PAC MAN

Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao the world’s number 1 pound-for-pound boxer. Okay, so he’s every Filipino’s personal hero. Like the whole Philippines stops when Manny is on a fight-like the whole country literally stops- zero crimes committed, people just tune in to the television to watch his fight. It’s like a national holiday.

Well, last Saturday (May 2nd), he fought against British boxer Ricky “Hit Man” Hatton and The Pac Man knocked out Hatton in the second round! After two knock downs of Hatton on the first round, The Hit Man finally gave up on the second round. Martin Nievera, the Filipino singer who sang the Philippines’ national anthem said after being asked about the fight “I felt like I spent more time in the ring than Manny did…”

Unfortunately, the video of the short fight in Youtube had to be put down because of copyright issues. But here’s what Happyslip’s, my favorite Youtuber, vlog about the fight. I have to say that almost every Filipino around the world does this when watching the fight.

Happyslip: “Punch, punch, punch, punch, hug. Punch, punch, punch, punch, hug. Do you hate each other, or do you love each other?”

Thanks Happyslip for sharing this video.
