Time stood still on Jan. 22

Time in the Philippines stood still when all hopes are pinned on the victory of manny the pacman pacquiao...the only shining light of positivity in the country wreck in havoc by so many problems...its so ironical that only such a sports event would bring everybody to gether united as one people because of this fight between morales and pacquiao...the streets were empty...the jeepney drivers were all glued to tv sets watching the event unfold...the more upper class people were at the cinema at the malls that also featured the event at a price of 300 pesos...while the creme of the crop were at their cable tvs who knew the result of the fight even before the others...it was payback time...many filipinos were really rooting for the pacman to do what he was expected to do...win at all cost...the pressure on him was really great...everybody heaved a sigh when the referree stop the fight at the 10th round...the fight was won in a very convincing manner...unlike split or unanimous decisions...it was decided in the ring itself...boxing in the philippines is one of the major sports that as a people we can really be proud of ....
