In Defense For The Filipino

[generalbulldog]

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 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.

What do you care about what sport we like? We play agaisnt each other. What is the big deal about that? We have 7 foot centers as well. Not all Filipinos are short. We have a lot of American imports here in our local league and they do not dominate anymore, unlike in the 80's where they just kill their Filipino opponents. But, that's not the point of that section so let's leave it at that.

Boxers get in the ring on their own accord as well as MMA fighters. Cockfighting is cruel and inhumane, it's not like it was the chickens choice to travel to the arena and fight another chicken now does it? Again, not the point of that section so let's leave it at that.

P.S. Violent D is still a racist pig.

You guys can like any sport you like, I didn't say anything about not liking what you want.

BTW, Violent D again is not racist! He's just riling people up. The guy has a great sense of humor. He likes Hasegawa which many hardcore boxing fans like, who is you guess it Asian! He even praised the Filipino Marvin Sonsona somewhere here for winning a title at so young an age with only a handful of fights.

He just hates the Pactards who so happens to be mostly Filipinos. And those Pactards really get on people's nerves.
