“A typical work/training day for Pacquiao begins with a 5 a.m. wakeup call that has him doing his multimile morning run one hour later. His run is followed by grueling strength and conditioni­ng work with Justin Fortune. After that, it’s a shower, a daily reading of the Bible and breakfast before he heads off in business attire to the Senate for a full day of legislativ­e duties. Pacquiao usually arrives at the gym between 5 and 6 p.m. where he works out for three hours with (trainer) Freddie Roach and his sparring partners. The day ends with dinner at home, followed by a game of chess and a deep sleep. True to his promise to the electorate, Pacquiao did not miss one senate session.”

Pacquiao is expected to travel to Los Angeles this weekend to finish his training at Roach’s Wild Card Boxing gym.

“It is all about discipline and time management,” Pacquiao said. “Boxing is my passion, and public service is my calling. I will continue to travel both roads as long as I can do both effectivel­y. I dedicate the fights I take on to my fans and my countrymen. They have kept me in their prayers. I fight to bring glory to the Philippine­s whether I’m wearing boxing gloves or standing on the floor of the Senate.” Contact Gilbert Manzano at gmanzano@reviewjour­nal. com or 702-383-0492.
