Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao has a twin in the Malaysian town of Keningau in the state of Sabah, and he himself has become quite a local celebrity in his village
Pacman's lookalike is 43-year-old Aloysius Taidin, a pepper farmer from Kampung Baru. When his photo first surfaced online, it immediately went viral, with many joking that Pacquiao had quit boxing and instead turned to pepper planting.
Aloysius says that he's also a boxing fan and he only realized that he was a boxing celebrity lookalike six years ago after somebody told him about it.
"I don't know who that stranger was but he kept calling me Manny Pacquiao. After that, he invited me for drinks and we chatted about the boxer," Aloysius says.
Doesn't he look exactly like Manny?

Aloysius said it amuses him every time the villagers call him Pacquiao
"I smile every time I see Pacquiao's picture," he said.
Aloysius is just one among the many who were found to share Manny Pacquiao's recognizable face. Remember Former Muay Thai Champ Knockout CP Freshmart (real name Thammanoon Niyomtrong)? He recently became the WBA Minimumweight world champion, and is another Pacquiao lookalike.
