Dynamite & Pacquiao: A score to settle in the near future.

2008-03-17T20:30:00.006+08:00

Fans of Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao rejoiced after winning the championship and was declared the new super feather weight champion of the world.

Was it over? I don't think so.... winning from a split decision made people think that it was not over. Some people think that Marquez should have won and not Pacquiao, the only thing that will satisfy this people is to see another match from both boxing champs.

Several boxing analysts even commented that this event should be investigated for possible foul play. It was a very close fight and I myself cannot blame the judges for their scoring. I had always believe that there was no sense in crying over a spilled milk.

I don't even had the chance to compare who's got a higher hit points. The room was filled with mixed emotions, I was intensely shouting, rejoicing, and punching in the air, enjoying the game with other members of the family and some friends over several bottles of brandy and barbecued chicken.

Just after the winner was announced..... by split decision, I realized with friends agreeing that the story between these vigorous, courageous, and both equally strong boxing champs was not over and has to settle the real score between them in the future.

In my opinion, may it be a knock-out, unanimous or by a split decision, it doesn't matter at all... winning is winning. Cheers to Manny Pacquiao. He now holds championship belts in several boxing divisions.

Manny Pacquiao strips Marquez of his Super Feather weight belt

2008-03-16T22:11:00.013+08:00

Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, the new world super feather weight champion.

Unfinished business resolved. Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao won by split decision... Making Pacquiao the new super feather weight champion of the world. According to several surveys, it says that Pacquiao will bring down Marquez in less than 7 rounds but they were all wrong. Marquez gave Pacquiao difficulty in getting his belt and gave Pacquiao a very tough fight. The game lasted through 12th round with Pacquiao knocking-out Marquez on the third round. Both Marquez and Pacquiao suffered a cut on their eyes.

Judge 1 gave 115-110 in favor of Marquez, Judge 2 giving 115-112 in favor Marquez and Judge 3 giving Pacquiao the winning split decision of 114-113.

One's again, the Philippines had a very low crime rate due to the said event. It was known before until now that every time Pacquiao had a fight, promotes unity and low crime rate all over the Philippine Archipelago for a period of time.

Good fight...Manny.... winning is winning.... may it be a knock-out or split decision.

You are truly our champion.... hurayyyy!

New President?

2008-03-14T08:37:00.006+08:00

I have been reflecting myself about our current President, Administration and present political system... I felt hopelessness.

Would our economy improve, by ousting the president?
I am not pro or anti President GMA, but I don't see any good reason kicking her out of the palace! It's the corrupt persons around her that I am concern about, the same persons that brought her up the presidency.

If she gets ousted, who will take the seat? History will repeat itself, another group of corrupt politicians and with self serving interest businessmen will use another dummy, a person with clean and respectable background and can be manipulated for their self-gaining adventures.

As I see it, It's hopeless until we put the right person suited for presidency, a person that can not be dictated or manipulated and will do anything to serve his country and get rid or at least minimized corruption.

Politicians seems to have detailed informations on others and uses it to make or break another politician or the president herself.

I guess there were several persons who are credible, and wants to stand-up for his country and expose corruptions in the government but were afraid because at the end of the day..... these same persons will always be there, FREE, behind the back of another president.
These politicians knows exactly what is happening. It would be hard to prove because the network of corruption is so vast, that it could lead back to them... backfiring.... the accuser becomes the accused.

Some good, god-fearing, and responsible politicians exerts so much time and effort to make things right and bring justice to all... but not enough, like being rail-roded over-and-over again, maybe because they don't have the number. I am not an expert but on my opinion in any group for instance, the person who had the numbers win. Therefore if the bad persons got the number, it's easy to fry, pressure, delay or worst cover-up when things get on their way.

THERE ARE MORE TO PONDER..... who will be the next possible candidate or president and I ended up saying to myself, what ever happens, whether President GMA gets ousted or not, Do not loose hope, there will come a time that the next possible president WILL SERVE and NOT BE SERVED.

Thus, I pray..... shower us with your guidance, strength, hope, and love. Make each of us an instrument of peace. May our politicians realize that they were to serve the interest of the people and not be served. May they find the need to be a servant and be united in their efforts to make things a better life. Thanks be to god.
