International boxing superstar and now Congressman Manny Pacquiao just reached another milestone in his stellar career. He placed number 55 in the recent Celebrity 100 power list by Forbes. He beat the following notable Hollywood stars: Tom Cruise (56), Robert Downey Jr. (73), and Daniel Radcliffe (82). It’s amazing how Manny Pacquiao is making a global mark as a Filipino and I hope that he inspires more of us to excel and be excellent in whatever it is we’re doing. For the top 10 for this year, Oprah Winfrey is still number one followed by Beyonce Knowles, James Cameron, Lady Gaga, Tiger Woods, Britney Spears, U2, Sandra Bullock, Johnny Depp, and Madonna.
People are hoping that they’ll get to see Pacquiao take on Floyd Mayweather later this year. Let’s see if the match pushes through. If ever it does, it will be Pacquiao’s last fight as a professional boxer before he focuses his efforts in Philippine politics.
