NO TROUBLE-seeker. When Manny Pacquiao was still struggling to earn a living on the streets of General Santos selling cigarettes to pedestrians and motor vehicle drivers, there was one troublesome PUJ drivers who would always make fun of him. “kusog mobugal-bugal kang Manny,” an Ear former said. “Manny left him alone... Wa lang mobawos og bugal-bugal si Manny. Ingon ana ka mapa-ubsanon si Manny. Pasensiyoso.”
FORGIVING. Now that Manny is setting on top of the world as the best boxer pound-for-pound, the abusive PUJ driver who used to make fun of Manny told fellow drivers he felt sorry about what he did to Manny. Pricked bad by his conscience, this driver, according to an Ear sources, approached Manny to say sorry. “nahinumdom ka pa tingali nako nga kusog mobugal-bugal nimo, Manny,” the driver said. “Nakahimumdom kaayo...imo paman gani ko gidukol kausa,” recalled Manny who was smiling and putting an arm around the repentant driver. “kalimti na to, Dong,” Manny said.
