Pac on the cover of TIME MAG

[happytrip]

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.

A great number of the Filipinos work hard,sacrifice,and believe in GOD.Manny can only be symbolic with his words.This is my opinion....
