Philippines very own boxing champ - Manny Pacquiao graces the cover of Readers’ Digest December 2008 issue. The photo was shot by Tim Tadder, a sports photographer from the US.The cover says “More Power: Pacquiao in the fight of his life” referring not just about his biggest bout come December 6 versus Oscar dela Hoya but also about the trials and tribulations he had undergone to be the world champion that he is now.
Here are some interesting excerpts from the interview: Growing up in General Santos City on the island of Mindanao in the southern Philippines, 12-year-old Manny had a choice: he could stay in school or he could help his mother feed the family. From getting pennies a fight as a boy, to P3,000 pesos as an under-aged professional, he will earn at least $15 million just to step into the ring with welterweight Oscar De La Hoya
This issue of the Readers Digest has increased in circulation by 50% due to market demand.
