Congratulations Manny!

Although, for some reasons I would have preferred to see the Mexicans celebrating, Manny Paquiao made us proud once again. It's not a surprise anymore, we all expected it.

I did not watch the much awaited game. I just waited for friends to text me the results. I could get a copy of the pirated DVD version tommorow, and watch it without having to endure seing SMB's, energy drinks, and pain relievers.

Of course ABS-CBN did their job of blasting the spoiler. That's 5 minutes before millions of Filipino non-pay-per-view viewers could even get to see Karylle singing the national anthem.

The last time I was glued on my seat watching the whole Paquiao match was in 2005. It was fantastic, but the mood was spoiled by some of Manny's cheerers who I wished should have been banned there. I don't wanna see these people behind Manny on TV again:

-A drug lord, womanizer. One of the greatest villains in the history of Philippine politics who tries so hard to be seen on TV, to fit on the TV screen during Manny's pre and post fight interviews from Las Vegas.

-A fat, graft and corruption first king with his protruding belly. Well, that's all our money goes.

-And for God's sake, I don't wanna hear the voice of a tiny but terribly corrupt woman again; who would make a phone call to congratulate Manny live on national (and international) TV, for all the world to hear. How third world is that?

What's the best thing to do while Manny is inside the ring?

Malling...

No (literally) rubbing elbows with Sunday shoppers!

Although all seats in his cinemas are fully reserved,

Henry Sy is not liking this view.

How often do we get to see EDSA like this?

It's like a phenomenon comparable to the Haley's comet. It only happens once every century.

Bayani Fernando should know who's the answer to our traffic problems.

Anyway, CONGRATS Manny! Sana lang hindi ka na tatakbo sa eleksiyon!

Cheers!
