An honorary degree[1] or a degree honoris causa (Latin: 'for the sake of the honour') is an academic degree for which a university (or other degree-awarding institution) has waived the usual requirements (such as matriculation, residence, study and the passing of examinations). The degree itself is typically a doctorate or, less commonly, a master's degree, and may be awarded to someone who has no prior connection with the institution in question.
Usually the degree is conferred as a way of honoring a distinguished visitor's contributions to a specific field, or to society in general. The university often derives benefits by association with the person in question.

not exactly a high iq but has made a contribution to knowledge, to the particular field that he was conferred on. No doubt, pacquiao has contributed so much to Philippine Pride and boxing - so give him an award due to the field, not an honorary doctorate in humanities.
mosugot kaha ng mga ateneans, dilimanians, lasallians nga mohatag ug honorary doctorate niya? i do not know, but i really really doubt it.
human kinetics would have been a little acceptable, but humanities?
murag wala nay say say ang pangan nga "Doctor" "honoris causa" or not. when doctorates become cheap.
