Hidilyn Diaz and Manny Pacquiao Unite to Inspire Youth
POV: TWO LEGENDS IN ONE FRAME 💪 It was a powerful moment for Philippine sports as Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz described meeting boxing icon Manny Pacquiao as a “once-in-a-lifetime honor.” The two national heroes proudly served as torchbearers during the opening ceremony of Batang Pinoy Gensan 2025, held in General Santos City, the same event where Hidilyn once competed back in 2002. Diaz expressed her hope to inspire young athletes who are now walking the same path she once took, proving that dreams do come true with hard work and perseverance. As a Filipino, I’m deeply proud of both Hidilyn and Manny two champions who have brought immense pride and glory to our nation. Their dedication and achievements continue to ignite the flame of hope, courage, and excellence in every Filipino’s heart.🔥 CTTO 📸: Hidilyn/Instagram
