Pac on the cover of TIME MAG

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?
