Manny Pacquiao's song is No. 19 in the U.S. billboard hit chart

EVEN IF HE’S now a certified billionaire, Pambansang Kamao Manny Pacquiao has remained so unassuming. The idea to give away big prizes for his game show, “Manny Many Prizes”, came from him. Program manager Ali Dedicatoria told us that before the show’s presscon, he went on a motorcade in Cubao and gave away money to people along the way. At the presscon, he raffled off many electric fans, comforters, bed sheets and cash prizes to the writers present. “Lahat ng pinamigay niya, galing sa kanya mismo,” says Ali.

No wonder he continues to be blessed. His album in the U.S. is selling very well (his “Sometimes When We Touch” is said to have landed on the No. 19 spot of the Billboard hit chart) and we have no doubt that his new show to start airing live on July 16 at 6 PM after “24 Oras” will also rate high. Those who want to join the show can get their tickets from GMA-7 on Thursday, July 14. Ali said Manny will give away a house and lot as grand prize for the first telecast. What can he say that he’s up against Willie Revillame’s show? “Wala namang personalan to,” he says. “Maging masaya na lang tayo na maraming nakakatulong sa mga mahihirap nating kababayan.”
