IT was a great experience watching the Manny Pacquiao-Jorge Solis fight via Smart 3G and doing the INQUIRER.net Running Account of this bout (this is my first sports Running Account, as opposed to the Estrada impeachment trial, People Power 2 and other political Running Accounts I did before).
Manny kayoed his Mexican opponent, and server traffic actually also kayoed our Running Account, heh — it was erratic, so the account was unavailable to some readers if they were accessing the servers that went down – though our homepage is still standing and we’ve broken Pacquiao’s 8th round knockout victory as our headline.
I have to admit I’m impressed with how well the Smart 3G feed held up — we were all keeping our fingers crossed. The biggest scare we got was when the feed got disconnected as Pacquiao and Solis were being introduced, but fortunately I was able to reconnect after a few minutes.
By the way, “congressman” chants from Pacquiao supporters broke out after his postfight interview. Hmm…

siguro mas maganda kung wag nating hatulan ng negative si manny about sa candidacy niya. Siya lang at ang Diyos ang nakakaalam ng kakayahan niya. Maaring wala siyang pinagaralan pero who knows na may marami siyang alam about sa batas kesa sa atin.
hayaan lang natin siya kung ano ang gusto niya…

manny pacquaio, i admire your boxing prowesss, i am in awe of your desire to serve the Flips, i like your spirituality.
boxing ring is your arena, not the congressional hall, nor any of the political halls. if you really really love the Filipinos, express it in a way that you know best. a way that your heart dictates not what other dictates.
your English communication is bad. being just a conduit of somebody else’s interest albeit vested at it’s best, is not the true meaning of helping Fiipinos.
continue with your humble attitude and work in the background only should you insist of helping us. you do not have to be in the limelight nor in the congressional position to be able to help us out.
pray really hard for your final decision. God is listening, you should also pause and listen to Him.
