Pacquiao: Uniting Filipinos?

Congratulations to people's champ, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao for his latest latest K.O. which resulted to his victory.

As I watched his fights' live streaming yesterday, I knew after the first 2 rounds that he would definitely bring home the bacon. As Diaz said, he was no match for Pacman's speed. He lost and yet, he was still a sport. That is the right way to lose. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

But, is Pacman really uniting Filipinos? I don't think so. Those who are enemies remain enemies and those terrorists continue on with their bombings. They just have one common denominator and that is, watching the fight. So, is watching the Pacquiao fight uniting Filipinos? No. We just love to watch him fight but that doesn't mean that everyone is united. United in watching TV? Yes. Unity amongst us? No.

Congratulations to Manny Pacquiao anyway. He did a great job!
