Philippine Azkals

Also known as the Philippine National Football Team (Azkals) is considered the underdogs in the ASEAN Football Federation Suzuki Cup. But the underdogs scored high as they reached the semi-finals in the fight against the Indoneasian Team.

Although the Azkals didn’t make their way to the top in the AFF Suzuki Cup but there is a significant improvement on the Philippine National Football Team which was never heard since 1930’s. This team did a great job. 

In their match with the Indonesian Team in Jakarta in Bung Karno Stadium, Azkals was defeated in the first and second leg of the semis. Keep in mind that this match was very important as the President of Indonesia and his wife watched this match together with 80,000 people. If this match was held in the Philippine probably the team could have won. But even if the team lost, it is still a reminder of the potential of Philippines in football.  


To the government who should think that it is also good to invest in football, not just in basketball or boxing as shown by this team. Perhaps in the future people will be more interested in football and make their own kababayans proud. 

My Birthday!

Born on December 17, 1978, Pacquiao is celebrating his birthday today at KCC Mall in General Santos City. He is now 32 years old. His birthday wish is to have more power in serving his constituents in Sarangani and maybe the whole country. The same wish was also given by his wife Jinkee not anymore on boxing because of his numerous achievements in this field. His political career has just started on June 30 of this year, listening to his speech he said his plan is to make a university and a hospital in their town which is very noble. But if he wants he can fast track his plan by spending his own money to build these projects. I guess even Pacquiao is saving these days, thinking that someday his money might be gone. Quite wise for a boxer. Some of the big people who attended his party are Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Con. Chavit Singson, Lito Atienza, Freddie Roach and Bob Arum. Also average fan of Pacquiao who attended his party at the mall and at the oval in Gen San feeding 5000-6000 people. Pacquiaio spent 3.5 million just for the food, the caterer said.


I wish you a Happy birthday! May you plenty of birthdays to come. And may all your plans come true.


If you have birthday greeting for Manny, please post a comment.

Life after Boxing.

I am not an expert in this field, so correct me if I am wrong. There are many consequences after abusing your body. In boxing to name a few are being paralyzed, Parkinson syndrome and others. Freddy Roach the trainer of Pacquiao is the best evidence. He is a boxer before in line with many good boxers during his time. The popularity easily fades, and as a consequence one is oblige to suffer what are the effects. Freddy Roach is now suffering a Parkinson syndrome, a medical condition closely related to Parkinson disease. Symptoms include body tremors, slurred or difficult speech, rigid limbs, facial immobilization, and other neurological problems. It is evidently shown when he speaks over his interviews with the media. Several others like Muhammad Ali suffered the same syndrome. In 1984, when Ali was first diagnosed with Parkinson syndrome. The disorder sometimes develops in boxers, because of the repeated blows to the head they suffer over a long career. 

Jinkee, Pacquiao’s wife, said that Manny suffers severe pain on his side and secretes maroon to black urine after every fight. So there may be an impact of the punches of his contenders on his kidney, causing him to bleed in his urine. The mass won’t notice it because of the frenzy cause by the winning of the boxer, but he is left to feel the pain. Some of the expert in boxing said that he should retire early to prevent such conditions. But he said he will have three fights then he will retire. Looking forward, by then Pacquiao will have more money and the question of being winner will still be verified but that would make more impact on his body, making him more prone to the conditions mentioned. In my opinion, he should think about this. He may end up spending his money earned in hospital bills and there is nothing for him to prove because of what he achieved as the only boxer who has eight world titles. So it would be wise for him to retire early, anyway he still have his job as a Congressman of Saranggani.

Pacquiao won

This is a shot after the 12 rounds fight between Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito at Cowboy Stadium in Dallas, Texas. As expected Manny Pacquiao won, this is his eight world title adding to his credits. This time World Boxing Council (WBC) super-welterweight big thanks to Margarito who gave him the extra title. Margarito received extensive punch that led him to be brought to the hospital after the fight. He was not able to attend the post fight conference because he is still in the hospital. Right now, all the Filipinos are rejoicing because of the good outcome of the fight.

On Sunday

On Sunday another fight of Pacquiao will be watched, this is a fight between pacquiao and margarito. It isn't just any other day for Filipinos, it is like one feels oblige to support Pacquiao. Some will go to cinemas, bars, gym or just stay at home. But for sure it will be a big day again for us, there are few manifestations of this, there will be no traffic, in some places, it will be zero crime rate, maybe because the criminals are also watching the fight, and 95-98% household rating of the network broadcasting the fight. It has been a source of pride to watch our kababayan on tv fighting and being watched by people worldwide. On this day, all Filipinos are one, from the less fortunate to the most fortunate people in the Philippines. Some of the Congressmen are planning to go to Texas to watch their fellow congressman fight. Hopefully it is not the taxes we are paying will be used in their trips.
