DELA HOYA VS. PACQUIAO LIVE HERE TODAY...

As I posted in my other blog, this morning I was awakened by our very noisy neighbor. They have just had their electricity reconnected after being cut off for non payment, and just the other day, they have availed of Parasat Cable TV's Christmas promo of NO DOWN PAYMENT or THE FREE CONNECTION CHRISTMAS PROMO, in preparation for Pacquiao's fight today, lol...it was already 8 in the morning and the eldest son was really busy calling all the neighbors as they have set their television outside the house for everyone to see the awaited bout between Pacquiao and Dela Hoya... Well, am not a boxing fanatic so I don't really see any excitement in this. But my father, who forgot to buy the card for the match (Prepaid now), was a little agitated as he will miss the match which is live. But then again, noisy neighbor invited my father so no worries for him now. I proceeded with my usual routine this morning and as usual opened Honeysweet like an ordinary day. I started my computer and started reading blogs, and there before my very eyes, almost all of my blogger friends have their noses on PACMAN and THE GOLDEN BOY...hmmm... The live stream below was even introduced by Pinay Mommy Online, and so I grabbed it earlier and posted in four of my blogs, here, Honeysweet Learning Center, VDAY Cagayan de Oro and Vsk8shop... whew...


Watch live video from SECOND CHANNEL on Justin.tv


And the result of the fight?

From the 1st Round up until the 8Th Round, PACMAN ruled and he, the Philippines' Pride had his glorious victory again. Pacquiao wins with an eighth round technical knockout.

So for those who made bets and won, congratulations. As for Pacquiao and Dela Hoya, before the end of the said fight, whoever will not make it will still come out with lots of money, so I guess the fight is not really that bad. Both the winner and the loser will get the share from Pay Per View, aside from all the other fees and shares from sponsors...

No wonder many Filipino children want to become a boxer... what with all the money involved in it? No wonder the government will not support Educational Endeavors such as the ones Dr. Biyo was involved in or the MTG's Math Competitions outside the Philippines... No wonder a lot of Filipinos fail in education...because they have imagined a life in the boxing arena, and become like PACMAN, instead of succeeding in Education...getting a good paying job to support the family and its needs...making good decisions on what to get for a meager amount of money, so on and so forth...

My neighbor, after all these is over, will have their electricity cut off again, and of course the cable connection reversed...well, the sight early this morning is not new to me, we have been neighbors since 1993...

It's none of my business really. But if you see how the world is turning, whether you like it or not, and whether you see it or not, in one way or another, each of us Filipinos are affected...

I have always admired a Filipino who brings fame and glory to the country, no offense to Pacquiao, but I wish people would be as excited as supporting other endeavors and not only in the field of boxing...
