Saturday’s Pacquiao-Clotty fight of the “decade,” if you can call that a fight,
was a mismatch by any yardstick. And if I may say so, it was not because
Clottey is an inferior boxer because he is not. But it was because his mind
was preconditioned with fear for the boxing prowess and legendary speed
of Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao. Clottey was overly cautious to engage the
defending champion in a bloody slugfest where the chances of him being
brutalized beyond recognition, was very probable.

Ang Taong Gipit Sa Patalim kumakapit

WASHINGTON,D.C., Mar. 29 (PinoyGlobal) - The Tagalog saying: “Ang taong
gipit ay sa patalim kumakapit” is pregnant with meaning. In English, it
means - he who is in trouble would cling even to a sharp object. This truism
vividly depicts the predicament of Money Villaroyo (moniker for Manny Villar)
whose candidacy is on course to disaster.

Psalm 43 From the prayer desk of Rev. Deacon Gary
For me, I found, prayer in solitude, makes me closer to God, than joining
the community in prayers. Upon withdrawing myself away from the
"destructing community prayers," I feel my praying is on a "one to one
relationship with God" and I could express myself freely, in my own words.
I could ask God my personal questions and submit myself that, his will be
mine.

Noynoy at 26: "So young and so corrupt!"
WASHINGTON, DC - Billy Esposo has finally wrecked his chair when he
supplanted Manny Villar's story with his own fairy tales about the death of
the senator's brother. What floored me was citing FEU Hospital as the
equivalent of St. Luke's at that time. What he did not tell us was the
brother was admitted in the charity ward. The correct analogy would have
been Ospital ng Makati or Ospital ng Maynila.
