Can Pacman Finish The Unfinished Business?

2007-12-15T07:21:00.000-08:00

This Filipino Boxing icon Emmanuel "Manny Pacman" Pacquiao created controversy in the sports of Boxing. He created controversy not by trash talking towards his enemy in and out of the ring and definitely not by winning in a controversial judge decision. The much hipe controversy started when this Filipino Boxing Hero displayed his speed and power and the way he destroyed his Mexican victims in the ring with his relentless punching in the name of Eric Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera, and the draw between Juan Manuel Marquez, all these three mexicans has a sure seat into the hall of fame. Other Mexican fighters who became victims of the Pacman are Velasquez, Emmanuel Lucero, Jorge Solis, OscarLarios and other such good fighters Leno Ledwaba, Jorge Eliecer Julio and other big names in boxing.

If you believe me or not, the charismatic trademark smile of the Pacman and the little mustache are additional items that made him a star which captures the heart of millions of Filipinos and other boxing enthusiasts alike, and the way he respond to interviews sometimes it's funny but interesting to hear with his limited English, but still he is humble and is one of the boxing wonder today.

Pacman throws his punches almost 50% more in every rounds against his opponents in the ring, not just an easy punch but a devastating power punches that when it lands it will be felt. I remember one of the boxing commentator from HBO describe Manny as "the storm across the pacific", maybe because of his relentless punching but with speed and he throws it with devastation.

Another controversy that surrounds the boxing world today is that, who is the no.1 pound for pound boxer today. A dispute, who among the two between Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Floyd "Money" Mayweather is the no.1. Boxing fans, boxing organizations, boxing analyst have there own mental representaion and description who really is the no.1 pound for pound boxer today. Anyway I have no idea what are the basis and criteria for being on top for the pound for pound boxer. Mayweather's generalship in the ring like his slickness, a hard target, and of course running and turning his back owns respect to boxing enthusiasts. However on the other hand the Pacmans generalship on the ring is measured through his offense, his offense is his defense, a single punch by his opponent there will be a possible multiple punch answer from him, in boxing excitement, the feeling of lively and cheer trully he is the no.1, people love to watch the Pacman banging his opponents, body shots, toe to toe war in the distance owns a salute to boxing lovers.

Now, with the announcement of Pacman's incoming fight this March 15, 2008 with his second encounter against Juan Manuel Marquez the climate of boxing in the featherweight division started to heat up. If you love boxing forums over the internet, you can now read discussions in the forum like philboxing.com and paclanders website mannypacquiao.ph and many more about this upcoming big fight in Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino on HBO Pay-Per-View." If you have not seen the first fight between these two boxing great please play them right now and see this one of the best fight in boxing. Although the Pacman shock and put Marquez three times over the canvass in the first round, Marquez is definitely not out but bounce back with courage and determination to defend himself, at the end of twelve rounds of vicious exchange of boxing both have disfigured and weary faces that even gesturing a smile is rare for the two.

It's fun joining in boxing forums and it relaxes and relieve you from stress, where fans become the analyst, fans become Madam Auring where they predict the outcome of the fight, fans predict what round an enemy will get knocked out but this fight will be a good fight and interesting to watch. Many people in boxing believe Juan Manuel Marquez is the last man standing in the featherweight division and even Jose Suliman the WBC president suggested that Pacquiao must remove his last obstacle in the featherweight division before moving up to a higher weight and maybe a rumor of future fight with the Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya.

see you next.........

To Err Is Human, To Forgive Divine

To Err Is Human, To Forgive Divine

“After the guilty verdict he was put to prison, a few months later, there was a pardon, now he is the FREE MAN.”

During his shaky presidency, the man who give us hardship in our daily living, midnight cabinet meeting composed of big time pals, the elite mansion collector, the expensive wine lover and drunkard, the leader of gamblers, the macho man behind his women, abuse of power to acquire wealth, amassing billions of pesos in illegal gambling and tobacco excise tax kickbacks, using GSIS and SSS the people’s money to buy stocks shares, corruption after corruption, scandal after scandal, it seems this kind of evil works never ends. Until GOD listen to the voice of the people, until the voice of the people collides and made into one and became a powerful force that even the most powerful and influential person on earth has no power of pushing it back and the only end is fall, together with your strongest barrier.

As one of the million Filipinos who also suffers the hardship to raise my family, I could only stuck and ponders for a moment and ask myself.

Is Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Aroyo has been bestowed the Right to Forgive and Install the Freedom Back to Mr. Estrada?
Did she consult the millions of Filipinos who risked their lives for the EDSA I and II revolution to come up with this decision?

Where is justice? I don’t think justice has been serve, yes, it has not.
Where is the justice of the mostly affected poor people during his presidency who suffers from negative stress of producing food for the family, the stress of educating the children, the stress of finding a job, and most of all the stress to survive.

After all humans thinking and decision making is just limited. The LORD knows everything, sometimes we could say, Is GOD around us? But I remember the song by a man named Gary Valenciano which says “Wag mo sanang akalain natutulog ba ang Diyos. Ang buhay mo ay mayroong halaga sa kanya”.

Yes, the LORD is still there.

Please put comments and you are always welcome. “ The only reason why people don’t hear us, is when we stop communicating either by words or by action.”

The Strategy of False Accusation

2007-10-25T07:53:00.000-07:00

The strategy of false accusation

Setting the minds of the people that he is the man who could change the system of governance, Mr. Trillanes one of the author of Oakwood mutiny , again pointing the fingers to the government as if the master of the Glorietta Mall explosion. Without any single evidence and a single documents to show, Mr. Trillanes is basing his accusation purely on hearsay. Ooops!! It is a wrong judgement Mr. Trillanes.

The fact that he is one of the leader during the Oakwood mutiny which is devastating to the Philippines economy, driving the investors away and making poor Filipinos at bay. What Mr. Trillanes did is a clear indication for greed of power and it never justifies for whatever reasons in his mind. Ooops!! It is a wrong judgement Mr. Trillanes.

Now that you became a senator, show to the Filipino people a sample of your system that could do better than the present administration. Give as blink of your imagination a governance which is pro people, picture to us your system that could alleviate the lives of your countrymen, a better system that could eliminate the rust of corruption.

Mr. Trillanes is only igniting another tension without proof for the purpose of public show. He is the same as some senators who love to say malicious statements in public media. Mr. Trillanes claimed he has information from his own network regarding the Glorietta explosion. But what kind of network he has? A network of “tsismis?.

Why not let those investigating body such as the FBI and the Australian Federal complete its finding? Would it not be better to wait the investigation report before we open our mouth? False minded person always result to bad impression and Trillanes is another new breed of TRAPO.

Nagkamali Rin

2007-09-19T15:42:00.000-07:00

Sa Palagay ko, masakit sa dibdib ni Jose de Venecia III na hindi niya napanalunan ang contract sa broadband. Ang tanong bakit siya kasali sa bidding ng gobyerno? di ba anak siya ni Jose de Venecia Jr? Kung hindi lang sila nagka onsehan, baka hindi rin natin alam na itong mga taong to, kasali pa rin sa mga malalaking project sa gobyerno at ang mga Pilipino ay walang malay.

Di ba dapat ma subpoena rin si Jose de Venecia III? Illegal ang ginawa nila at alam na rin nang mga tao na hatak parin ang corruption.

Alam ko na manipesto na naman ito ng mga oposisyon. Kahit anong gagawing pa sa oposisyon, kitang kita na ang economic growth sa leadership ni Gloria.

Hoy Mga Oposisyon, ano na naman ang susunod ninyon gagawin?

SALUDO KAMI KANINYO

2007-09-12T12:54:00.000-07:00

Dili na gyud ikalimod sa kadaghanan nga sad-an si kanhi Presindente Joseph Estrada sa iyang pagpanglimbong sa mga Pilipino. Ako naka dayeg sa gipakitang kaisog sa mga testigos o mga saksi bisan pa man ug nag atubang ug kakuyaw ang ilang mga kinabuhi ug sa ilang mga gimahal. Sila mitestigo batok sa kanhi Presidente ug sa iyang mga kauban sa pagpangabusar sa gahum nga gihatag kaniya sa katawhan.

Saludo Kami Kaninyo..
Maria Carmencita Itchon, Emma B. Lim, Gov. Luis Chavit Singson, Emma Avila Gonzales, Antonio Martin Sagritalo, Fortuno, Aida Tuazon Basaliso, Atty. Cecilio Alejandro Villanueva, Marianito Manigbas Dimaandal ug uban pang mga kaubanan sa mga testigos.

IF NOT FOR THE ENVELOPE.....

2007-09-12T11:26:00.000-07:00

Kung hindi dahil sa envelope na hindi pinabuksan sa mga abogado ni Erap noong nag imbestiga ang Senado , malamang lalong naghihirap tayo ngayon. Dahil sa envelope na yun napatalsik si Erap.

So, what can I say? "HAIL TO THE SANDIGANBAYAN AND TO ALL BRAVE WITNESSES AND TO ALL FILIPINOS WHO JOINED TO FIGHT FOR JUSTICE, RESPECT, DIGNITY, and FREEDOM" . Ngayon napapatunayan na naman sa mga Pilipino sa buong Mundo na tama ang disisyon na lumabas sa kanilang tahanan sa gabing iyon na hindi pinabuksan ang envelope, napatunayan na nagkasala ang dating Presidente, napatunayan na winawaldas niya ang pera ng bayan, napatunayan na nagpayaman siya sa kanyang sarili at sa kanyang mga kaalyado.

TO ALL THE FILIPINO PEOPLE WE MUST BE PROUD FOR JUSTICE IS STILL ALIVE IN OUT COUNTRY. THANK YOU.

LESSON and JUSTICE

2007-09-12T10:50:00.000-07:00

The guilty verdict by the Sandiganbayan on former Philippine President Josepht Estrada will serve as a lesson to those corrupt officials in the goverment. The sufferings of the Filipinos during Mr. Joseph Estrada's legacy is totally unlikely. While more Filipinos have been drag to poverty, Mr. Estrada enjoys the daily festivity with his inner circle midnight cabinet.

While every person deserves to be respected either an ordinary man or you are a bigwig, Mr. Estrada should be put to the proper cell and not to his home town mansion for what they term as "House Arrest".

If he stays in house arrest I would consider it still an injustice for the Filipinos, but if he will be put in the proper cell then justice is serve.

In The Negotiating Table

It's a good news for every Filipino specially people in Mindanao where the Government of the Philippines open its book to a peaceful negotiation pact with the MILF rebels. The conflict to some parts in Mindanao affected the lives of our ordinary kababayan, including their livelihood, education and infracture improvement.

There is another reported new battle between the government forces against the labelled terror group the abu sayyaf. The terror group has been reported to have engaged another beheading to the government soldiers which they ambush a few days ago. Not one but fourteen soldiers were beheaded, and this is a gruesome act. When will this end this kind of barbaric act? Are this group blood thirsty? Are they being psychologically trained to kill? How many lives will end up to this brutal killing if this terror group not put to an end.
