Manny Pacquiao Is the Hero Filipinos Need Today

he Pacman does it again. The Philippine's favorite boxer Manny Pacquiao clobbered Ghanaian Joshua Clottey Pacquiao lands a right to the face of Clottey during his walter- weight title bout (Photo by Jed Jacobsohn/Getty Images)in a twelve-round match before fifty thousand boxing fans who filled the Dallas Cowboys stadium. With Pacquiao the odds on favorite, many had hoped for a sixth or seventh round victory, that did not happen as Clottey was just too tough an opponent to stop that quickly.

Freddy Roach, Pacquiao's trainer said that Manny is so fit that if he wanted to, he could easily fight for another three years—but quickly added that he'd like the Filipino great to take on a couple of more fighters and then retire. Roach then hurled the challenge to Mayweather that he be one of those Pacquiao faced off before retiring.

In the Pacquiao home in General Santos, his mother Aling Dionisia said she also would insist that Manny give up boxing for good. And as Roach puts it, Manny no longer needs to fight. With politics, and show business alone Pacquiao will have enough on his hands to keep him busy for a lifetime.

With Manny Pacquiao's imminent retirement, the Philippines will need a new sports hero Filipinos can rally around. Amid the disappointment two-faced politicians, and corrupt business and government leaders, the country will need someone like the Pacman, a Filipino who can stand toe-to-toe with the best the world has to offer. The search is on!

Enter the Dragon-lady Senator-Judge Miriam Defensor Santiago

The Filipino people have just about had enough of Miriam Defensor-Santiago. She is loud, arrogant, and intolerant of anyone but herself. In her Ilongo-accented diatribes Santiago bullies anyone and everyone she dislikes or who happens not to share her views. It is somewhat disheartening because Santiago is reasonably smart and adequately educated—but the minute she opens her mouth, those pluses just fly out the window.

Andres Narvasa Should be Held Accountable for His 1992 Resolution A.M. No. 92-9-851-RTC

The ongoing impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona has brought to light what appears to be a faulty, if not patently unconstitutional 1992 En Banc resolution of the Philippine Supreme Court that effectively ended any public disclosure of the Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN) of any Justice or Judge. Chief Justice Andres Narvasa’s court in their ruling—A.M. No. 92-9-851-RTC, dated September 22, 1992—resolved that henceforth all “All requests for copies of statements of assets and liabilities of any Justice or Judge shall be filed with the Clerk of Court of the Supreme Court or with the Court Administrator, as the case may be, and shall state the purpose of the request.” Published 1/24/2012


The Renato Corona Impeachment Trial—Three Days and Counting

The Corona impeachment trial now three days old is turning out to be somewhat of a disappointment. The month-long period form December 14, 2011 when the Senators first took their oaths as Senator-Judges  to the January 16 start, only served to heighten the public’s anticipation for a blockbuster court drama that would play out live in their livingrooms.
