Period.

I’m not really sure if I should talk about this here. Ha-ha. Anyway, I do think I want to share `my thoughts’ so lets move on.

Its Sunday, and for your information, today the same old person made me proud of being a Filipino again. He is none other than, Manny ‘PACMAN’ Pacquiao. A Filipino boxer. An all-time favourite boxer. Yes, The People’s Champ!

Moving on, unfortunately I wasn’t able to watch it via PPV, so I had to wait for the delayed and annoying telecast at GMA7. But, thanks to Twitter. There were a lot of spoilers. And yes, I’m glad to be updated although I wanted it to be a surprise. I don’t want to wait, period so I kept on checking my Twitter timeline. Simple as that. Upon checking on it, I’ve seen tweets of those I follow that Pacman looked like he’s about to lose..that it was Marquez fighting well, Yadah-Yadah-Yadah. Reading tweets, I felt like I was also watching it. Everyone on Twitter thought that Marquez will win. Every single Pinoy who watched the game on time, expressed this little sadness because our People’s Champ might not have a chance to win the title but they all knew Pacman fought well. Very well. Shortly, tweets were coming up. Pacquiao won, but Marquez deserves it. A lot of tweets about that. Celebrities, Professionals, Friends, yes. They all thought Pacquiao didn’t deserve it.

I don’t know anything about boxing but since I saw Manny Pacman years ago got on the boxing ring,I enjoyed watching it. I mean, I enjoy watching it when its him on the ring. So yes, I don’t know how its being scored, etc. Still reading tweets and status updates on facebook. Filipinos have gone wild, protesting and judging the game. Okay fine, I wasn’t able to watch it on time and I was still waiting for the delayed telecast but… let me share my point! Okay, Im done watching…..

First, ITS BEEN DECIDED. We aren’t the judge. We may see things but that’s the reason why there are judges. By judges, I hope we all know what they do. They know it all about the scoring, etc. So why question Pacman? It wasn’t his fault that he won.

Second. I believe that Pacman worked his ass off to bring pride to our country AGAIN. At the end of the day, its not us fighting there. Its not us sacrificing there. Makes sense? At the end of the day, its still the Philippine Flag being raised. Cant you just be so proud.

Third. I am 100% Proud of being Pinoy. Pinoy at heart. And yes, I’m glad that Filipinos now are different. They go for what’s fair and right. Something to be really proud of. But at some point, we just have to look at it this way: We’ve been used to seeing Pacman knocking his opponent down. We got used to Pacman tearing his opponent’s poor face. Yes, we got used to it. But the thing in his fight with Marquez, it was really good. They were really good. Marquez was really good. That’s the reason why there are so many people that thought that it should be for Marquez. But whats the fuss all about? Results were shown. They both studied how one moves so its pretty easy for them to attack and not to. They knew each other very well. So no more 4th match. We’ll just witness the same fight. So stop.

Fourth. The fight clearly showed the difference between a fighter who prays and a fighter who praises himself. 

Fifth. Just stop hating. Stop complaining. Let’s just be happy and appreciate it. Results were shown. Just look within, we’re not the judge.

Cant keep your mouth shut? Watch it again. Analyze. Look clearly. Don’t be too judgmental. Study boxing and study how scoring is being done then make your judgment, that’ll be better.

I got your point folks, and I’m proud. Pacquiao won. End of Story.

PS. I admire Marquez a lot. Kudos to him. 

Peace, Love & Happiness.
