I don’t want to be accused of being un-patriotic so yes, I am happy Pacquiao won his rematch against Morales. Everywhere today, people were talking about the boxing match and how Morales got knocked-out (actually, it’s a TKO).

It’s interesting to observe that almost all our political roster was in Las Vegas for the bout. Five or eight congressmen were there. Mayor Lito Atienza was there, our governors were there our celebrity-politicians were there.

“Wow, who’s running the country??” I asked Princess Leah.

Now would be a bright time to plan terrorist attacks because even the President is busy watching the satellite broadcast.

But no, there were no attacks. Actually there were no murders or any form of crime committed at all yesterday. My officemate has deduced that even the snatchers took the day off to watch Pacquiao’s match.

It’s nice to know that even just for a single day, the Filipino people agreed on one thing, prayed for one goal, cheered for one victory.
