“Cebu’s Southwestern University (SWU) has decided to confer an honorary doctorate on boxing champion Manny Pacquiao on Feb. 18, but at least two educators here are resisting the idea.”

Inquirer Online reports on how granting an honorary degree of doctorate in human kinetics to Manny Pacquiao may be a violation of government policy.

Indolent Indio thinks that Manny doesn’t need it:

And really, Southwestern U., how much more of an honor would a Ph.D be for Pacquiao? He’s already the champ, the Pambansang Kamao, the country’s ambassador for peace (or whatever), a GMA Kapuso star, and a winnable congressional candidate. The only thing that could possibly trump all that is to be declared a god. Maybe by one of the the Banahaw Rizalista sects. I mean, he already sort of looks like Jose Rizal.
