Paquiao wins! Yes, the Pacman won over the Golden Boy Oscar dela Hoya. I do not think there is any bigger news for the Filipinos all over the world right now, other than the triumph of Manny Pacquiao. He has been regarded as the underdog before, but Pacman has proven detractors wrong, showing that as long as he has the heart to win, he will be conquering any obstacles that will be placed before him.

Dominating the match from the first round, Pacquiao seems to be hitting at will against the bigger dela Hoya. Other than the occasional and very rare connections, dela Hoya was not really able to retaliate against the Pacman’s attacks. Manny uses speed against a beleaguered Oscar dela Hoya who can’t follow where Pacquiao’s punches are coming from.

For a brief moment in the Philippine history, the Filipino populace are once against united in cheering for the country’s pride. Political differences temporarily set aside, the country’s leaders are one in wishing for the Pacman’s victory – which he successfully delivered.



Pacquiao won because he puts his heart into the fight. His dedication and discipline has been proven from the great sacrifices that he gives in his training. A commitment that every people, not only athletes, should emulate if they want to succeed in their endeavor.

Yes, it could be a non-title match, but Pacquiao’s victory has once again put the Philippine in the world’s limelight – and for a very positive reason. This triumph indeed brings in a refreshing break from the problems hounding the country today.

Perhaps after this, stocks prices would rise up, the Peso might recover against the US dollar and Filipino entrepreneurs would have more faith in the government, with other entrepreneurs and with themselves.

Indeed, the Pacquiao victory can have a lot of effect on the country aside from making us proud. The positive impact of this triumph could rub off on every field, area and industry, and perhaps create a more favorable business climate in the Philippines.

Yes, it needs a Manny Pacquiao victory to unite the Filipinos once again.
