All Sports has a great effect in bringing people together, of uniting whole counties together. Whether it is a team or individual sport like boxing it brings raw emotional feelings which erases differences among and between people. An entire country can unite behind the efforts of their countryman to bring triumph, honor and prestige as has been evident with Filipino Boxing Legend Manny Pacquiao. When he fights, the entire nation stops to watch and cheer him on feeling together that his win is also the win of the nation. Even now when he is semi retired ,people of all walks are immediately drawn to him ,getting their treasured selfies or autographs which I am sure will be treasured memories for years.
Another rising Sports personality attracting same adulation as Manny Pacquiao is current Tennis Star Alex Eala. In her recent matches in Manila ,Philippines, in Australia and in the Middle East, the Stadium where she is playing is always sold out where Filipinos in the Philippines and abroad come and cheer her on , win or lose. Whatever economic or political differences they have are set aside as they cheer their Sports Hero.
Although Tennis and Boxing are sports worlds apart the two Filipino Icons have telltale similarities. Both have very warm, easily approachable personalities, no plastic facades and both genuinely like to be with people. Anyone who comes near them with a selfie camera or looking for an autograph are sincerely obliged with a smile. Unlike many celebrities they have no airs," hindi mayabang " in the dialect on so are relatable to the common people.
Their triumphs, with Manny being acknowledged as one of the all-time greats and Alex following on the same footsteps, have certainly been successful in their chosen careers with a great influence on the next generation .
We cannot all be a Manny Pacquiao or an Alex Eala but by looking closely at the character, mindset and habits of these and other Sports Champions, you and I can also be Champions and successful in our own chosen fields of endeavor.
Follow my posts as I will uncover for you these mindsets and habits in my succeeding posts .
But first,,,let's all stay healthy, more plants based food, exercise regularly, hydrate, relax often, sleep well and be healthier in body, mind and Spirit
" SALUN-AT KADATAYO am amin "

Grit and Determination is a definite mind set and Habit of Sports Champions like Manny Pacquiao and Alex Eala. This was very evident in last night's (Jan 28,2026) match with Himeno Sakutsume of Japan when she trailed 0-2;in the 1st set but summoning that Grit and Determination of a Champion, she managed to refocus, break the serve of the opponent, held her own serve and closed it out with a 6-4 score and went on to win the match with 6-4 and 6-0 . A thrilling match all the way but a Champions grit can carry the day.
Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao has had many bouts with Juan Manuel Marquez, Antonio Barrera, Tim Bradley wherein he would be on the receiving end of punches but he would always punch his two gloves, raise them together signifying he was still ready to go to war and proceed with grit and Determination to convincingly win the fight.
So can you and I my Fitness Friends, that when our lives encounter rough sailing, we can follow in the footsteps of Manny and Alex, and with grit and Determination still "win our battles in our own lives" ,,di ba!
Comment if you 👍 agree!
And Stay Fit and Healthy! SALUN-AT!

Champions have championship habits which sets them apart,,and so can you in your own life.
Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao always has a mindset of continuous learning,,,and many times when I observe him in his Gym workouts in preparation for fights abroad, he consults regularly with Coach Freddie on how to execute a boxing combination then follows with the actual demonstration,,after which he would again say to Coach Freddie " is that OK? ,"
Current Tennis Rising Star Alex Eala seems to have the same attitude and Habit when she always thanks her Coaching Team ,,,during her interviews after a match. She credits her Uncle as her first Coach,,,then playing with brother Miko, before proceeding to Spain for added upgrades from her Coaches in the world renowned Rafael Nadal Tennis Academy. Her current wind at the WTA 125 Tennis Classic in New Zealand has been the fruit of coachable habits inculcated when young and which I believe she carries even today.
We too, my champion friends can be champions in our own field in life if we have a humble, coachable habit like Legend Manny Pacquiao and Tennis Star ⭐ Alex Eala..
So keep on swinging your forehands and your jab straights, but listen to our wiser life coaches so we can be a Champion in our own lives!
First,,Let's stay healthy!!!
