"Pambansang Kamao"

"Nakakatakot pala kalaban ito. Pati mukha may muscle!"

That was just one of the comments during the Pacquiao-Marquez title fight yesterday, when the entire Philippines stood still and watched as Manny escaped battered and blue but the winner.

This was my first time to watch a Pacquiao bout "live telecast". Didn't realized it was quite a big deal till I got to Access Point bar and saw the crowd. The free breakfast didn't hurt either.

The fight was thrilling up to the last round. Everybody was dreading that Manny will lose but as soon as Michael Buffer announced "and new WBC super-featherweight..., everyone was jumping, standing on chairs amd spraying beer and water all around. All of this at half past noon! The jubilation ended when the new champ is being interviewed, broken English and some more. Moments after, everybody started to go, including us.

"Naku po, tinamaan sa mukha!
