An Environmentalist Boxer
The world knows about this Filipino boxer who brought down many Mexican boxing greats, Manny Pacquiao. He was even the first Filipino endorser of Nike wherein the top 10 athletes of the world took part in the Nike commercial, and he was the first Asian boxer to win three world titles in three different weight divisions. Not known to everyone, Pacman is doing his part in protecting and conserving our environment. He is now the Task Force Luwas Kinaiyahan of Mindanao which recently freed 100 turtles into the ocean. He is also working out with the Philippine government to form the Philippine Tuna Council, which will help the tuna fishermen in the region.
