Imagine a boxer went to and invited by no less than the President of the United States of America, the wealthiest and center of the capitalist system, he must be very lucky. The former president of the Philippines, Gloria Macapagal, have a hard time arranging a meeting with President Obama.

Manny Pacquiao, indeed is a very lucky world class boxer. I don’t know and remember a boxer who was invited to the White House.

Bags of M & M chocolates and a watch with the Presidential Seal was given to Manny Pacquiao.
