The Lost Filipino

Geopoet writes the realism of the political spectrum of the Philippines from the ground of the Filipino masses. It portrays the realistic views of the small people who felt they are wrought of mass poverty as a result of so much political squabbles and bickering both from the top and lowest echelon of their own government. This is their story...our own story and it starts now...

FOR A MOMENT PEACE HAS REIGNED ALL OVER THE PHILIPPINE ARCHIPELAGO WHEN MANNY PACQUIAO DID IT AGAIN.

The incredibly stunning performance that the people’s champ Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao displayed in the ring against the Ricky “Hitman” Hatton brought again in the whole Philippines’ archipelago a moment reign of peace.

The main thoroughfares among the urban centers in the whole country were decongested with traffic even the barangay roads and small treks or paths were devoid of walkers and joggers; and attendance among religious churches drastically dropped to nearly zero as the ring hero glide to the wings of heroic air magnetizing the whole hyperbole of human curiosity.

Of course, we cannot discount that this event has also attracted the whole wide world watching the stream of flurry combinations that marked the pacman to be the No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer in the whole world. Pacman became the first Filipino boxer who is known to break boxing legends down to the ring canvass and the first Filipino crowned with six boxing titles. Many believed that his greatness is even comparably greater than Muhammad Ali and in any legends that the boxing ring have ever produced; but some only believed that pacman is only on his prime.

Well, whatever status pacman has achieved in his boxing career, the credit could have been ascertain from the people who prayed and supported him while he was in the battlefield of boxing sports. Pacman’s display of religiosity and thanksgiving after the fight can be noted as an explosive example of faith in action. Many believed that pacman’s inner strength comes from on high beyond everybody’s comprehension.

It is also certain that of all the boxers the world over, it’s only Pacman who can magnetized the attention of many. It includes political leaders, movie celebrities, drivers and conductors, dispatchers, storekeepers, landowners, and many people from all walks of life, who have become astounded and intrigued upon hearing the name Manny Pacquiao. Even military and police officers, legislators and plain housewives, or sometimes demented people tried to find a way to see the fight of their boxer icon.

In fact, the AFP declared a cessation of hostilities to see the fight; and upon witnessing the astounding splendor of greatness upon Manny Pacquiao’s performance in the ring, all praises were for Manny. Radio announcers and TV Anchormen feasted in words about him. Such a great fighter ever, they said.

But it was all temporary. After the fight, the Filipinos are divided again. They do their usual occupations from thereon to finish. They would take care of their own no matter what; and of course, many would wish that everyday would be Pacquiao’s day, if perhaps they would like to experience peace even at a moment in time.

As for me, I wish that there would be many Manny Pacquiao as many that Philippines could have, if only to experience a reign of peace for every fight.
