Statement of Senator Richard J. Gordon on Manny Pacquiao's victory against Oscar De La Hoya

"By the sweat of his brow and the dexterity if his hands, Manny showed us the heart of a champion and the soul of a warrior when he faced--and defeated--a bigger, older and more experienced opponent than him. We should emulate him as he makes us all proud. Let us savor the moment, one that our history as a nation and as a people will never forget for a long time.
