Funny Pacquiao and his Biblical pseudomnesia

One Bible quoting pastor... err, senator na itago natin sa pangalang Funny Pacquiao has questioned and probably voted against the confirmation of DOH Secretary Ubial. The reason: Ubial's son, Karl, has posted something in the social media that irked Pacquiao. 

The post merely shared a GMA News article on Pacquiao's comment on the hero's burial for Marcos, and made a caption saying: "Only God can judge Marcos. Supports judgment through death penalty."


Now it has become clearer: The mother's career should be thrown to the gutter for her sons alleged ugly comments. Parang North Korea where a family is punished for the sin of one of its members.

Pero teka, under na ba ang Pilipinas sa North Korea? Last time Tikboy checked, the Philippines has already threatened to kick out EU ambassadors, if not actually threatening them to leave within 24,  in preparation to becoming  hermit kingdom?

Pero balik tayo kay Pacquio. Bible quoting sya. Ibig sabihin nagbabasa ng Bibliya? Bat parang nag-skip sya sa verses kung saan nasusulat:

For the LORD is our judge, The LORD is our lawgiver, The LORD is our king; He will save us-- (Isaiah 33:22)

That just confirms Karl Ubial's caption that only God can judge Marcos. Or Karl should say: Only Pacquiao can judge Marcos?

Worse, Pacquiao has also skipped the verse in Proverbs 10:14:

A wise man holds his tongue. Only a fool blurts out everything he knows; that only leads to sorrow and trouble.

Otherwise, if he really didn't skip the verses, he should have also shared the same to the king.

A violent man as an ambassador of peace?

Let's admit it: Boxer Manny Pacquiao brings glory to the Filipinos. Unintentionally. Pacquio wants to be a US citizen and nobody can deny it. But bringing unintentional glory to the place where he was born does not automatically qualify him to be an ambassador of peace.

Yes, ambassador of peace. Inquirer.Net, quoting Lorelei Fajardo, noted:

Pacquiao will be officially named "ambassador of peace" when he pays a courtesy call to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in Malacañang on Wednesday.

Wala na bang maisip ang palasyo para maki-ride on lang sa kasikatan ni Pacquiao? On what logic did they base the idea of calling a man who punches another an ambassador of peace? A person who was so willing to be named a military sergeant an ambassador of peace?

Kung sabagay, it's like the "I am sorry" story. No, not GMA's "I am sorry". It's the story of two sons the youngest of whom was boxed by his kuya. The youngest then made sumbong sa nanay nila na sinuntok siya ng kuya niya. The nanay asked the kuya to make sorry kay bunso. And the kuya did. Noting that it's just normal to punch a person as long as there is an apology, the youngest boxed his brother with all his might and after doing so, said "I am sorry". Then he boxed his elder brother again and again saying "sorry" after every punch. Ayos di ba? But try hitting GMA and say sorry after doing so and see where you'll be next.

Pacquiao or "pakyaw"?

In a way, Cong. Rufus Rodriguez of Cagayan De Oro is implying that Manny Pacquiao is going into commercialization. If the Pacman-Golden Boy fight pushes through, Rodriguez said: The way I see it, this is only money for Manny Pacquiao.

If pera-pera lang yan kay Manny, so what? It's his fight anyway. Ba't di niyo na lang tutukan pag-gawa ng batas. The people are not paying you to make pakialam sa buhay ng may buhay...

Pero teka... ano ba itong report na "GAB chairman Eric Buhain said the board made a resolution stating its position against the fight, when it learned of the fight scheduled in December."? Why, is Pacquiao under the supervision of GAB? Hmmmnnnn :-?

Worse, me dagdag pang statement na ganito si Buhain: Alam po naman natin Pacquiao is a national treasure and we want to ensure his safety.

Helleourrrrrr???????

National treasure si Pacquiao? Yamasita treasure? And , concern sa safety? Bakit yung mga athlete natin na under ng GAB kulang sa safety? At yung mga workers na covered dapat ng GAB kulang din sa safety?

It seems that these people receiving the taxpayers' money as salaries are misled. Can you please go back to your manual of operations and look into your functions? Baka nasusulat man lang diyan...

Insensitive

Manhid. This is the best description for sitting-president Gloria Arroyo.

During Manny Pacquiao's courtesy call to the Malacanang, Arroyo gave Pacquiao the appointment papers to be the flag-bearer of the Philippines to the Beijing Olympics. Pero may problema pala. Nauna nang kinausap ng Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) si swimming sensation Miguel Molina na maging flag-bearer. Ikalawa, based on the rules, only accredited members of the country delegation are allowed to be flag bearers. Pacquiao is not. So is Arroyo ill-advised? O gusto niya twist the rules again like what she did when she called Garci?

Hellouerrrrr!!!!

Kaya pala di rin siya umaalis sa puwesto kahit marami na ang clamors na umalis na siya sa upuan. She is sooooo insensitive. Manhid.

Meron naman pala talagang rason kung bakit alagang-alaga ni Chavit Singson si Pacquiao. Sabi ng katabi ni Chavit habang nanonood sila ng laban ni Pacquiao ang naririnig niya daw na isinisigaw ng dating governador ay "MONEY! MONEY! MONEY!"
