Mansueto "Onyok" Velasco Jr. (born January 10, 1974) is a Filipino retired boxer, comedian and actor from Bago, Negros Occidental. Competing in the 48 kg category he won a gold medal at the 1994 Asian Games and a silver at the 1996 Summer Olympics, the Philippines' only medal at those Games.

Acting career
Velasco retired from boxing due to lack of government support and pursued an acting career, stating that he found it more financially sustainable.[2] His life and boxing career was featured in the 1997 film The Onyok Velasco Story, where he played himself. This marked his first venture into acting.[3][4]
Velasco later had a successful career as a comedian, appearing in several sitcoms and comedy films, including Show Me Da Manny on GMA 7.[5] He also played the role of a boxing trainer on the TV5 comedy-drama Beki Boxer.[6][7]
Unfulfilled incentives
For his feat in the 1996 Summer Olympics, he received pledges of monetary and non-monetary incentives. He was able to receive Template:Philippine peso from then-Manila Mayor Mel Lopez and Template:Philippine peso from the Philippine Sports Commission. However, not all of these pledges materialized as of 2021 including a Template:Philippine peso pledge by the House of Representatives in 1996 and the title for the house and lot he received.[8][9]
