Friday, March 7. 2008'Saludo sa Pambansang Kamao'
LOS ANGELES - Manny Pacquiao proved once again that he is the hottest thing in boxing, at least in this part of the world.
American, Mexican and Filipino media practitioners squeezed themselves in the now famous Wildcard Gym along Vine and Hollywood just to catch a glimpse of the Pinoy phenomenon. After watching Pacquiao go through his media day workout, I cornered prominent boxing personalities from this part of town and got their thoughts on “Manny Pacquiao: The man and the fighter.” Larry Pugmire, Staff Writer, Los Angeles Times “Pacquiao is a cultural phenomenon. It’s his humble nature that makes him appealing, and if you add to that his charismatic style and his boxing skills, the fans just love it." Henry Bidol, Mexican Writer for boxingstar.net “He is a humble guy. No matter what race you’re from, he always treats you the same. He is he humblest person I have met.” Larry Walker, Regional Manager, HBO Pay per View “Manny is a genuine good person. The way he treats people around him just really makes you want to root for him.” Bob Arum, CEO, Top Rank Promotions “When Pacquiao fights Filipinos realize that all these political strife is nonsense. What is important is for every Filipino to get behind Manny, who carries our banner.” Hearing these comments just made me realize that despite all his faults, Manny Pacquiao continues to provide a breath of fresh air to our politically-torn country.

hey chino, do you read your papa's columns ??
Last Sunday's column, he referred to the poor as "tebercular, dog-hungry scavengers" .... all the while, criticizing manny's performance and predicting his demise and decline... ang kakapal ng mukha nyo.... wag sana kayo matulad sa mga "tubercular, dog-hungry scanvengers"... even though you deserve it !!

Para sa yo bro wag ka masyado maiingitin. you should know how pacquiao trained and sacrifice his family everytime na me laban siya. dapat sa yo tinatakwil bilang Filipino at tinatapon sa mexico kasi dun sobra mayayabang ang tao di marunong tumanggap ng pagkatalo! GO PAreng Manny wa mo intindihin ang mga distructor mo filipino pa naman sila nakakahiya sila! Manny keep up the good work hindi ako at ng buong pamilya ko naniniwala na mayabang ka na!!!

A call to all US based Pacquiao fans
We all know by now that our prized fighter Manny Pacquiao is all set to slug out his “unfinished business” with Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez on March 15 in Las Vegas. And, we also know that that thousands of kababayans – with a sprinkle of Filipino politicians of course - will surely troop to the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino to witness the fight live. Now here’s an idea. If you’re a Filipino and you are going to be there among the throngs of Filipino fans to cheer for our “Pambansang Kamao,” why not bring along with you placards and streamers that call for the truth behind the stinking NBN-ZTE deal and the resignation or ouster of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo? And aside from the usual “Go Manny!” chants, why not fill the jam packed arena with Oust Gloria calls? I am sure your calls would certainly reverberate in the entire Philippines whose lives usually grinds to a halt every time Pacquiao does his thing in the boxing ring. But it would ring loudest within the heavily guarded Malacanang Palace. This impressive display of unity among Filipinos would show the whole world that even our overseas based compatriots are fed up of being lied at and duped time and again by the corrupt and morally bankrupt Arroyo regime. It would also show that the Filipino peoples’ demand for Arroyo’s resignation or ouster has gone international. I wonder how the First Gentleman and his entourage of politicians with deep pockets would react if they were in the same arena hearing the loud anti-Arroyo and pro-truth chants of Filipinos in the fight venue.

Go for the Kill.. Manny!
PacMan... being humble is more of a success as the sayn' goes Blessed are those who humble thy selves.
Apparently this is a 2 to 1 advantage. If Marquez becomes aggressive he's over in 2nd round for sure. Manny becomes stronger and better at his prime. The last 2 fight of Manny is not impresssive becoz he wanted it to last long. He's controlling the tempo. But now im sure he wont make things easy. GOod Luck Pacman show us the best you can give. cebUanO rockz.

Manny,
Ngayon mo higit na dapat patunayan na kaya mong patumbahin si Marquez at ipanalo ang laban para sa ating bansa. Nagyon lang ata mawalan ng rally at ang pugtutuunan ng pansin at panahon ay ang iyong laban. Good luck and God Bless .. From, Avid fan (*word*)

Manny Congratulation !!!! You trained so hard on this fight and we believe that you truly win inspite of the allegations and rumors na di ka daw dapat manolo coz Marquez landed more punches than you... Wag mo sila pansinin just continue to focus on your boxing career and dont forget your friends and family who prayed so hard during your fight...
Good luck on your next fight !!! Mabuhay ka kababayan .... From your supporters in Cebu Great Fight and a Great Fighter. Manny would definitely be a legend in the boxing arena and international contact sports! Keep it up!

Magaling si Pacquiao tantyado ang laban Hindi lumalayo sa isa o dalawang puntos sa bawat round, Swerte si Marquez dahil mabait at marunong magbigay si Paquiao hindi sya sinalbahe ni Pacquiao, Dahil Ang Kampo ni Marquez Hawak ng isang sindikatong Mafiosi ng Mexico, May Harashment na nangyari dyan dahil hindi ganyan maglaro si Manny likas lang na Matapang si Pacquiao pinag bigyan nya Para hindi halata isang puntos lang ang lamang nya, dahil nung tinanong sya ni Larry merchant ang sagot nya I "THINK" i win the figth, So hindi sya sigurado dahil nung unang laban nila ni Marquez Tatlong Beses bumagsak si Marquez draw ang Desisyon, So ang expectation ni Manny talo sya, So Malinis Ang laro walang masasabi yung Sindikato sa kanya, nanalo sya sa split Desisyon. Ang boksing ay isa sa Pinakmaruming laro sa Buong mundo.
Mabuhay si MANNY PACQUIAO talagang totoong Pinaghirapan ni Manny Pacqiao ang Mga MILYONES nya, Bilib ako sa Prinsipyo ng Taong yan, kung ikukumpara natin sa mga Pulitikong yumaman dahil sa pangungulimbat ng Kaban ng Bayan, pinagyayabang pa yung kanilang ninakaw,My goodness anong klaseng mga Tao yan. Pawis,dugo sakripisyo Pananampalataya sa Poong may Kapal ang Puhunan ng isang Boksingero, Para Maging kampyon ka ng Buong mundo Hindi basta bastang Trabaho Yan. Manny binabati kita sa iyong KADAKILAAN Mabuhay ang mga taong katulad mo. Mabuhay ang MASANG PILIPINAS. IBAGSAK ang mga Mga MAGNANAKAW ng Kaban ng BAYAN.

Lalo na ang mga sports analyst na panay ang comments...Hindi ba nila naisip at di pa ba sapat sa kanila ang Ginawa mo at Gagawin pa para sa Bansang Pilipinas...Sa dami ng sugat na natamo mo na halos pumikit ang mata mo sa pakikipaglaban kay Marquez..Pero anjan ka pa rin at nakatayo para sa Pilipino...Hindi ba nila naisip na pano kung nagkabaliktad ang sitwasyon at nangyari..na kung si Marquez naman ang napaburan at nanalo..Anong magiging Comments nila??? Isa lang ang dapat nating isaisip "ANG TAGUMPAY NG PAMBANSANG KAMAO..TAGUMPAY NG BAWAT PILIPINO!!!" Again, MABUHAY KA MANNY..MANY..MONEY!!!!

Boxing ang labanan pag bumagsak ka medyo tagilid ka na, kahit pa nakatapos ng 12 round c marquez wag na siyang maghabol na sya pa ang manalo. tsaka nung 1st fight nila c Pacquiao naman ang nadaya kaya tangapin na nila... Ewan ko nga ba sa mga boxing expert natin parang cla pa ang nagdududa sa panalo ni manny (ANO BA KAYO).... One thing pa sana nxt time na may laban ulet c manny dapat d na GMA 7 ang mag air kc hinahapon na, d namn ganyan dati. Manny mag Free lancer ka na lang para d ka hawak ng GMA 7.....D ako maka ABS CBN Ha.. talagang mali lang ang airing ng laban ni manny sa GMA 7..

Panalo si Manny P. sa Boxing Championship figth ni JM Marquez Kaya lang natalo sya sa Pustahan dahil pumusta sya kay Marquez. Si Barera nanalo dahil pumusta sya kay Pacman under world offer Boxing Hustling gambler Mandalay Bay Las Vegas, the name of the game "HUSTLING"

bro panalo talaga si pacquiao, pero my comment is geared more on chino trinidads comments during the fight with marquez. Asar ka Chini, have you heard of the saying "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all"? you did bad chino during your comments. you should have kept your mouth shut. we were watching the fight and you were comparing points with donaires? how odd? you were more of a destruction than a commentator during the fight. whats more, your comments on the fight wwas so negative on our filipino champ. you may have your own opinion but i don't share your opinion, to me manny pacquiao won. it's so disappointing to hear you say bad comments which in turn influence others to go the same direction to your opinion. you should have kept your opinion to yourself, men... are you mexican? the fight was close and judges judge fight on how they see things, and when they decide its over and done with, just like when pacquiao got a draw on the 1st fight with marquez, when we all know pacquiao should have won. i'm so disappointed with you and your dad? next time, think before you make comments, not everyone shares your opinion. you are not the one fighting on the ring, you were just one of the person watching, and for the others like us, pacquiao did us proud.
Everyone may have their opinion, and so I’m voicing out mine. Others may have a different opinion on pacquiao, from what I hear from some people, their negative comments roots from their envy from a high earning fighter like pacquiao. Others feel like pacquiao is getting cocky but all that aside, what is at stake is bigger than pacquiao. He represents the our nation to the world, if not him, who else has the talent, the guts and the will to carry that banner? Anyone? It’s a pride of the Filipinos is what he carries in his shoulder, something beyond personal. The extras are but rewards sor something he earned to make it on top.

Pacquiao is a hero to all no doubt about it. He is a role model to our young people who wants to achieve a dream. Bad thing about pacquiao he is surrounded by opportunistic politician. Watch your million dollars manny baka maglaho sa mga gaway ng mga ito.
For the 3 boxing analyst of the Philippines namely Mr. Ed Tolentino, Recah Trinidad and hindi naman talaga tunay na Filipino na parang Bombay or pakistan,Next time Observed Professionalism very carefully and respect and honor the judgement of the judges in any sports.
Talaga bang nasa matinong pag-iisip itong c Mr. Tolentino kc yung bases nya during the interview sa kanya ng GMA 7 "hindi ma i pinta yung mukha ni Manny daw"ay nako pati b anman sa mundo ng sport ala na rin tayo mapiling matinong tao? tapos si Mr Recah Trinidad naman " Dapat may Investigation Daw? That's USA not Philippines ginagawa mo parang Senate of The Republic of the Philippines.Wala na ipagmamalaki ung PHilippines except Manny P.Next time be a Gentlemen....Naway mag Hari sa mga isipan nyo ang katalinuhan Ni Lord.
