Pac!

Exuding Pinoy pride at the moment after Manny Pacquiao's 8 round TKO.

Main Event

Oscar de la Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao tonight.
This tries my loyalty.

Root for Oscar? The namesake of my Stony Brook handle, who embodies a phrase that would otherwise be an oxymoron in others: a handsome boxer.

Or Manny? Because he’s a flip, hails from the same region as me, and speaks the same dialect. Thus, my inner patriot beats.

Like the movies, root for the underdog? In this case, Pac-Man.
Set in the midst of a recession, this is so "Cinderella Man."

And for those wishing peace on earth and goodwill to men, The Philippine Star reports that the “PNP anticipates zero crime rate during Pacquiao-De la Hoya match.” Hallelujah!
