In Defense For The Filipino

[titleist905t]

Happy New Year Saddoboxing members.

I do not want to make this very long so I will just enumerate a lot of the generalization and false belief that has been going around here for the Filipinos with regards to Manny.

1.) Manny is not treated as God Almighty here in the Philippines - HBO is responsible for this. They make their documentaries so dramatic in 24/7 that the western world is foolish enough to believe. Sells tickets though. Our own media do not worship pac, he has been critisize for gambling, womanizing and embracing politicians.

2.) Are the Filipinos casual boxing fans? Yes and No. Basketball is the most popular sport here in the Philippines as opposed to pool and boxing where Filipinos excel. But we do have an active boxing history straight from the 50's locally and internationally. But ask a young boy what sport he would like to play professionally, the answer 6/10 times will be basketball. Do we know boxing? Of course we do. Do we know basketball? We live it.

3.) Why are we so passionate about Manny? Because he brings joy every now and then to a 3rd world nation where very little positive things are happening. And because he is a Filipino, he is FAMILY. We are a nation filled with a sense of FAMILY and we protect our own maybe blindy sometimes but you have to agree, it's quite nice that a whole nation gets together to watch a boxing fight.

4.) Manny is regarded as a boxer not anything else.
Politician- He lost the first time and will still lose this coming elections.
Actor - Please? I have not seen any of his films, and they do flop.
Singer - OMG.
Humanitarian - Yes he does help, but he is also active in cockfighting which I totally hate.

5.) Our media on Manny - They are fair but cautious. One thing I can say about our media is that they are more concerned with the truth rather than hyping a fight.

6.) Do we believe Manny is on roids? Majority no. It is simply not an opiton here in the Philippines. It is not part of our culture, may it be on public gyms or pro athletes. No Filipino was ever tested for such (as far as I can recall). We may be tested positive for cocaine, shabu or marijuana but never Ped's.

7.) What do I think if Manny is proven a PED's user? I don't care, his accomplishments are not mine. But it sucks though, the boxing world was cheated.

8.) Who are present in Manny's victory parades in the Philippines - People who have nothing better to do and politicians that needs votes.

9.) Am I a Pac hater? NO, Absolutely not. I like the person in the ring. Outside of it, I could'nt care much less.

10.) I hate Violent Demise - he is a racist pig.

Now, for some of the Filipino nuthuggers of Pacquiao who still thinks I am posing as a Filipino. Eto and sa inyo, magpakatotoo kayo, nakakahiya ang ilan sa inyo na walang ginawa kundi pagtanggol si Manny. Alam natin na napaka babaw na rason na takot siya sa blood test. PRIDE lang ni Manny yan, masyado ng lumaki ulo. Kung pumayag siya di na sana magulo pa. Naiintindihan ko na dinidiscriminate tayo dito, dahil na rin sa iba sa atin yan. Masyadong "fanboy" at nakakainis. Kahit ako na pinoy naiinis na.

My new years day rant is over. Now I will go back to my party and drink my ass off.
