She added that Pacquio can inspire the students, teachers, and other listeners because he can tell us how he succeed and achieved his stature and wealth.
Likewise, Atty. M. Mikhail Lee L. Maxino, dean of the College of Law said, ”I think the students will love him because Congressman Manny Pacquiao represents the people who succeed with perseverance and honest means, honest discipline, and hard work. And in fact, he is an icon all over the world.”
He said that Pacquio can also be an effective official “because like many of us, we also learned on-the-job”. He said that Pacquio can be articulate enough by his own means, and effective because he is surrounded with brilliant experts and legal counsel.(PR)
