The Southwestern University will award Manny Pacquaio a degree Doctorate in Human Kinetics, “Honoris Causa.” This was officially announced by the University’s administration, on which the conferment will be done on February 18, 2009.
“Honoris causa” is a Latin phrase which means “for the sake of the honor” and it is an academic degree conferred by a university in which the usual requirements such as matriculation, residence, lessons and the passing of examinations are waived. Usually the degree is conferred as a way of honoring a distinguished person’s contributions to a specific field of endeavor or to the society in general. The university often derives benefits by association and alliance with the person being honored.
Human Kinetics is a study on sports, fitness and health. It aims to provide a dynamic environment that supports academic excellence in sports, recreation and physical activity through inspired teaching, creative research and meaningful achievements.
Pacquiao has practiced the general learning in Human Kinetics in his quest for glory in the world boxing arena, beating top fighters such as Oscar de la Hoya, Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez.
The theory which was always associated with the usual studying and learning procedures was converted into practical means. And the practical way was transformed into winning forms that makes him the number one boxer of the world.
