Mr. Pontaoe

You know many things but boxing is not one of them.

In case you are ignorant on the sport of pugilism, scoring is based not only on the number of punches thrown but also the on the number of punches landed, number blocked, power punches thrown, and aggressiveness.

On these Paquiao was clearly the winner. With your knowledge of boxing I am sure that you would have given the third round to Marquez based on his ability to last entire round.

Both men deserve a round of applause for a good fight but the clear winner was Manny Paquiao (and the Philippines).

How can anyone disagree to what Ms. Ric and Messrs. Pontaoe, Carrera and Ceralde opined re merit of meek versus might. They raised the bar to new heights. Perhaps it is time the matter is laid to rest.

Come to think of it, I’ve often wondered why Manny Pacquiao and athletes like him, need to infuse religion as they prepare to inflict harm to their opponents. Does it mean God doesn’t mind protagonist beating the heck out of each other and raises the hand of the victor?

On the other hand, we maybe judging Pacquiao unfairly. Was he praying and hoping those chasing him back home for alimony do not know how to count US$6 million? Maybe he is scared stiff thinking of the potential beating he will receive from his wife if he loses the fight, di ba?

I also wonder what their purpose is whenever I see TV footages of Malacanang cabinet members praying at the start of each meeting. I bet they pray the good people of the Philippines will continue sleeping on the wheels so they can clear out cash registers? Hoping they can come up with more ways to milk the country and able to cover it up? Perhaps they are hoping the express not over indulge in brandy so as not to jeopardize more juicy China contracts.

Go figure!

Hi, I was Google searching my Uncle Robin Soria for the purpose of a project for my graduate studies in education and to find only that he has passed away.

I am in the US Army and have been moving a lot and I guess my family thought that I have been informed. I am interested in learning more about him and if you have not yet found a next of kin, I would like to be informed.

Please kindly respond back to romalyn.aaron@us.army.mil or romalyn0828@gmail.com

It would be really appreciated.

Since when did the famous supposition of the great French philosopher and mathematician, René Descartes, “I think therefore I am” had been turned upside down and adulterated in one’s desire to look good.

Such famous lines are better off if they are left alone. Because to change the structure of the composition, is not innovative but plagiaristic.

Case in point: John F. Kennedy’s, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”.

The great American jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. said, “ It is now the moment when by common consent we pause to become conscious of our natural life and to rejoice in it, to recall what our country has done for each of us, and to ask what we can do for our country in return”.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. - - - - - March 8, 1841 - March 6, 1935

“You are what you think” is a supposition - the antecedent clause for a conditional statement.

You are – WRONG - what you think - RIGHT, Mr. Oriel.

Well, at least, I got you all talking especially even a little bit about Christianity during the Holy Week. Like I said in my previous post, I am also interested to listen and hear what my Kabaleyans have to say. I am fully aware that learning is a continuing process and we learn something new everyday.

It has been said, “You are what you think.” One way then to know who you are is to hear and listen what you think about issues being discussed. Thanks for giving us a glimpse about who you are relative to these significant issues affecting our daily lives.

Happy Easter to everybody.
