On Manny Pacquiao fighting for the glory of the Philippines in his every fight---crap

Fighting for the country's glory? Then, donate
all your earnings to government and charities

Really now, I am sick and tired of hearing Manny Pacquiao say that PR line that his fight is my fight and he's making it for the country. That's totally crap.


Manny Pacquiao is not fighting for the Philippines, oh no. He is fighting for big bucks for those Payper views and purse monies, and of course, millions of dollars from sponsors. 


Tell me now, if Pacquiao is fighting for us, why did he keep his winnings in his bank account? If he's really fighting for the country, why not donate the entire thing, US$ 30 million at that, to the government or to a foundation? 


What contributions did this guy ever did to this country? Land us in the top pages of boxing magazines? What else? Make other nationalities proud and create the perception that we are a people prone to violence?


What benefits us if the world perceive Manny Pacquiao as the greatest fighter of the world? None. What benefits us if the world perceive us as a country of scientists, of specialists, of experts in the field of economics, of bankers and stuff? Many.


Tell me now, did our lives improve after watching a Pacquiao fight? Policemen says crime drops when Pacquiao fights. Is that it? Are there other things that happen when he fights? Well, we feel good knowing that he won, or a fellow Pinoy won against a foreigner. What else? 


Anything that changed the lives of the poor shortly after the fight? Any part of the earnings or the entire amount given to charity or to government or to the AFP to purchase guns to fight lawless elements? None.


Is Pacquiao fighting to save the homeless from the state, or the poor from poverty or the workers from greedy capitalists or the Moros from those who want to own their homeland? 


Really now, Pacquiao is fighting only for his own glory and for the glory of his handlers, who get big bucks every single time he fights. Who benefits from his winnings? Not just his wife and kids, but also sabungeros.


And now the AFP says he deserves that Lieutenant Colonel rank. Tell that to the Marines and the Special Forces who died in Basilan.
