Pinoy Pasaway Series #5

Presenting Mountain Top Experience's newest Pasaway baby: Lito Atienza!


Even as the Department of Health has advised Pacquiao not to go home as planned on Friday, May 7, 2009, after his devastating win over Ricky Hatton in Las Vegas, Atienza comes to the rescue and disputes the DOH's advise.

The DOH has very good reasons, though, as to why they issued an advisory-that is to avoid a possible entrance of the H1N1 Influenza virus in the country.

Atienza states,

"He is healthier than most of us,” Atienza said. “He could be the healthiest Filipino now.”

Sige na nga, Sec. Atienza. Malusog nga siguro si Manny. Pero lahat ba ng entourage niya ay masasabi mong kasing-lusog ni Manny? Ilan ba ang amuyong na kasama ni Manny pag-uwi sa Pilipinas?

With due respect, Sir, Sec. Atienza. You are putting the entire country into a very risky situation.


Pasaway ka!

Proud to be Filipino

Here's the Killer Punch:

Things like this make us proud to be Filipinos.

Pacquiao's TKO win over Hatton in Round 2 is indeed sensational. I'm sure a lot of articles will feature this match in various blogs, so I'm not making a similar story not add more.

I would just like to recommend this article from the Inquirer entitled: It's Great To Be A Filipino.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

Kaysarap maging Pilipino!

Simply Irresistable!

The speculation is over.

Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao has announced on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, that he has already set an agreement with Network giant ABS-CBN to telecast his upcoming fights, beginning with his May 2, 2009 fight with Ricky Hatton.

Pacquiao has announced:

“Nilapitan ko po ang ABS-CBN at nagpasiyang gusto ko sila ulit maging partner. Asahan nyo po na patuloy akong magbibigay ng karangalan sa ating bayan."

Pacquiao's fights were previously aired by rival network GMA and Solar Sports. Moreover, Pacquiao still has to deal with Solar Sports, as he has preterminated his until 2012 contract with Solar.

The details with Pacquiao's contract with ABS CBN, however, is still kept secret, but Inquirer.net has reported that the deal could amount to 120 to 180 M per fight.

Moreover, there is another interesting clause in the contract:

The network is said to have offered Manny full media support in the next election to ensure victory in the next year’s congressional elections.

Pacquiao Vs. Hatton: The Battle of East and West

The Stage is Set on May 2, 2009, Saturday, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Philippine pride Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao battles British prized fighter Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton via a 12-round bout for IBO junior welterweight title on another classic match entitled "The Battle of East and West".




“There is a respect for Hatton and his team but in the ring it is all different. There are no timeouts.

Like all of my fights, I dedicate this fight to my country. I remember as a little boy. I ate one meal a day and sometimes slept in the street. I will never forget that and it inspires me to fight hard, stay strong and remember all of the people of my country trying to achieve better for themselves."

- Manny Pacquiao






“This is a fight between two nice men, but there is nothing nice about either me or Manny when we get inside the ring.


We both have great fans and we will be fighting our hearts out for them that night. I want to do the U.K. proud and come home victorious.”


- Ricky Hatton
