It started out as any other day. I woke up, ate breakfast, and prepared myself for the sunday rituals that I was about to undergo when I noticed that there was something slightly different, it's like an atmosphere of anticipation and anxiety has engulfed most of the neighborhood. Then it hit me, today was the scheduled fight of boxing superstar Oscar "The Golden Boy" dela Hoya against our very own Manny "The Pacman" Pacquiao. No wonder there was an air of excitement all around our place, everyone was already looking forward to the brawl that was gonna happen later in the morning. Unfortunatley we can't view the whole thing live because we had church, so we would have to do with the delayed telecast. It's really surprising how amidst all the differences that most people in our country have, we always become united everytime Manny Pacquiao has a fight. Sometime I just wish that Manny has a fight everyday, so that this country could be united everyday too, but that would be impossible. But if one really thinks about it, if we were able to be united in a time like this, then we can really do it regardless if Manny Pacquiao has a fight or not. Perhaps it's just in the mentality of each and everyone of us in this country. If we choose to be united, especially in this time of economic crisis and ever increasing prices of comodities, then we absolutely can.
