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 cautios. One thing I can say about our media is that they are more concerned with the truth rather than hyping a fight.
6.) I hate Violent Demise - he is a racist pig.
Basketball players? You guys don't have the required height.
Concentrate more on boxing, you guys have a pretty good history with Flash Elorde, Ceferino Garcia, Pancho Villa, and now Manny Pac.
Violent Demise isn't racist. He's more than likely fed up with the idiot Pac fans whom most are Filipinos that talks trash, he's just trying to rile some people up.
BTW, being an humanitarian and engaging in cock fighting is no big deal. Hell boxing is human cockfighting. Most people don't have a problem with boxing or MMA.
