Manny Pacquiao, we pray for your triumph

Today is Sunday, November 15, 2009. If you look around Malaybalay, Bukidnon, Philippines, the streets are beginning to look like "Good Friday" atmosphere. This implies everyone is at home or somewhere they can eat and at the same time view the fight. Malaybalayan is sure this scenario is the same all over the country.

13 million dollars for Manny Pacquiao should he win while Miguel Cotto would receive half of it and vice-versa.

Manny, we pray for your triumph.

Would you believe, Malaybalayan prefers to see the replay? Before, the family would always shell out hundreds of pesos for pay per view.

Not this time. In the meantime she will pray while the fight goes on. This way she will not shout at the top of her voice while her heart will throb with so much excitement she can hardly breathe. She has learned to use another strategy. After all she is so sure Manny will emerge the victor.

So go on, see the live version of Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight in Las Vegas while the rest of us will stay quietly in our corner, praying the rosary or saying own prayers all for our hero, Manny Pacquiao. Malaybalayan is sure Manny's Pacquiao mom, Dionisia is also hidden in one of the rooms, praying with all her heart.
