Glorious Triumph
ok, I confess..
I’m not into sports, what more into boxing.. I always find it a waste of time. I’d rather read a book..
BUT
When it comes to another International Victory for us Filipinos, adding being in a hotel suite full of 15 relatives watching it, I couldn’t resist but join in the noisy fun. lol..
So blow by blow we watched. Round by round the tension grows.. until finally, ROUND 10, a knockout. And its a TKO.
Yes, Manny “Pacman” Paquiao won the fight against Eric “El Terrible” Morales of Mexico.
It was their second encounter and this time, no cheating (as for the former there were rumors of an obvious scoring bias) Oh well, as my aunties scream.. “Cge! Lumuhod ka ngayon, Morales!” (Yes! Go down on your knees this time, Morales!)
Yeah and as a simultaneous scream.. it felt like the whole building cheered! even the whole country did too!
And if thats not enough for one Glorious Victory, listen.. as news came that Jimrex Raca won on the First Round against the boxing champ of Dominican Republic!
Go Pinoy!
It only shows how us, Filipinos, can withstand the hardest challenge with confidence and determination. We don’t rely on luck.. we make Luck work for us!

I actually watched the match. It was a good one. All Pinas station was broadcasting these show - even The Buzz got their VIP interview by who-is-that-stupid-lady btw? So yeah, I’ve watched the re-run. Another Victory to be the talk-of-the-month all over Pinas.
I also heard about the recent matched, binayaran daw si PACMAN?
Aha!

it’s so sad to hear how people would say anything to diminish the credebility of a person. well if you really watched it btw, you’ll see how the fight went. Morales kneeled twice in that last round and had 3 times almost falling down in the other rounds, twice caught by the rope, one saved by the bell.
anyway, what i heard is some of the money will be for politics! tssk…
