A Reflection of Manny Pacquiao’s Latest Bout

We all know Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao is a successful pugilist. He had won numerous boxing awards and had earned innumerable millions of pesos. He had countless gung - ho supporters here and abroad. He had himself circumscribed with a handful of full – fledged and “aged-in-oak-barrels” politicians.

Last October 7, our beloved Manny Pacquiao once more showed the world that Filipinos are not to be played around in boxing. He defeated Antonio Barrera with a unanimous decision. He again earned millions of pesos. He surely didn’t forget to utter his “native” language English when interviewed after the fight.

Incidentally, our Vice President was beside him, giving his congratulatory speech when beset by foreign reporters.

After the TV and live broadcast of the bout, our Madame President quickly gave her dignified felicitation to Manny Pacquiao. TV and radio reporters hastily interviewed Pacquiao’s mother and kababayans. Also, police officials furnished their crime reports to the media stating that during the bout, the city was “peaceful” in general.
