WHY not just continue the road project in Boom Boom’s
village?
As governor, it does not make sense to continue or push
through with the project only if Boom Boom won the fight or became a world champion. The problem with the governor of Bohol is he only wanted to share a ride on the front page.
Kung talagang dapat ayusin ang kalsada, bakit hindi gawin. Bakit idadaan pa sa laban ni Boom Boom?
Poor Boom Boom, he absorbed all the pain. Siya ngayon ang sisisihin ng mga kabarangay niya dahil hindi magawa-gawa ang kalsada sa lugar nila. Hopefully Boom Boom will become a world champion before the governor of Bohol needs him for the next election.

Kaawa-awang Boom Boom… natalo siya dahil sa bigat ng pasanin niya sa balikat… kalye sa kanilang bayan pag nanalo, kalyo sa budhi niya pag natalo… mahiya nawa at makonsensiya ang lingkod bayang kulang sa delikadesa at katinuan ng pag-iisip na walang naisip kundi ipansugal ang laban ni Boom-Boom na ang taya ay kalsada. Manalo-matalo si Boom Boom ay may pondo na namang nakalaan para dun sa pang-kalye. Mananagot yung gobernador sa taumbayan at sa Diyos kapag di niya ginastos sa tamang paraan ang pondo ng gobyernong ipinagkatiwala sa kanya.
Sa isang banda ay may good news sa pagkatalo ni Boom Boom… yun ay sa parte ng mga Mehikano… Kaawaawa naman sila kung naging 6-0 ang iskor ng katatapos na derby ng mga boksingero. Kung baga eh may pakonsuwelo de Boom Boom tayong iniwan sa kanila para di naman luhaang nagsiuwi ang mga Mexican boxing fans. At si Boom Boom? Magandang boxing lesson sa kanya ang pagkatalo niya dahil pundasyon ito ng mas maingat na pakikibaka niya sa hinaharap. Gaya ni Pacman na nakatikim din ng mga KO na talo sa umpisa ng kanyang Career.
Kaya, para kay Boom Boom… keep up the good fight! Kampeon ka pa rin dahil kasama ka sa Team Philippines: ang panalo ng isa ay panalo ng lahat! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! Mabuhay ang Pilipino!

Another example of a decaying political manuever in the Philippines! How could we expect our country to improve if all the politicians we elect would always ride on the popularity of our sportsmen? (I tell you there are a lot of them - for vested interest!) Infrastructure projects should always be given priority and those are for the people, not for somebody who will bring honor… E natalo nga, forget or deferred na lang?! Are we really in the state of congenital decadence?!

while i would like to think that the gesture — or challenge/bet — was made as a form of encouragement (literally giving meaning to the phrase that the fate of the people rests on boom boom’s shoulders), it still leaves a very bad taste in the mouth. i’ve good things about the governor having had the chance to work for human rights in his province. so the intention may be genuinely true and good, but sad to say, the means and method he is employing does not and will not ultimately deliver the results that will be beneficial to all concerned.

It is NOT Boom-boom’s responsibility to have the barangay road cemented. The governor seem to forget that it is his responsibility to get it done being the servant to the people, while boom-boom entertains the people (win or loss). Surprisingly, no one from the national government expressed their views on this issue.

The lost of Boom-boom is a hard pill for the Filipinos here in Canada to swallow. We all have cheered for him and felt overjoyed during his winning bouts but let me remind you that we should give more of our support, encouragement and prayers to this promising boxer at this time of his failure on the ring. If I am that governer I will push through for the construction of that road because a failure will always lead to a success. This will even motivate Boom-boom to do his very best for his next fight.
