Lots of netizens reacted on the post about the inspiring action of the boxer-turned-senator.

One netizen expressed in his comment that he is one of those who are guilty of judging the Senator as he is “much better” when compared to “high intellectual politicians” who only works for “their own interest”.”
“Sana pag nakagawa si manny ng konting pagkakamali sana wag ng palakihin ang issue… tao rin yan di perpekto,” stated one netizen.
[Hopefully, when Manny commits a little mistake, the issue won’t be enlarged… He is also a person, imperfect.]
One netizen stated in her comment that it is good that people will be addicted to sports instead of drugs. Another netizen commented that the Senator grew up in poverty that is why he knows the feeling of those who are at the bottom.
Lots of netizens really expressed that voting for Sen. Pacquiao was really right and many Facebook users really praised the humble gesture of the Senator.
