Manny Pacquiao, a world pound-for-pound champ and the first boxer in history to win major world titles in four of the original eight weight boxing divisions, is winning hearts of school leavers here.
Pacquiao — now a member of the Philippine Senate — is back in college, taking a bachelor’s degree in political science at the University of Makati in the financial capital of Manila.
The evidence: His college ID.
Pacquiao, the first boxer in history to win major world titles in four of the original eight weight boxing divisions, posted his college ID card on social media on Friday
“Never stop learning because life never stops teaching,” Pacquiao posted on Instagram, which featured his school ID card.
Pacquiao has competed in professional boxing since 1995 and is regarded by many boxing historians as one of the greatest professional boxers of all time.
Pacquiao previously revealed that he would soon get a college degree in a TV interview about his stand on requiring senatorial and presidential bids to be college graduates.
Pacquiao was earlier enrolled in the business management program of Notre Dame of Dadiangas University in his hometown, General Santos City.
He did not complete the course.
Pacquiao was given an honorary doctorate degree in humanities by the Southwestern University in Cebu City, back in 2009.
The senator-boxer earned his high school diploma in 2007, after passing the accreditation and equivalency test under the Department of Education’s Alternative Learning System.
Pacman is the first boxer in history to win the lineal championship in five different weight divisions, as well as being the first boxer in history to win major world titles in four of the original eight weight divisions of boxing, also known as the “glamour divisions”: flyweight, featherweight, lightweight and welterweight.–
