisions, vowed.
