I read the article and they danced around the subject jabbing lightly a few times but I did come away with the notion Manny is indeed running for Congress.<BR/><BR/>God help him. I fear he will get advisers that do not serve him well (and it is one thing to have turkey advisers it is another not to know they are turkeys) and direct him into ruin. I give the man full credit for his boxing skills and other qualities to climb to the top of his profession, but look at Mike Tyson.<BR/><BR/>Tyson was robbed blind by Don King and while from all appearances Mr. Pacquiao is way smarter than Mike Tyson he is stepping into a ring where the rules are much more fuzzy (even when in black & white) and there is no official with arbitrary power to make sure the rules are followed.<BR/><BR/>Will Manny know if a particular adviser is a "Don King" or not?Marcus Aureliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731740191789466205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1176660436111669612007-04-16T02:07:00.000+08:002007-04-16T02:07:00.000+08:00Rizalist,I tend to agree with your last statement....Rizalist,<BR/><BR/>I tend to agree with your last statement.justicialigahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14224725392522257876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1176642864469751032007-04-15T21:14:00.000+08:002007-04-15T21:14:00.000+08:00Fair enough, justicia liga.

I guess we are in agreement though that we ought not to side with someone JUST BECAUSE he is our countryman, or to go against him because he is not?Deany Bocobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443168826029321831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1176621417928716342007-04-15T15:16:00.000+08:002007-04-15T15:16:00.000+08:00rizalist,He is a countryman.

The same way I can feel terrible contempt for persons like Borgy Manotoc if needed even though he is a fellow Filipino.<BR/><BR/>We have OFW's nearly everywhere and they are said to represent the country too.<BR/><BR/>If a fellow Filipino is convicted in Saudi Arabia and sentenced to get flogged or even to die, are you in favor that the government DON'T do anything like asking for leniency or clemency?<BR/><BR/>The person has been found under a country's law as guilty of a crime.<BR/><BR/>Doesn't that make the guy a criminal? Which would make him worse than just a jerk.<BR/><BR/>So shouldn't you favor that persons like them should be left to their fate whether they are countrymen or not?justicialigahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14224725392522257876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1176448424007207762007-04-13T15:13:00.000+08:002007-04-13T15:13:00.000+08:00Justicialiga,You mean you'd rather have him win an...Justicialiga,<BR/>You mean you'd rather have him win and continue to represent the country even if he's a jerk and just because he's a countryman.
