Sports icon, yes. Hero, no. He boxes for his money. There's nothing wrong with that, though. But it would be wrong if we classify his personal pursuit as heroism. The pride he brings to the Filipino people is great but its not enough to be called heroism. Yes, the concept of "National Hero" is very American. But that does not remove the fact that Gat Jose Rizal stood up to his ideals to death and that his works sparked the revolution. It would also be wrong to think of Rizal as an elitist just because he was part of the elite. Has he not schooled and educated indio children?

Like Paeng Efren Bata etc.. Nagdala rin ng fame sa pinoy yang mga yan, pero bakit si Manny lang ang hero? Ayoko ng maging sundalo, makapagboxing na lang para maging hero!! Unfair ito sa ibang magagaling nating athletes!!!
