Ricky Hatton vs. Manny Pacquiao
On May 2, 2009, Pacquiao is set to battle Ricky Hatton for the latter's IBO and Ring Magazine Light Welterweight titles. Since the Wembley Stadium in the United Kingdom had been rejected as the venue for this championship bout, it would be held in the United States at MGM Grand Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Manny is the idol of my son. . He watch his fights and follow his story. He ask me to write about this once poor boy in the suburbs of General Santos City and now one of the richest in the Philippines who earns millions in his boxing fights, truly a phenomena not only in the world of Philippine boxing but all over the world. He had impressed and awed everyone who happened to watch his fights and know him. But i don't want to write about his boxing bouts, i want to write about him as the person he is.
I had once been working in one of the Colleges in General Santos City and yes the place is not a big city but a small town with humble people living in the community. I know the place where Manny live and he is not only an icon but loved and respected not only because he is a boxing champ but because he have a kind and helping heart to almost every one that need his help.
His Mother, Manang Dionisia as what people in the community fondly call her is a funny yet a very humble little woman. I was watching the television the other day and i saw her flashing a girlish and very excited smile, very happy for the first time she was able to come to the USA to watch her son's coming fight with Ricky Hatton and also to do her shopping for her coming birthday. The truth is she never want to watch Manny's fight in the ring but only on television. Manang Dionisia is a very religious and devoted catholic and every time Manny had his fight she will not watch the ongoing fight but would just kneel at her altar and pray the rosary while Manny is doing his fight in the ring. She will not watch until after she knew that Manny won the fight.
Manny came from a broken family. His estranged father separated from his mother is rarely seen in television and newspapers unlike his mother who is now popular and been interviewed and featured in magazines and television. What makes Manang Dionisia a darling of the press is her bisaya accent, charming smile and her candid statements in her interviews. I heard her saying on national television, beaming with pride.... "Without Mommy there is no Manny."
Manny's wife Jinkee had survived some intrigues that tend to shake their marriage. She had handled it strongly and cleverly which put those people who are trying to destroy their marriage in their place. His 4 cute little kids, are also into some popularity though they are unaware of it. Manny's family is a typical Filipino family. Manny though he have almost everything that he can dream of, is not influenced by the glamour and popularity of the rich and famous. He is able to make his family strong and intact and a happy model family.
After Flash Elorde there were lots of Filipino boxers who were trying to make it in the boxing ring but no one had been as lucky and successful and as popular like Manny Pacquiao. Every time he had his fights, the Philippines stood to a standstill until his fight is over. Almost everyone had their eyes in the television. Criminals stop doing crimes and enemies forget their fights. Every time Manny had his fight, the police reported zero criminality's all over the country. There was one reported death by heart attack while watching his fight and also one who was fighting over their bet.
Manny had tried it in politics but people don't want him to be a politician. Once i had commented in his site and wrote, "Manny we love u as our boxing hero not as a politician.' Funny but he tried it even in the television, movies, and as a singer. He was able to make it with the television hosting and his tv program 'Pinoy Records' is a success. His songs are favorited and u can hear kids and adults sing his songs in videokes.
Many had tried to make it to the top but some didn't make it. If you look closely at how Manny manage his career and his life, you will know why he made it the most phenomenal Philippine boxer in history. His focus and his determination is so amazing...but its not enough to make him successful. Its his hard work coupled with his strong faith and his humble heart makes him reach the peak of his career. He never forget what he was before and the strong family values that his mother had instilled in his heart. Many people want to cover their past and forget it, but not Manny. The Pambansang Kamao of the Philippines.
Mabuhay ka Manny and Good Luck!!!
