With the recent win of our very own Manny Pacquiao againts Ricky Hatton, the whole nation of Philippines once again felt that somewhere beyond our suffferings in this hard times one man rays hope and joy among us. Manny has just set a record of being a champion in 6 different weights division. Only one other man has ever done that----Oscar De La Hoya, whom Pacquiao defeated last December and forced him into retirement. And with this achievement, his name will be among the greatest boxers who ever set foot on the ring.

Manny, who started his career as a mere 112 pounder, now has moved and dominated every division he fought in. His second round devastation of Ricky Hatton yesterday proves that Manny Pacquiao is a man of action and not just a man of words. He is still humble and respectful to his fallen foes giving them credit as well. It really hard to find a succesful man that maintains a clean life and not let sucess get to his head. I am saying this because I began to thinks of other fighters whom always talks and self claimed themselves as a great fighter and then trash-talk about other fighters. This what really set Manny Pacquiao different from them. He let his boxing skills do the talking in the ring and he never comment bad about any fighter. He respect every fighter's skill and give what is due to them.

Our country has always been into a lot of bad limelights such as corruptions, scandals, crime, poverty, disunity among us and many more. The whole world have heard of it a lot in the news here and abroad. Because of these things we somethimes ask ourselves  Are we still proud being a Filifino? Yet over the horizon lies a glimpse of hope that not all are bad about our country. Manny Pacquiao is one fine example of good things that we should be proud of.  He is the news that makes me proud whenever I hear or read it in the internet or newspaper. With this attitude of Manny, it really make me proud that I am a Filifino. Not because he just set a record or  he is popular, it is because Manny has just showed to the world the true nature of being a Filifino---fighting with all his heart yet keeping humble.

THANK YOU MANNY FOR SHOWING THE WORLD WHAT A FILIFINO REALLY IS..
