This critical paper discusses how the body of champion boxer Manny Pacquiao
\nserves as a metaphor-product of the Filipino community’s national imagination
\n- a communal imaginary that undergoes habitual conditioning/s in preparation
\nfor that moment of absolute alliance, but has recently emerged with injuries and/
\nor alterations that have ruptured this cycle of the nation’s imaginary. The three
\nphases in which the boxer’s body is situated – training, fighting, and injury – will
\nbe the key contextual spaces in the analysis of Pacquiao’s body as metaphor for
\nthe Filipino people and product for the West. Furthermore, the seminar paper
\nexamines the consequential nature on how this national/colonial imaginary is
\nconstructed. This formation and patronage of Pacquiao’s boxing career throughout
\nthe years is received and substantiated by two gazes: one by the Filipinos who
\ntranslate his muscular body as affirmation of a robust national identity, and the
\nother by the Western fans and athletic companies who inadvertently produce a
\ncolonial imagination of the Philippines.
