By now, people from arond the world should know that Manny Pacquiao has triumphed anew. The victory was particularly sweet given that the opponent was not just another Mexican, but a true blue caucasian, a Brit at that. This proves once and for all that the Pinoy can be truly great, and not just world class.
I do hope that with this victory, Manny will now think of himself as the personification of the Filipino dreams and hopes. This means, for instance, picking up fights for and in behalf of his countrymen, and even against those that he has held with high esteem: the cheating, lying and stealing and possibly, killing President . Let’s hope that Manny will give us not only the delight owing to a sports victory, but also the responsibility to truly fight for those who have long been oppressed and can only dream to be like him.
