One can not but help notice the change in alliances and friendship amongst personality due to the forthcoming election

For the administration

PD and Emmanuel Pacquiao.  Pacquiao and Duterte relationship is souring up, despite perceived alliance and material support of the  former during the 2016 election.  (No Sa Pacq or Du Pacq)

PD and the Marcoses.    No more political ambition for the Marcoses.   Alliances have stopped.  

No more Sa Marc or 

How about political debt to Villar and GMA

For the opposition:

Who is it going to be Leni?

Sotto and Ping (Ping So)

Effectively with the death of Pinoy the opposition popularity would have weakened consdierably.

May be Tulfo and Willie can launch their political careers or even Ding Dong.  Or even Glenn Acostoa (Gabby Concepcion)   or even Cupcake.   Who knows.  

Controversial unanimous decision of Horn over Pacquiao draws flak from experts and fans of the boxing world

                                            Bloodied Horn is the new controversial  WBO champ

                                    Pacman bleeding from a headbutt cut


From CBS sports, Teddy Atlas of ESPN tells Horn he lost the fight

Jeff Horn won over Sen. Manny Pacquiao this morning at Brisbane Australia in an unanimous decision 117 -111.   Many fans and boxing experts are disappointed if not furious.  A hometown decision?

Many noted the following:  head butts, grappling, wrestling from Horn.   Pacquiao sustained headbutt wound that required 14 stitches. (The doctor is from Las Vegas and did a very good job)   Pacquiao in a TV interview with Dyan Castellejo complained that the inexperienced referee did not stop Horn from the headbutt and other unprofessional tactics, nor subtracted  points.

Other critics say it is age, lack of focus from Pacquiao, not capitalizing on the adverse effect of  sudden loss of weight by Horn.  But Horn is young fast and agressive and not awed by the 8 world division tiitle of Pacquiao.

From Bleacher Report - Twitter Reacts to Controversial Win

Twitter says that Pacman has been robbed again in the controversial loss (Another Bradley).  It could be the betting odds too.

Will Gen Bato be disciplined/suspended/removed from Office by Ombudsman for freebies from Sen Pacquiao

From Rappler - Ombudsman probes Batos Pacquaio funded trip

There is a lot of ruckus going on over the freebie given to Gen Bato and family (free plane and accommodation) to watch his recent fight vs Jessie Vargas.   Gen Bato clearly violated PD 46 and the provisions of Code of Conduct and Ethics for govt employees.   Clearly too that this is political since De Lima, a fellow lady who has tons of accusation is not being investigated

Clearly too this is selective justice at work since in the past, the good Senator accommodated a lot of free loader solons for many of his fight.  Why only now is there such an investigation

Clearly this is to stop Gen Bato dead on his tracks and to discredit him.  All that they have to do is convict him, and as promised by Pres Duterte to pardon him.  Neat eh

Pacquiao needed a win over Rios not because it is a symbol for "Bangon Pinoy" but because he is broke?

News has it that Cong Pacquiao needed the Rios fight badly and many more fights, despite having aged all ready, because he is broke.  He is hemorrhaging lots of money.  Team Pacquiao entourage has mismanaged the earnings of Pacquiao, despite having accumulated more than $200 million.

His downfall will be his generosity, according to a Times article written by Michael Koncz:

Let us quote the excerpt:


Despite earning nearly $200 million during his brilliant career, Pacquiao always hemorrhaged money. Gary Andrew Poole's 2010 biography, "Pacman," laid out how Pacquiao's contracts were split: After his manager's took their 20-percent cut, his trainer Freddie Roach took 10 percent, strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza shaved off a few more points. There were also training camp expenses, tax bills in the U.S. and the Philippines, and his boundless, ever-growing entourage, all guzzling funds. According to a 2009 New York Times article by Greg Bishop, "Team Pacquiao has perfected the art of dysfunction. The entourage consists of trainers, assistants to the trainers, advisers, assistants to the advisers, cooks, dishwashers, car washers, publicists, gofers and security." For each fight, Pacquiao also spent hundreds of thousands of dollars flying his entourage to Las Vegas, buying hundreds of tickets, covering hotel rooms, and providing spending money. In the Times article, Michael Koncz, singled out Pacquiao's Achilles' heel: "The downfall of Pacquiao, if there is one, will be his kindness and generosity. At some point, I fear that's going to catch up to him." Beyond Pacquiao's generosity, he reportedly squandered millions from gambling. That doesn't even account for his fleet of cars and extensive property holdings, including houses, condos, apartments and such an intense desire to give his money away to the poor he had to hire people simply charged with the responsibility to apologize and prevent him from throwing money at all the open hands spread out before him.
