THE PACQUIAO SUPREMACY

MANNY "Pac-man" PACQUIAO is the new International Boxing Organization (IBO) and Ring Magazine World Light Welterweight Champion.

Here is a recap to his latest triumph in boxing history. Boxing Champion Manny Pacquiao floored Ricky Hatton in the second round of their Battle of the East and West at the MGM on May 2,2009 before a global audience and more than 16,000 boxing fans who watched it live in Las Vegas. It was Pac-Man’s powerful and solid left hook that annihilated The Hitman. This victory of Manny Pacquiao made a world record tying sixth division world title and fourth consecutive wins in a different weight class therefore making him the best fighter of a generation.

Manny Pacquiao who is called “The No.1 Pound for Pound Boxer in the World” …”The Mexi-cutioner”…”The People’s Champ” and “National Fist” has returned home today , the 8th of May at six o'clock in the morning. Manny arrived in the Philippines with his delegation despite the Influenza A (H1N1) virus scare and typhoon Emong.

Fresh from his victorious and spectacular bout against British boxer Ricky “the Hitman” Hatton, the unstoppable and still undefeated Manny “Pac-man” Pacquiao appeared excited and in high spirits as he greet the Filipino people during a brief presscon at the airport. The whole nation is anticipating his arrival today to see their “hero” who continuously brings honor and pride to their country and all the Pinoys around the world. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has even declared his arrival as a National Day of Celebration. He is set to perform in a solo concert at the SM Mall of Asia to thank his supporters and will attend the Thanksgiving Mass in Quiapo Church. His customary motorcade will be scheduled next week hopefully with a better weather condition.

Together with all the Pinoys around the world, I am proud of Manny Pacquiao’s conquests and popularity. I hope that he would still be the same Manny – Filipino’s pride and inspiration, in whatever endeavors he wants to take in the future. There are news reports saying he will run in the 2010 election as Congressman. The news has caused various reactions from his fans and Pinoys all over. Because politics in the Philippines is associated with corruption, fans fear that Manny’s jump into this dirty field may taint his person and eventually destroy him. However, I think that Manny should be given the chance and just hope that he remain the humble, God fearing man who upholds his good intentions for his nation and countrymen. Having said this, it is beyond any doubt that Manny Pacquiao reigns supreme not only in boxing but most importantly in the hearts of every Filipinos.
