For the latest Philippine news stories and videos, visit GMANews.TV Hopefully, Manny Pacquiao won't suffer the same fate as popular biblical figure Samson when the latter's hair was cut, causing him to lose his superhuman strength. The eight-division world champion finally got a haircut as he began training on Thursday for his May 7 bout against Shane Mosley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacquiao has sported long hair for a few months as a tribute to his idol and martial arts icon Bruce Lee, and not teen heartthrob and YouTube singing sensation Justin Bieber. The Sarangani province representative said his long locks have began to obstruct his vision as he began with light conditioning exercises. Aside from a light workout, Pacquiao also played a game of basketball with Team Pacquiao members. The Filipino boxing superstar said that he is excited about his 12-round slugfest against Mosley since US President Barack Obama will be watching the match on pay-per-view. Pacquiao added that Obama even told him that he’ll try to visit the Sarangani Congressman in the Philippines. - JVP, GMA News
