Pac on the cover of TIME MAG

[happytrip]

I remember during the first Filipino PEOPLE POWER,then President Cory Aquino was on the cover page of TIME MAGAZINE.That one made me proud cos Pres Cory then was a symbol of peace and democracy worldwide.The magnitude of Pres Cory's doings were encompassing.On the other hand ;boxing is only a sport.

This thing of MANNY on the cover of TIME MAG is an insult to the present administration of the Philippine govt.I guess only Filipinos comprehend what im driving at.

I'm happy that Time Magazine put Pac in their cover. I'm not convinced that there's any Filipino more worthy than Pac in the time magazine as of the moment.

You talk of people from Politics more deserving than Pac? I guess, you're not really Filipino ( or not living in the Philippines) coz if you are, you'd never mention politics.

I can't think of any Filipino who has made a buzz in the international community as much as Pac. If you know someone, please educate me.

Pac deserved it whether you're happy or not. FACT.

I may be wrong about mentioning politics as an area where we excel right now.But there are promising politicians in the horizon.I wont name them now,cos i might be wronged again.On the topic of Pacquiao in the cover of TIMES magazine;it is your prerogative to have such a point of view.But for myself,i rather not see Manny on the cover of the said mag.

I want the Philippines to be recognized in such other culturally and intelectual aspect.We are now known as the country of maids,do you still want us to be known as a country of boxers?Im not saying MANNY is not reputable,i am talking of boxing in its entirety.

I hope you dont get me wrong.I am living in the Philippines right now.

So there are promising politicians, I agree with that but the question is, are they more deserving that Pacquiao?

Pacquaio gives HOPE to many Filipinos and that is why TIME honored him.

Yes we are known as a country of maids and servants but boxing is different. It's a sport. It's like when an athlete win gold in the olympics, that athlete's country rejoices with him.

When Phelps won 8 golds in the Olympics, his country was proud of it. With Pac in the cover of Time because of his accomplishments as an athlete, why can't you also be proud of it?

I want to know exactly what kind of HOPE are we talking here.Maybe you are referring to a temporary HOPE,cos when Manny wins ,Pinoys are happy.Well this kind of hope can help us ,but not on a permanent basis.When EX PRESIDENT Cory Aquino was in the cover of TIME mag,she was a symbol of freedom for Pinoys.That one would make me proud.Why?
Because of its national significance and it made a mark in the lives of the greater number of Filipinos.

I am proud of Manny's boxing accomplishments,whose not btw?

Don't be daft!

Pacquiao's message is clear. Work hard, sacrifice and believe in God and you can achieve all that you want. He says it every time he fights and dedicates his fight to the Filipino people. The hope is that you can win over adversity the way Pacquiao has done in the ring. It is symbolic and part of what makes him an Icon for the people.

Yeah, the present administration needs to be insulted and Time Magazine did it well.

The administration of Gloria is full of scandals and corruption and it's TIME that it be insulted. I just don't know if Gloria still feels some shame coz the way i see it, she's already callous when it comes to insult. I also guess that only real Filipinos know what I'm talking about.

I was just going to say: isn't the present Filipino government, much like the preceding ones, wracked by massive corruption?
