Manny, for his part, sees the accolade as another way to represent and bring pride to the country. “I’m very honored that they chose me,”  Manny says. “Masaya ako na maitataas ko muli ang bandera ng Pilipinas sa ganitong paraan. Madame Tussauds Hong Kong has many personalities including my fellow athletes and excited ako na makatabi ko sila doon.”
