    He is quite articulate when speaking Tagalog. The man has a 6th grade education. Did pass a high school test the equivalent of a GED here. Has taken college courses in his hometown. He's not yet booksmart. As far as learning ability, here's an article from the New York Times:

    You feel you need to throw bilinear and covariance there huh.
    Well there is also a correlation between IQ and success in life. I guess Pacquiao has a much higher IQ than you then.

    :roflOwned like a *****.

    If this guy had any training at all, he would understand that 1. Correlation does not imply causation (this is really Psych 101 here) and you showed a perfect example why 2. Taking group samples and applying them to a single individual is a total fallacy. In other words, group averages are very often lousy predictors of individual performance. They are rough guides at best - certainly not enough to draw the kinds of conclusions he's making regarding Pac's IQ.

    He answers interviews pretty well actually (in tagalog or bisaya).

    Winning boxing matches against elite fighters by following gameplans, IMO, is enough to tell a person a genius on that craft--coupled with his unwavering humility and care to people--makes him so special and one-of-a-kind pugilist!

    Then that makes Custodio more popular than Pacquiao then, who lost to her the first time he ran for Congress 4 years ago.

    Lol. That's lumping 100 million of them. You ignorant ****.

    Both of you should be beaten in broad daylight by athletes, and executed by the military at the end of the day. You ignorant ****s.
