The Philippine Daily Inquirer has just named Manny Pacquiao as Filipino of the Year 2008, because of his achievements in boxing. In 2008, Manny battled three current and former champions in three different weight divisions — and defeated them all, becoming no longer a Philippine treasure, but an international superstar.
This is the second time that Manny has won the Filipino of the Year award. He won it in 2003 when he defeated Mexican icon Marco Antonio Barrera. The only other person who has won this award twice is former President Corazon Aquino.
