MANILA - Vice President Leni Robredo said she hopes that boxing icon Manny Pacquiao, will be inspired to get back up after his loss to Jeff Horn.
"Manny's loss today will be a disappointment to many Filipinos, particularly those loyal fans who have cheered him on and have been inspired by him throughout his career," Robredo said in a statement.
Robredo also likened Pacquiao's defeat to the condition of Filipinos, who, despite problems and calamities, refuse to be knocked down.
"But every loss is also an opportunity to get back up - this has been the story of Manny Pacquiao, as it has also been the story of millions of other Filipinos. Battered by poverty, by calamity, by prejudice, so many of our brothers and sisters have been knocked down, but continue to muster the will to get back up," she said.
The vice president, likewise, hopes Pacquiao will get inspiration from fellow Filipinos.
"They have always been a source of strength and inspiration to me, and in this hour of disappointment, I hope they will also be for Manny," Robredo said."Manny's loss today will be a disappointment to many Filipinos, particularly those loyal fans who have cheered him on and have been inspired by him throughout his career," Robredo said in a statement.

Meanwhile, many are sad because of the loss of the people's champ. A variety of comments and photos of the real winner on social media is posted for everyone to see for us to feel a little better. But one thing we need to keep in mind right now, aside from Pacquiao's defeat, our brave soldiers needs to win the war that is happening right now in Marawi.
Definitely there is a rematch which many says it will promote a good fortune to the promoters of the said boxing event.
