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.
“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.
