One Minute & Sixteen Seconds On the Eighth: Manny Pacquiao Still Reigns Supreme in the Ring

After a cut on the sixth round, one would surmise that perhaps Manny Pacquiao just blew his chance of winning the match against an undefeated contender of Mexican descent, Jorge Iván Solís Pérez. Remember the previous fight that Manny Pacquiao had with Erik Morales when he had a cut from a head bunt? He fought unflinchingly to the finish but the cut itself put him to a great disadvantage thus, rendering his defeat in that match.

Manny Pacquaio, is still and always be the people's champ of the Philippines. He is the only fighter who has the skill and the heart to fight, to win and to unify the Filipino people amidst all the animosity brought about by the hard life and the enormous problems challenging the Filipino nation.

Thanks to his talent and dedication, he managed to pull a fast one again on a Mexican challenger and brought honor once more to the Philippines.

Manny Pacquiao seems a very likable guy. He is down to earth and he has a genuine concern for the Filipino people. One cannot blame the fans who hail Manny as a hero, because in his own little way he managed to put the Filipino nation in a good light again.

If only the Filipino people have the same relentless spirit as Manny Pacquiao, then I'm sure there'll be a magnanimous change in the course that the Philippines is headed for as a nation. The Philippines will be on the path to a better nation. For now I can only hope.

For the information of everyone, Manny is running for a congressional seat in the fast approaching May 14 elections in the Philippines. If his intentions of serving the Filipino people are true, then I hope he wins. I don't care if he knows not a single article or section in the Philippine Constitution for as long as he knows how to address the needs of his constituents. I wish him the best of luck.

I also hope that his candidacy is not just a spur of the moment feeling being brought about by his popularity among the Filipino fanatics.

If he does win the post, I hope he will deliver his guns as intensely and as fearlessly in the congress as he does in the ring. NO FEAR, that's his emblem and I hope he lives up to it.
