Mabuhay si Manny!

Last Sunday was another historic day for the Philippines and all Filipinos everywhere. Before the eyes of millions of people around the world, our “Pambansang Kamao” Manny “the Pac-Man” Pacquiao brought glory and honor to every Filipino by knocking out boxer David Diaz of the US in nine rounds in Las Vegas, Nevada to take the World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight title and becoming the only Asian to win four world boxing titles in different divisions.
I’m sure every Pinoy was rooting and praying for Manny to win. I asked the community a few days before the fight who they think will win the match. Of course, I know Pinoys would root for the Pac-Man (although there were some who thought Diaz would win, tsk, tsk, tsk) but wanted to find an answer that would give a fair analysis of the match. Yangyang gave the best answer citing speed as the crucial factor and Manny’s advantage. True enough, in the post-fight interview, Diaz said, “It was his speed, it was all his speed. He boxed much more than I thought he would.”
Manny has accomplished so much in the boxing ring many are saying he’s probably the best boxer in the world today. Well23 has an open question right now (you might want to share your thoughts) asking that question and many are saying he is the best right now. Christian Anderson on the other hand asked what else can Manny do to become the best boxer in the world and Mrraraavis thinks Manny should beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. first (who is retired now) because many consider him to be the best. Maybe that’s why Leander thought of asking the community if a Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight still a possibility, and Prince thinks so, saying it will be a very interesting match of super offense versus super defense.
We don’t know yet what’s next for Manny (GaNdA T. R Viii is suggesting that we make him our torchbearer in the upcoming Olympics) but one thing’s for sure, Manny has won not just his fights in the boxing ring but the hearts of every Pinoy and every boxing fan around the world. To our “Pambansang Kamao,” congrats Manny, saludo kami sayo!

hi ^~^ panalo n naman !
truly proud of Manny winning another title…but i go for what his mother’s request to stop boxing though i really don’t know her personal reason. Manny has enough money to sustain his needs for the rest of his life and for sure his family too..
my concern here was about his health, what will happen to him in the future, the side effects?
@Rowena Elbanozar - Thanks for saying that Rowena! Grabe, you saw Manny before he was famous. It must have been incredible hearing about him first when he was starting as a boxer then watching him grow into the champion he is now.
@ACE - Tama ka ACE, panalo talaga!
Thanks for dropping by!
@lelet - We’re all proud of Manny Lelet!:) But I like what you mentioned about Manny’s mom wanting him to retire early, considering how battered he must be after all those fights in his life. I think coach Freddie also wants him to retire early. Maybe you should ask what the community thinks, should Manny retire early or not?
Manny you alreardy have money, use it wisely, ayaw ug patonto sa mga tawo nga nag uto-uto kanimo. kay kana sila hangtod sa na-ay kay kuarta amigo ka nila pero sa oras nga wala ka nay kuarta. Dili na sila maka-ila kanimo.
Some friends are only good if you have money to give them, to spent for them, but when times comes your money is gone, your’re drain, then one by one your friends will be gone, hiding away from you. So use your money wisely. Be smart.
Early retirement is very good for Manny for his health.
To Manny take good care of your health, while you can, minsan lang mabuhay ang tao, I’m sure you and your family are secured for the future, injoy your life with your family is the best.

friend that will influence you to a Godly life
God bless you so much, please spend wisely,

@ Jergens - Great advice Jergens, thanks for sharing this. Let’s all hope Manny will be as wise outside the ring as he is inside the ring and that he manages his wealth and his fame well.
As far as early retirement is concerned, it’s really up to him so long as it will not jeopardize his health in the future.
