Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao Anti-drug TV Ad

That’s me showing Pacman how I want him to punch

 This is the first Television ad that I’ve ever directed. It stars Boxing Champ Manny Pacquiao. This happened about a year ago. This was an unforgettable experience for me since all through out, it felt so unreal that I am directing an international celebrity like The Pacman. But I managed to keep myself calm, somehow. He was very easy to work with, It figures because when it comes to acting experience, he has plenty.  Plus he’s very down to earth, something that you won’t usually expect from a person as successful and popular as he is. He likes fooling around on the set. Always cracking up jokes.

The Picture I took with Pacman using my Macbook

One of the most unforgettable experience I had during this project was when I showed Manny my MacBook (laptop) and I took our picture using it. He said "Wow! Ganda ng computer mo ah! May friendster ka? Add mo ako ha!" (Wow! You have a nice computer. You have a friendster account? Add me up!) That’s just so funny coming from him.

Hope you like this video. Tell me what you think!
