Pacman is not only a great boxer, he's also a great symbol to people the world over. He symbolizes the fact that regardless of your background and how many HATERZ you may have, if you work hard and believe in yourself, you can achieve your dreams. The man rose from crushing Third World poverty to make his dreams come true--he truly embodies the TRUTH that hope comes from within. No wonder many people consider him the Philippines' real national hero instead of
Jose Rizal.
