I have lived in UK more than where I was born (in the Philippines), but remain loyal to my own kababayan. I am very proud for the success/victory of Manny Pacquiao. He has put the Philippines back to history for all to see/read.

Mayweather said that he is better than The Pacman and he should get a bigger slice of the pie which is 65%. How about this suggestion, whoever wins will get 65% and the loser gets the rest..How about that?

To Tagaguhit. Professionals natin for export para lang maglinis ng inidoro at maghugas ng pw*t ng puti at hapon. We export beauties AS WELL just to be Japayukies. Filipino DH everywhere. Ang Koreano, Saudis, puti, Hapon at halos kahit sinong foreigner pag nasa pinas amo. Buti pa mga Hapon at Koreano pag nasa english speaking countries iniintindi bcoz they are really respected. Hi-tech jap cars in many countries. Umuwi ka sa sa bansa natin, puro basura, maraming gutom. At kahit ilang belt pa iuwi ni pacquiao. Pinoy still laborer status sa mundo. Ang kailangan natin tunay na magpapataas ng antas sa buhay sa bawat Filipino. I cannot be proud with 11m OFWs (mostly laborers) against one Manny Pacquiao.

Manny, Ikaw na nga sugo ng panginoon, wala ng iba pa. Para umulad ang bayang Pilipinas at mapabuti ang buhay ng mahihirap na Pinoy. Kung sa boxing nagtagujpay ka segurado ako sa politika kaya mo rin tuparin ang pangarap mo maging presidente dahil may tiwala ka sa panginoon at may damdamin para sa mahirap, kaya mo rin itaguyod ang bansang Pilipino. The future of the Philippines lies in your bright mind, good heart and strong hands able to implement a government programs that can encourage all Filipinos to invest in science and technology in order to become a strong and rich country.

A president Pacman has charisma, talent, character, and money. He's famous and admired pound for pound by all, very talented, who equaled Ali, very rich, who rose from zero to hero, and very strong character, who will not cheat, steal, or lie. A perfect specimen of an honest leader who can establish justice, ensure tranquility, promote the general welfare to his people and country. He will not steal since he has plenty of money, will not lie as a hero, will not cheat since honesty made him a champ. Pres. Pacman is Pinas savior and deliverer. Don't fall into a knee-jerk reaction that only college grad can be president.

In the boxing world, the champ is sitting on top of the heap. He is it. He it is the boxing world is talking about. All other boxers are beholding, except insolent has been, like mega mouth Floyd the the weather bane. He'll get his comeuppance in due time. We know all too well Chavit Singson had been hanging around Pacman. Now, Pacman also has a kabit, who he flew to Las Vegas to watch him win his 7th crown. Remember Pacman siding with Singson after Singson beat up his ex girl friend? This triangle does not bode well for the champ, ethically, religiously, publicly, politically, socially, internationally. Unless the champ wakes up and see the damage the Singson influence is doing to him, and patch things up with his wife, it'll be cold time in hell showing in his palm.

The champ will receive his accolade and ovation when he lands back in the good RP, as the greatest athlete the country ever produced, and rightly so. But lurking in the background is a question mark on his young man's indiscretion of flying a Kabit and her family to watch him clench his 7th boxing division crown. Is this his Achiles heel? PGMA did not watch the fight, being she was busy with world affairs on Obama's East Asia trek. Somehow, I feel a chill in the air. Did you notice, the Champ did not hug his wife after the fight. Something ain't right.

PI media is really rotten! They want to make money out of Pacman's expense. They are the ones actually destroying Pacman and his wife. Ultimately, if Jinkee rides with the media play, she and her family have lots to loose here. Pinoys need to understand, they don't own Pacman now, the whole world does. No matter what mud they throw at him, the rest of the world will still embrace him. He can migrate to US if Pinoys are not going to treat him well. Then you loose whatever is left with your pride, again. Don't stop shooting yourself at the foot, until you cannot even walk, much less run!

Manny Beware ! Ang kalawang mismo ang sumisira sa sarili... Ang mabahong simoy ay mahirap ikubli. Why opt for a used dilapidated car (Krista, an actress to boot, yak), when you can buy a brand new one (a Ferrari or an Aston Martin), where you can be proud to display it. This devil girl is only using you, dude. Don't be foolish, specially if you want to enter politics. We have great faith in you, you can do better. Good luck !!!

Pacman is the biggest thing in the Pinas since Elorde. Hope hindi nya iwawaldas ang pera because good times will end sometime. Floyd keeps on saying that he is the best. The only way to prove it is to fight and whatever t the proceeds is be divided equally. If he want 65/35 that is 65% for the winner.

|BIR EXANINER| Your estimate of Wowee host, Willie Revillame, is overblown. A 120 foot tri-deck cruiser yacht (1995) sells for around $8 million . Your valuation is way off. Only oil sheiks could afford a $200 million yacht. Your valuation is an exaggeration. It is a continent away from reality. If it is an accurate estimate, then, Willie could park his yacht in Monaco.

\MOCKINGMAN| The ignorance of a man is measured by restating the obvious for he has nothing more to add to a valid statement. Everyone knows that no matter what an elective official is guilty of, removal from office is either conviction in court or impeachment by Congress (for president and justices of the supreme court). I can look in the mirror and see the face a knowledgeable man! What do you see in the mirror?

Edward: Not so sure if you doled out that poor $20 bill largesse out of genuine concern for charity. Thanks anyway. My way of giving is to keep it to myself as much as possible. I know no amount of gold or silver can satisfy the poorest or richest among us but a $20 bill can at least buy a ganta of rice and some change. And if you believe, only God gives us the true worth for even our most miserly handouts. But, you sounded like you gave only to shame others. And to pat your own back and used it, no doubt, just to rise above others. You also gave because you can use the full $20 as a tax deduction. In other words, you release the money to the least of your brethren but with a heavy heart. Crafty, but cheap. You already had your reward for this dastardly act for vengeance on Filipinos.

You do not need to emphasize "CORRUPTION" when you write about Pacquiao, Charice, Arnel, etc, because we, the media, the voters, the Filipino people are condoning it. The media is blind, the voters sell their rights, the Filipino people buy influence. You should emphasize change in our behaviour and thinking.

Alphabet Man: PI political soundings are often clear and obvious. One need not guess/ponder who always will be in the over-bloodied and much-muddied arena but only for greed and profiteering. A politically-enriched billionaire like Marcos, in his time, would not stop amassing more wealth at the expense of an impoverished populace. Whoever is prodding and urging the Pacman to run has/have some hidden agenda aside from good intent. A pugilist can never be a politician much less a barrister overnight- a serious credential for such an office. Packaging and commercializing him to be unanimously accepted and prematurely catapulted to such a position is another invitation for trouble. I suggest instead for him to start a no-strings attached sort of "boys town" like the late Fr. Flanagan did.

Even in contemporary politics, corrupt politicians think that censors are needed to prevent the diffusion of unauthorized doctrines. But what constitutes authorized speech? Aren't you free to be outspoken & defiant against institutionalized corrupt political regime? What does it mean by "inalienable rights" in your adopted country? Does it include the freedom to write, speak, & think? You've every right not to read my comments.

But most developed & even developing countries today have a tendency to recognize that nuclear weapons are a key to national security & prestige around the globe.

I don't harass any critic & you've the right to feel humiliated if you're willing to sell your fundamental rights to a rogue elephant. Remember, a scholar once said that "It's not men in general who think, or even isolated individual who do the thinking, but men in certain groups who have developed a particular style of thought...Strictly speaking it's correct to say that a single individual thinks. Rather it's correct to insist that he participates in thinking further other men have thought before him." Figure it out for yourself before you react to an ordinary critic.

I am not sure what constitutes elitism or what does it mean to be rich? My grandparents were landed & may be rich but lost everything after WW2. Mismanagement or lacked of influence may be the reasons. But I do believe that you can't engage in land grabbing or confiscating private property from the poor and give them to some corrupt political elites who dominated Congress to protect thier economic interests. As I underscored, the Filipino voters have always the power in their hands to change the rotten political system of the Arroyo regime.

I am sorry to disagree when you argued that boxing is for the dummies. There're contemporary sports that can be considered as a modern gladiator. If Pacman's craft is for the dummy (as other critics claimed), then, "The Art Of War" can also be considered for the beasts. Some mercenaries were barbarians employed by despots, dictators, & imperialists of the past.

Matinde & co, kindly enjoy your stay over there. Anyway, thanks for that short jab. I too rejected the idea of drinking the local brew. I also said "no" when they used just one glass for everybody to quaff. Also the bad habit of Pinoys not washing their hands after peeing in the bushes behind the house & then trying hard to find the best morsel in the pulutan. Judging from your posts you must be from the south. Laguna or Quezon perhaps? Too bad kabayan kanduli is now practically extinct cuz of the pollution in Laguna de Bay. Even the tawilis in Taal is also on the list. Don't forget to buy kaping barako in paper bags along the street stalls in Tagaytay. Beats Starbuck. Also, buy the wife pearls from Jolo, black variety if possible, from Greenhills. Bon voyage mon ami.

I love Manny and his humbleness but these Arroyos and chavit are always with him in his fight. Nakasukang makita.

Dear TonyO, Now that you asked, the jig is up. No more funning. I explain. BIR erred. Taxing incomes derived from political supplies and services provided by sources sounds plausible, like "sounds good. Let's do it." Until you realized the suppliers wizened, and are now donating supplies services gratis, pro bono, therefore no income to tax. Payments may actually transpired before or after, but you must first catch and prove your case. The skinny, forget it. Exercise in futility.

Corruption is pervasive among public servants in the Philippines because there is no moral "traffic light" to tell people when to stop on "red", when to proceed on "green" and when to go cautious on "yellow".. There is no traffic cop to issue summonses for violations. When the leader of the country does not have the "testicular fortitude" to enforce anti-corruption laws (for fear of self-incrimination), it tarnishes the image of the country in the eyes of its neighbors.

Another, speak less but only meaningful words and more actions that produce beneficial results. One need not perform the 7 Herculean labors nor proudly reveal trivial and passing knowledge if only for momentary selfish thrills in order to become a hero. The man himself is not the true hero, but the exceptional qualities and traits embodied within that transcends the grounded and ordinary pursuits pre-occupying everyone's survival-oriented mindset.

In the most recent Pulse Asia Survey on voters preference for president, Noynoy is running 2.3 times ahead of Manny Villar of the Nacionalista Party. Given this situation, Villar has to withdraw billion of pesos from his bank account (he being the riches senator) to overcome Aquino's lead. There will be a lot of money thrown in circulation once the official campaign period begins. Inflation is waiting patiently! As for ERAP, he has to sell whatever assets he has to support his presidential bid. His former donors have already found a younger horse to put their bet on. His access to jueteng money is no longer there and Chavit is no longer his friend!

Critics bywords: freedom (or liberti), peace, revolution, truth, feminism, nationalism, and so on. There're thousands & maybe millions of people who espoused the views of liberal & free-loving people around the world. There's no single & absolute mechanism to comprehend the world.

Dragonfly: I do believe that there's a risk in scholarship or learning. Rottensense/PPgwapito7/One Up/ claimed themselves as scholars with 1.0 GPA=5.0 Western standard. In any colleges there is no such thing as indoctrination, & views contrary to free play of ideas will be exposed. And you don't need to be a singkolar not to recognize such indoctrinated ignorance anywhere when it appears. Of course, humility is an attribute of a true scholar. And I don't believe that PPGwapito/Rottensense/One Up/ are scholars wearing a "badge of honor" from their Alma Mater. They're considered as authoritarian demagogues, who lacked humility. Pacman may not be an academic scholar, but he has the virtue of a great warrior (or mandirigma), which is, humility.
