There were only three modern-day Filipinos worthy of representing the country in the world’s hall of noble people: Carlos P. Romulo, Cory Aquino and Manny Pacquiao.
This was the honest belief of sportsman Rudy Salud, an accomplished lawyer and sharp reader of character.
The other day, Salud, who crafted the constitution and by-laws of the World Boxing Council as that organization’s founding secretary-general, said Pacquiao was hardly noble in his dealings with the television network he had originally contracted to air his fights, mainly the next big one against Ricky Hatton in May.
But Salud said it’s still worth keeping Pacquiao in the list of truly noble people for the “glory he has brought to our country with his boxing prowess.”
* * *
Just the same, Salud said Pacquiao may have to be assessed a demerit after he failed to honor his unwritten pact with the Filipino people.
No, this pact was not like the one which Pacquiao had tried to dishonor last week.
This contract says that, as a national treasure, Pacquiao has a duty to protect his character and the image of poor Filipinos, which he represents on the international stage.
For the record, Pacquiao, has since mercifully restored the pact he had rescinded with Solar Sports.
He had also asked forgiveness and was, in fact, ready to be forgiven.
* * *
However, in another selfish twist, Pacquiao made matters worse.
He refused to own up to the act and instead accused ABS-CBN as the culprit behind his misdemeanor.
ABS-CBN has clearly demonstrated to the public that it was not at fault, thereby exposing Pacquiao to ridicule.
Now, regarding Pacquiao’s pact with his poor kababayans (countrymen), it goes without saying that the world boxing icon has also been made the depository of the poor Pinoys’ sagging aspirations.
Our countrymen, naturally, could not bear to see Pacquiao, their Temple of Hope, suffer an unexpected fall in full view of the world.
* * *
There have been cries of despair over Pacquiao’s sad fate.
TED TIU: A good name, say the Proverbs, is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold. How can people be so GREEDY?
GREGORIO BULATAO: Pacquiao lost the loyalty of fans due to his tarnished integrity—the same fate hounding his most maligned endorser in the Palace by the Pasig.
JOSEPH DUMUK: It is very disappointing to note that even Manny Pacquiao seems to have caught that abominable disease that caused the current global crisis: Unrestrained Greed.
VIC RODRIGUEZ: For the nth time, Pacquiao has been unmasked. As they say, you may have all the money in the world but you can never buy Good Character and Values. Is this the “Nation’s Hero” who, as some sectors have proclaimed, is worth emulating? I don’t think so.
JEFF DE GUZMAN: The reaction here in America is just as harsh as that in the Philippines. They find him greedy. He has become a swell-head. Maybe he thought he could make Pinoys follow him any which way he goes. He’s now a laughing stock here.
DENNIS FILART: If Mang Nano (Pugo) were still around, he would have said: DASALASANANSENS. How could you do such a do? Pacquiao has an illusion that he holds the world in his fists. Ha, ha.
PAT PINOL: Food for thought for Manny Pakyaw: There’s enough in the world for everyone’s need, but not enough for Pacman’s greed.
ANTHONY ANDALES: I understand why Manny Pacquiao can’t go home again. We too can’t accept him anymore in our hearts.
* * *
Meanwhile, Salven Lagumbay, boxing chronicler and international boxing judge, reports there has been an upheaval, a sort of mutiny in Pacquiao’s own Pacland website.
“Manny is also being hit in Pacland. Most of his fans were pissed off by his lack of integrity.”
That’s all for now.
We will wait for commentaries from those who sincerely still love Pacquiao
==============
Takot daw ako sumulat sa unahan. Ayan nandito ako at nauna sa iyo apongtangna.
Kaya naging sinungaling at walang kredibilidad si Manny Palaman ay dahil kabarkada niya ang mga sinungaling tulad nina Singson at Atienza. Ang big boss pa niya si Mike Baboy. Kung hindi ba naman siya gago eh pumasok sa dalawang kontrata na magkaribal.
Bilang isang Pinoy, gusto ko manalo si Palaman kay Hatton. Pero dahil sa sobrang kayabangan niya na higit pa sa akin, sana matalo siya. Kapag manalo siya, lalaki na naman ang bayag este ulo niya at malamang manalo pa sa election. Madadagdagan na naman ang mga tuta ni Pandak.
Ang balita pa’y kaya kamuntik nang lumipat si Palaman sa ABS-CBN ay dahil nangako ang huli na susuportahan siya sa election. Anong say mo, aponipacman?
On May 2, the Philippine flag will be flying half mast and will mourn because Hatton will Knock out Pacquiao.. Sorry guyz, its not how big Manny is but it’s Hatton rule!
This will be Manny’s first real fight at a higher weight. David Diaz was under-equipped and the Oscar DeLaHoya Pacman faced was a limp wrung out dishrag. Ricky Hatton looked great against Paul M. and I know he’ll bring his best May 2nd. However. Sadly, Manny now has that mass appeal that amasses wealth. His future fights will be all about the Benjamins. And after Hitman beats the Pacman, I can’t imagine what kind of mega-dollar mismatches and catchweight circuses will ensue. Arroyo and Chavit may become involved.
May kulang sa mga sukat. Bakit hindi nakalagay ang size ng kanilang mga ari? Hindi ito bastos o kalaswaan. Hindi kumpleto ang “Tale of the Tape” kung hindi kasama ang ibon nila. Dahil kung wala, magiging “Fairy Tale of the Tape”.
How embarrassing for both manny and abs-cbn? Naudlot ang kanilang pagbubunyi. Ano kaya ang masasabi ni jinky pacquiao dito. Hindi ba sabi nya natutuwa syang kapamilya na uli. By the time the contract is over, retired na si manny. We can send Money back to ABS.
My boxing predictions had always been on target, been right most of the times until this Fuckyaw came along. My son adores this sabongero and I’m just the opposite, lost all my bets on this guy. On May 2nd, I’ll recoup all my loses.
Fuckyaw will lost, how? have not idea, but any which way is fine with me. Need to cash a winning ticket for a change!
Dela toya fight was a freak show, it was horrendous – Oca was just in for the money, what a turd!
Money Pakyao needs to distance himself away from shady characters especially politicians and embrace a low-profile lifestyle. Build a habitat in GenSan filled with chicks and dispose of Jinky if women are your hobby. But why gamble when you already have milions? There are thousands of sick people nationwide he literally can provide aid for thus enhancing his image for nobility – noble cause equals noble deed.
Wonder what was Salud’s motivation to name Romulo, Cory and the Pacman as noble people?
Isa sa mga shady characters na dapat niyang iwasan ay itong si apohikain. Masama ang sumpungan ng hika sa laban.
Wala naman utak iyang si Palaman. Mula sa mga laban, sugal, pulitika hanggang sa mga kontrata ay ang sindikato ang humahawak. Pati ang mahabang balbas niya ngayon at pa-Ingles Ingles.
Kanaway,
Ako naman si Bulik na lahing teksas.
Akala siguro ng dokleng na pakyaw ay sikat na siya,Kahit anong galing mo sa boksing kung wala na mang international bigtime promoter na magbibigay sa iyo ng Big Fights wala ka ring kwenta, sana maBoycott sya ng bwiset na bwiset na sa kanyang mga promoters dahil sa katakawan niya sa Pera, Masiba ka talaga sa Pera bagay talaga ang pangalan mo na Pacman walang tigil lumamon ng pera.
Ewan ko ba kung biru-biruan lang ang nasagap kong tsikahan o tunay,magsweethart na raw sina Chavit at Donya Dionisia.—Aray muna…..
May moderation pa pala dito.Akala ko ba kahit na sino ay pwedi.Kailangan ko pa ba ang ID?
Bulik,
Baka tulog pa ang Bosing kaya hindi ka pa pinapapasok.Huwag kang mag-alala and don’t worry masasabong ka rin dito kung matalas ang ari mo,ibig kong sabihin tari.HIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIH
Ang masasabi ko lang engot si Money dahil pirma ng pirma ng contract ng hindi niya inaalam ang nakalagay.
Welcome Bulik. Ako ang nagpapasok sa iyo dito. Opo…kailangan ng ID kasi Gua ID (I love you in Chinese).
There were only three modern-day Filipinos worthy of representing the country in the world’s hall of noble people: Carlos P. Romulo, Cory Aquino and Manny Pacquiao.
**************************************************
Sino ba ang sumulat nito at napasama si Pakman.Mali naman yata ito.Si Carlos Romulo at Cory Aquino ay naging public servant.Itong si Pakman hanap buhay niya ang boksing.Bakit iyung bang perang kinikita niya ay napupunta sa gobyerno? Nagboboksing siya para sa sarili niyang kapakanan.Tulad niya nagbabayad din ako ng tax.Kapag wala ng pera iyan ay basura na ang tingin sa kanya.Si Rolando Navarette noon ay sikat na sikat,ano ngayon ang nangyari sa kanya? ayun namamalimos.
Hindi mo naman mapapanood ang laban kung hindi ka omurder ng Pay-per-view.$50 din iyun kahit may cable ka na sa TV.Kaya pera ang habol ni Pakman.
Saan ba nangaling itong mga sasabunging manok? May kanaway na at bulik,baka mamaya si Talisain naman ang papasok. Joking lang mga Pare ko.Hahaha!
Ayan Bulik may basbas na si Artsee sa iyo kaya libre ka ng pumasok dito kahit wala ka pang ID.
Just passing by and find this site alive with good commenters focus on issues except this artsee, who is outlandish vulgar, spinning humorless humor like a crazy homo sapien. I am sure he is not the moderator of this blog because of his language. His kind should not be allowed or restricted, else the decent commenters will shy away.
To the topic.
Pacquiao is a tremendous professional boxer, no doubt about that and has been the source of pride and joy of millions of Filipinos who are following his colorful career as a prizefighter. But putting all his actuations in proper perspective, it appears that the avowed nobility of his theme of fighting for his country and his countrymen and wanted to unify the country rings a little hollow because it now creates division among his followers. And sad to state, although Pacquiao will vehemently deny it, things seem to be getting clearer that it boils down to the question on how much money he will earn.
Isa lamang ang napanood kong laban, iyong huli, laban kay La Hoya. Nakupo, tama kayo, he was only there for the money. From the start ay alam ko ng hindi pursigido iyong kalaban ni Pakyaw. Kung makita ko iyang delahiya na yan , ipakita ko sa kanya ang middle finger ko.
Wendell,
Iyang si Pareng Art deported sa kabilang blog iyan kaya dito niya ibinubuhos ang kanyang sama ng loob dahil sobrang bait at mahaba ang pasensya ng moderator na si Pareng Coy Coy,pero itong may ari ng blog ay lahing kano kung gumera ng kalaban sa ibang bansa.Dito hindi siya makapatay ng langaw pero sa kabilang blog itinutumba niya ang mga bully,mayayabang at mga astang siga doon.Pasyal ka doon kay Ellen Tordesillas at basahin mo ang mga banat ni cocoy.
Dito lahat ay pwedi sa kanya at walang censor.Iyan ang kaibahan ng ugaling kano,hindi nila dinadala ang gera sa bakuran nila.
Salamat Kumander Pipi. Miss mo ba ako? Sabi ko nga may nagmamahal pa sa akin dito. Huwag mo naman ipagsigaw na pinalayas ako sa kabila. Nakakahiya.
Pacman will KO Hatton in 10th round.I’ll order Pay-per-view and watch Pacman demolished the British Idol.I like Pacman being a boxer and that’s all folks.
Kumander Pipi
Dapat nga pala ay napasali si Wowowee sa sinulat ng author na noble pipol dahil may yate siya maliban sa Ferrari at saka namimigay siya ng money. Kamuntik yatang naging mag bilas iyang dalawa.HIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIH
Ako ba ang tinutukoy mo, Kimuchi? Bati tayo ha? Huwag mo akong awayin ha? Medyo marami na akong kaaway ngayon dito. Huling biyahe ko na ito at aalis ako ng Shanghai bukas.
Maghahanda na ako para sa Semana Santa.
Artsee,Huwag ka munang mag ilusyon kung hindi mo alam na magkapatid sina Kristen Reyes at Ara Mina.Kung gusto mo ng chizmis sa showbiz makapal ang libro ni JoeSeg diyan.HIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIH
Totoo ba ang balita Kimuchi na kapareho raw ni Willie si Mang Greg ng sakit.Iyun bang erectile dysfunction sa english.Hahaha!
Mali. Ang problema ni Willie iyong puso niya pero si Greg iyong pusod.
Puro kayo tsimis ng showbiz na akala niyo hindi ako update diyan. Nagkita nga kami nina Piolo Pascual at KC Concepcion sa Paris. Galit daw ang mga Fil-Canadians kay Piolo dahil snub siya doon nang huli silang nag-concert. Alam niyo ba na sina Edu Manzano at Pinky Webb ay ikakasal na? Tulad nina Korina at Mar Roxas, magandang timing ito para kay Edu dahil tatakbo siya sa Senado.
Poncho – nothing wrong in supporting our new national treasure, hero, sabongero or whatever adjectives we bestow on him. Just ensure you back up your “10th knockout” quip to make it legitimate. That’s going to be a huge odd by picking Pakyao to KO Hatton in the 10th round.
I’ll again lay my hard earned bucks for another of Pakyao’s
victim. Win or lose, I’ll send my ticket to Pareng Cocoy to prove I again lost, but wait! the good lord is on my side this time, just hoping he’s not playing trick on me again.
fartsee,
Kahit kailan ay hindi kita minura at wala kang karapatang murahin ako dahil hindi ikaw ang nagluwal, nagpalaki, nagpakain at nagpaaral sa akin.
Kung ganyan ka pinalaki ng katulad mo’y salaula din ang bunganga mong magulang, HINDI ka nababagay sa mundo ng taong marunong gumalang sa kapwa.
Bastos ka na’y wala ka pang kahihiyan at walang alam kung puro kayabangan!
Hindi ko kailanman hinangad na maging sentro ng atraksiyon sukdulang gumamit ng mga salitang makatawag pansin katulad ng kabastusan at kayabanganng wala sa lugar.
At lalong hindi ako nag-aanyaya ng tao upang mapansin lamang at masabing maraming kaibigan at kakampi.
Kung ano ang aking kaisipan ay ‘yun ang aking ibabahagi at iaambag kahit saang talakayan.
Hindi na baleng manatili akong pobre huwag lamang masabing hambog dahil sa sobrang ilusyon!
Wendell…Ang deldel mo. Bagong alyas na naman. Iisa lang ang tumitira sa akin at palit ng palit ng pangalan. Ako lang ba ang vulgar dito? Noon pang Enero 2008 ganoon na ako ngayon mo lang alam? Tama na ang deldel at basahin mo na lang ang mga poste. At kung hindi mo kaya ang humor ko, dumampot ka ng bato at ipukpok mo sa ulo mo.
Buwisit ka! Dadaan ako sa Macao pauwi ng Pinas at nawala tuloy ang mood ko. Balak kong gamitin ang natitira kong $500,000 sa casino sa Macao. Wen r u going to stop deldel? Ha, Wendell?
Ano ba ang problema mo, aponihikain? Gusto mong sumulat ako sa unahan puro banat mo naman sa akin. Huwag ka na ngang gumamit ng ibang alyas. Wendell, Wendell ka pa eh halatang iisa ang style. Buwisit ka! Naghihintay na ang driver ko sa labas at dadaan ako sa Macao. Hintayin mo ako sa Pinas at doon tayo magtuos. Pukingnamo!
fartsee,
Hindi ako si Wendell at si Wendell ay hindi ako.
‘Yan ang hirap sa iyo, dahil sa sobrang hangin ng ulo mo, bawat pumupuna sa iyo akala mo iisang tao.
Palibhasa’y basura na ang laman ng utak mo kaya basura din ang lumalabas sa bunganga mo. Wala ka nang ginawa kundi magmura kapag nasasaktan ka sa mga sinasabi sa iyong bunga ng kahambugan mo.
Wala na, tuliro ka na talaga. Hindi na kayang tumakbo nang matino ang utak mo, kung meron ka pa nga.
Tsk. tsk. tsk.
Ito ka na ngayon, .01 senti + 99.99 mental = sentimental.
Kapag bumigay ka na at napatid na ‘yang .01 senti ay magiging 100% ka nang mental case!
Bwahahahahahahahhhhhh!
Kung basura ang utak ko, bakit mo ako pinapatulan? Di mas bulok ka pa sa basura? Relax ka lang ulol…Wendell Wendell lang iyan at lalamig ka rin.
I’m new to this blog. Apologize for asking this though, but to OP…
Do you know if this can be true;

Hatton too easy for Pacman.
Hindi na masama ang kinita ni Manny Pacquiao for six minutes laban kay Hatton: $20 million
Here’s the youtube of the fight:
First round:
Second Round:
We have seen this before but let’s watch again this interesting youtube, an ultimate tribute to Manny Pacquiao:
Pansinin nyo sa 2 youtube on the fight of Pacquiao vs. Hatton. Strange coincidence.
Sa first round, pag signal ng last 10 seconds, isang bigwas ni Pacquiao, bagsak si Hatton for the second time. Saved by the bell.
Sa second round and end of the fight, ganun din. Pag patok ng 10 seconds signal, pinakawalan ni Pacquiao ang final punch. Timbuwang si Hatton, parang tinibang saging!
Dehins na binilangan ng referee.
Ito naman ang masaklap na balita. 3 ang namatay sa panonood ng laban ni Pacquiao vs. Hatton!!!
Three people died due to heart attack from excitement while watching boxing hero Manny Pacquiao beat British Ricky Hatton on Sunday, police said.

Very impressive win!
Pakyaw won coz: 1. he’s hard to hit 2. instead of perfume, he uses a stinker to keep his foes away 3. his gloves have ballbearings inside
FG was equally excited, pero buhay na buhay pa rin.
sa mga pahayag mo TruBlood, lumalabas lang ang ganap na katotohanan na isa kang walang kaduda-duda, kahiyahiya, saksakan at nuknukan pa ng katangahan!
TANGA KA TRUBLOOD, TANGAAAAAAAAAA!!!
