    It also says Nate Robinson from the NBA is also Filipino. I didn't know that.

    Some great athletes there.

    What ever he wants to be.
    As an amateur boxer he fought as an American.
    These are some of his amateur credentials
    * Won a gold medal at the 1999 US Junior Olympics championships at 106 lbs beating James Kirkland.
    * Quarter-finalist at the 1999 National Golden Gloves at 106 lbs.
    * Won gold medal at the 2000 United States championships at 106 lbs.
    * Competed at the 2000 US Olympic trials at 106 lbs beating Ron Siler, Raul Martinez, losing to Karoz Norman and Brian Viloria. Viloria too defeated Nonito's brother Glenn in the semifinals.
    As a Pro he won the WBO Asia-Pacific Flyweight Title which would indacate Pinoy. However he also has won the NABF Super Flyweight Title . which would indacate American.

    He's both.



    Just like the 60 million immigrants that live and work in the USA.

    You're a moron. Last time I checked Ireland, Italy, England and Germany are doing pretty well for themselves but I dont see a mass immigration back to those countries. :nut

    It's sad that Pacquiao isn't even the best boxer from his highschool

    It's actually really easy for that to happen seeing as how Pac didn't finish high school until after the fact. He went pro when he was 16 and had stopped formal education before that to feed his family.

    That's bull****. Back when he lost his first fight in his second fight as a pro, he wanted to quit boxing forever, but with the support of his family and other Filipinos who knew him, he regained his love of the sport and took it up again. The rest is history.

    Nowhere have I seen Filipinos not wanting him. Every Filipino news about him have been nothing but praises.

    If that quote is from him(which you should provide proof), then he is hugely misinformed and needs to get his facts straight. Same with you, if you just made that up.

    Brian Viloria is the one most Filipinos don't want.

    We've seen some of the brightest pacfags on this website want to disown him. They have even said the "brothas" can have Nonito.
