    I think that the point of the article was that in the Philippines right now the President has declared all out war against drug dealers and other criminals, and is actively sanctioning their murder; so there have been thousands of dead drug dealers in the Philipppines recently and their deaths are being applauded. Pacquiao's revelation that he was once a drug user who turned his life around would be either an indictment of the current regime's policy or a cautionary tale about the dangers of irrevocable draconian actions.

    It's sort of like how both George W. Bush and Barack Obama both admitted to doing drugs, while simultaneously pushing for stiffer penalties for drug offenses. If either of them had gone to jail like many youths just like them have done, then their future's would have been ruined and they could not have become President of the United States.

    You don't see him as a dope, heroin fiend, but you're sure he smoked opium. You do know opium is dope/heroin opioids are the same as pure heroin.

    They make heroin from opium poppy plants.
    Not easy kicking that habit

    Manny is just a trash degenerate like the rest of his family. No wonder he burned through his share of the most lucrative purse history in less than a year.

    He sort of grew up homeless and on the streets selling cigarettes and ****.

    Makes sense he would do some recreational drugs to get by

    Mannys a great role model

    Went from drug abuser to superstar boxer to an influential politician on the world stage.

    I hope his story gives hope to those knuckleheads throwing their life away.
