A brave pugilist

It's been three months since I started blogging—and i'm getting addicted to it!haha..but I realized that I never have written anything about patriotism. It might be that I'm not really that pleased of what's around us nowadays, as everyday, we always hear or read something dreadful happening. I hate to think about it but I guess Filipinos don't have faith in our government anymore. Everyone's concern is their own self, and nothing more for the good of others. Poverty and corruption have really gone worse day by day and the bitter reality is that we might not be able to get over it- that Filipinos will remain to be poor no matter how much hope we have for a brighter future.
Yesterday's boxing fight of Manny Pacquiao has definitely affected me as a Filipino. For a moment, it was kind of inspiring that one person is making us proud worldwide. I was able to watch the 12 rounds of battle and although he was defeated, beyond doubt, he's the winner for me. The courage he had shown was absolutely enormous!! 'nuff said.. :)
