Manny Pacquiao has once again proven superb prowess in the boxing ring as he knocked out Ricky 'Hitman' Hatton on their second round fight for the Junior Welterweight Championship last 3rd May 2009 held at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas.
He has already landed in the Boxing Hall of Fame for being the only boxer to achieve five titles from different divisions.I read an article from the Philippine Daily Inquirer (dated 4 May 2009)and let me quote:
"Pacquiao enshrined himself as the only boxer who fought in four weight classes in four successive fights and won them all..."
He is truly a global and phenomenal athlete... a well-loved figure by the Filipino people.
I agree with one of the newspapers that on the day of the fight, the clock stopped in Philippine territory as everybody was glued on television to watch the battle of East and West. Manny Pacquiao has carried the torch of Filipinos burning and its flag waving up high to the entire world. He has made the Philippines known once again in the international arena.
He has embodied the Filipino values and aspirations...
someone who has a strong faith in the almighty.
someone who has strong family ties.
someone who gets enthusiasm from friends and supporters.
someone who has achieved success from rags to riches.
someone who has a life that can inspire the aspirants.
A man worthy of praise and accolades.
MANNY, YOU ARE A TRUE FILIPINO PRIDE
