Well it is over and I think when Manny “Pacman” Paquiao knocked out Ricky Hatton in the second round I woke up the whole neighborhood. I am proud of Pacman because he is a Filipino, but I am really proud of him because he came from humble beginnings and made something of his life. Even when people such as Floyd Merriweather Sr and Oscar Del La Hoya said that Hatton would overpower Manny and knock him out, Pacquiao was reserved and in his own words “I went out and did my job.” It shows what kind of people Hatton’s crew was when they wouldn’t even be by their fighter’s side at the press conference following the fight. Maybe Hatton, if he fights again, might want to look for a trainer who is devoted to him.

Anyway, it was good for the Philippines because they have been featured on television here in the States all week. It’s nice to turn on a TV channel and see Jeepneys going down the road alongside trikes and seeing smiling Filipino faces. Pacquiao has done so much to promote the Philippines and show how proud and humble the Filipino people are. Have a good celebration people of the Philippines you all deserve it!
