Inside the boxing ring, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao is the picture of a prized and an indomitable fighter. The ferocious look that tells his opponent "Watch out, I am going to get you," the rippling biceps ready to throw those mean left punches, the boxing skills primed and proven many times over. Manny is truly the People’s Champ who brings perennial honor to Filipinos and the Philippines.

"We have a responsibility in this business. I don’t sell big fireworks to people who don’t know how to use it. I make the prices a little bit expensive so people won’t have easy access to the fireworks we sell. It is dangerous especially when you don’t have enough knowledge on how to use it," explains Salvador "Doy" Tan, the man behind Starmaker, Inc., one of the most successful pyrotechnics companies in the country.

Inside the boxing ring, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao is the picture of a prized and an indomitable fighter. The ferocious look that tells his opponent "Watch out, I am going to get you," the rippling biceps ready to throw those mean left punches, the boxing skills primed and proven many times over. Manny is truly the People’s Champ who brings perennial honor to Filipinos and the Philippines.

"We have a responsibility in this business. I don’t sell big fireworks to people who don’t know how to use it. I make the prices a little bit expensive so people won’t have easy access to the fireworks we sell. It is dangerous especially when you don’t have enough knowledge on how to use it," explains Salvador "Doy" Tan, the man behind Starmaker, Inc., one of the most successful pyrotechnics companies in the country.
