Pacquiao calls it quits with a very convincing win over Bradley

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">MANILA, Philippines – After 11 months of hybernation and switching his focus on the National Elections next month, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao still managed to drop his arch-nemesis, Timothy “Desert Storm” Bradley twice and win the WBO International Welterweight Championship belt on Sunday afternoon (Manila Time), April 10, 2016 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiInaeti_fNiv7mm2Mt_E_RBvxL5uEmpU8I8ad5QW0_dE9eHS-DLm6CMYRrCGR3UdjyXKoCwBLdPTQWZiUlsLYITBnCXIxzCrdaEiOfz_XZ1Vmi9r3drb5qdaLl9snxnsJ0LaYzrT-qS3uw/s1600/pacquiao-calls-it-quits-with-a-win.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Manny Pacquiao vs. Bradley" border="0" height="380" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiInaeti_fNiv7mm2Mt_E_RBvxL5uEmpU8I8ad5QW0_dE9eHS-DLm6CMYRrCGR3UdjyXKoCwBLdPTQWZiUlsLYITBnCXIxzCrdaEiOfz_XZ1Vmi9r3drb5qdaLl9snxnsJ0LaYzrT-qS3uw/s640/pacquiao-calls-it-quits-with-a-win.jpg" title="Manny Pacquiao vs. Bradley" width="560" /></a></div><br />The Word Choir sang the Philippine National Anthem that put all the Filipinos present in MGM Grand Arena as well as Manny Pacquiao while he was in his dugout on their feet with pride and enthusiasm while American Idol Season 15 Trent Harmon performed the “Stars Spangled Banner” in acapella also.<br /><br />Tim Bradley was the first fighter to be introduced by the event announcer, Lupe Contreras, sporting his purple and gold trimmed trunks. Pacman Pacquiao on the other hand, fashioned his new look boxing shorts without the familiar “swoosh” logo on it. But, for his shoes, he still preferred Nike because of mobility and comfortability reasons. Couple of months ago, the most popular sporting brand, dropped Pacquiao from the list of its world-class athletes - endorsers due to his derogatory comments on the LGBT community.<br /><br />When the bell rang, it looked like that the two boxers just met for the first time as they sized-up each other in the opening round. Not much action and highlight on the first three minutes of the bout.<br /><br />Bradley, honed by Teddy Atlas, Mike Tyson’s former trainor, totally changed his fight style for this bout. He looked more aggressive offensively in the second round throwing good jabs and body shots at Pacquiao. Manny connected a short left to Timothy’s chin at the 15th - second mark which served as the Filipino’s lone highlight of this round.<br /><br />Pacman opened the 3rd with a left straight followed by another short left but Bradley countered with his own short right. Manny started to get aggressive and pursued “Desert Storm”. It was Tim’s turn to hunt but Manny made him missed from all angles. <br /><br />Manny has finally gained his momentum and started the 4th with decent shots at Bradley. Pacquiao might have lost his killer instincts but his speed remained and became an asset in dodging Bradley’s flurry of punches. 40 seconds remained in the round and Manny continued to pepper his American opponent with stiffed combinations to the head and body. <br /><br />Tim push-punched Manny as the 5th canto started that put the Filipino’s back on the ropes. Bradley continued to move forward and connected few good hits to Manny’s body. Both fighters were on attack mode and traded fists in the last 30 seconds of the round. Audience were on their feet as the gladiators exchanged punches. The bell sounded but both boxers didn’t want to end the slug fest that made the paying patrons jubilant and wanting for more action.<br /><br />Midway of the contest, Bradley initiated the contacts. While Manny was so focused and obviously waiting for an opening that could stun Timothy. But the Filipino’s defense was so tight and indestructible. Bradley was purely hitting Pacquiao’s hands. Pacquiao was lucky to evade Bradley’s attack with the help of his upright guard and quick shuffling feet.<br /><br />With five more rounds remaining in the bout,  Manny Pacquiao sensed an urgency to impress the judges to win his farewell fight. He scored with a right straight and left hook that connected directly to Bradley’s face. But the latter countered with his own left that hit Pacquiao’s chin.  Manny utilized his blinding speed combined with barrage of quick hands that made Bradley outbalanced at the the 10th – second mark. Referee Tony Weeks counted it as a knockdown in favor of the Filipino ring icon.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja4lMKz1NRkxbvdHsl262mmPkCURCSds8htM3tJUfX_4_KCQ0WYIREn5Jh4dvvhtRpyekg10HsRUtlswTLRzi8-iuHJeAjCi6srrOYqiOfImI9QllImtWVFdadMpTkRAB-Q9q-Mcgjlsve/s1600/pacquiao-calls-it-quits-with-a-win1.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja4lMKz1NRkxbvdHsl262mmPkCURCSds8htM3tJUfX_4_KCQ0WYIREn5Jh4dvvhtRpyekg10HsRUtlswTLRzi8-iuHJeAjCi6srrOYqiOfImI9QllImtWVFdadMpTkRAB-Q9q-Mcgjlsve/s640/pacquiao-calls-it-quits-with-a-win1.jpg" width="560" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption">Manny Pacquiao decks Timothy Bradley for the first time.

Timothy, had his own business to do in the ring as well. He poured it all out at the last 44 seconds that resulted to a good round for him.<br /><br />Sensing that he was behind by plenty of points, Timothy Bradley continued to be aggressive in the 9th round. Incredibly, Pacquiao was connecting his punches even while he was stepping back and avoiding Bradley’s counters. At the 50th second, Pacman dropped Bradley hard on the canvass with a short but strong left hook right in the American’s wide-opened and defenseless jaw. That was Pacquiao 2nd scored-knockdown that gave him ample lead on the judges score cards over Bradley.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7heSb-bgWwoSrFhIwULBaeo_TxR-7m6Mg93tPQTMaKPDxptic_9UqTIm60nqGWcOtci7iZQZwU45SfAga8-uI9u9MI4eKJAE4-UE_U95eDugxQ7dEpQ4e5g7cCpYFmNIbuoHGNZsqVOS3/s1600/pacquiao-calls-it-quits-with-win-photo+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Pacquiao connected with a strong left short to Bradley’s chin." border="0" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7heSb-bgWwoSrFhIwULBaeo_TxR-7m6Mg93tPQTMaKPDxptic_9UqTIm60nqGWcOtci7iZQZwU45SfAga8-uI9u9MI4eKJAE4-UE_U95eDugxQ7dEpQ4e5g7cCpYFmNIbuoHGNZsqVOS3/s640/pacquiao-calls-it-quits-with-win-photo+2.jpg" title="Pacquiao connected with a strong left short to Bradley’s chin." width="560" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption">Pacquiao connected with a strong left short to Bradley’s chin.

So, they will both last for 12 rounds and will depend on the judges score cards.<br /><br />There’s no way there will be a KO tomorrow even a knockdown. But, this will not be as boring as Pac – May fight. Since this serves as Pacman’s farewell bout, experts think that the gods of boxing will heavily favor the Filipino pugilist and will go home as the winner of the grudge match. But in one way or another, the title which will Pacquiao most likely win will be immediately vacated as he is vying for a senatorial seat and declared to focus more on politics and his bigger roles once elected as a senator. </div>

Pacquiao aims for the big win in his farewell fight against arch-nemesis Bradley

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">MANILA, Philippines – With exactly a month to go before the National Elections, Congressman Manny Pacquiao, who’s trying his luck to win one of the 12 senatorial seats will first have to settle things inside the ring against the former undisputed WBO Welterweight Champion, Timothy “Desert Storm” Bradley on April 10, 2016 (Manila Time) at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVXlnVQqWgqowSoPpMn1A_jLRj2wcUt9CgB87dKpTU127fpBFFGKAvLowgl7obnziubsxAv3GD352CvV0ZEPtFaZ_a9vHjgKogxQb44OFYQnJpBERx6IMYVnE_bucygI7E-Lrb19fplLpl/s1600/pacquiao-aims-for-the-big-win-leadimage.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pacquiao vs Bradley 3" border="0" height="338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVXlnVQqWgqowSoPpMn1A_jLRj2wcUt9CgB87dKpTU127fpBFFGKAvLowgl7obnziubsxAv3GD352CvV0ZEPtFaZ_a9vHjgKogxQb44OFYQnJpBERx6IMYVnE_bucygI7E-Lrb19fplLpl/s640/pacquiao-aims-for-the-big-win-leadimage.jpg" title="Pacquiao vs Bradley 3" width="560" /></a></div><br />Pacquiao and Bradley will face each other again for the third time and this bout will serve as the rubber match with both of them beating each other once. Although, boxing analysts said that Pacman should’ve won the first and second fights by obviously outboxing the American fighter. But, the judges had given the split decision to Bradley during their initial encounter that made this rivalry quite controversial. The two classy welterweights will slug it all out for the vacant WBO International Welterweight title.<br /><br />This will be the People’s Champion’s first fight after losing to Floyd “Money” Mayweather in May last year. Aside from the humiliating lost to the trash-talker Mayweather, Pacquiao had a surgery on his left shoulder which he sustained during their clash in 2015. While Timothy Bradley atoned himself after getting a beating from Pacquiao on their second face-off by ousting Jessie Vargas in June 2015 and knocking out Bradon “Bam Bam” Rios in November of the same year.<br /><br />Bradley, outclassing and putting Rios to the canvas is not a shocking and quite amusing news for all boxing pundits. Going back in 2013, in Macau, China, Pacquiao schooled Rios in their match dubbed as “Clash in Cotai” and won the vacant WBO International Welterweight Title.  With this, we can say that. No one’s got the extreme advantage here. Everything is even. But the catch is, the “Desert Storm” has the winning momentum over the “Fighting Congressman from the Philippines”.<br /><br />Morning of April 9, 2016, both protagonists have been weighed in and passed the weight limit mandated by WBO for their weight class. Pacquiao looks leaner at 145.5 lbs while Bradley looks super solid and buffed at 146.5 lbs.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp1n9zuAS85tZLv7IRFGxTHhhtwOESMLoUdBPERiPI1xGyn4Ute0LgI-t6QMSnJJxJqXwXRVPSuGwWEXBnVBH3SlX5uI7zMEE1MJueQ_If5XLb_RyUqNB6StZE0CPjKnjMgqrHHPnB5nQQ/s1600/pacquiao-aims-for-the-big-win.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="The fighters’ bodies say they’re both ready to rumble.

It might be because of Pacquiao’s most recent comments on the LGBT community and issue. Another thing is, the Filipino ring icon has already passed his prime and not as exciting  to watch as his epic bouts against the Mexican legends almost a decade ago where Pacquaio’s killer instinct was still in his veins. As the infamous DJ Mo Twister has aired, “this is the only Pacquaio Fight where there will be heavy traffic on EDSA”.<br /><br />Nevertheless, Pacquiao is still a fellow Filipino who will wave the Philippine flag on international stage and must be supported all the way. A true fan is and will always be on his idol’s side win or go home.

We tried to search for the actual account name on facebook but it is no longer active as of publishing time.<br /><br />Should the abortion and the persons involve are true, they will be both liable for the crime that they have committed. As per Article II of the 1987 Philippine Constitution says, in part, "Section 12. The State recognizes the sanctity of family life and shall protect and strengthen the family as a basic autonomous social institution". It shall equally protect the life of the mother and the life of the unborn from conception.<br /><br />The act is criminalized by the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines, which was enacted in 1930 and remains in effect today. Articles 256, 258 and 259 of the Code mandate imprisonment for the woman who undergoes the abortion, as well as for any person who assists in the procedure, even if they be the woman's parents, a physician or midwife. Article 258 further imposes a higher prison term on the woman or her parents if the abortion is undertaken "in order to conceal [the woman's] dishonor."<br /><br /><b>-Joey Boy Capos, The Summit Express</b></div>

At the the designated post, a Special Board of Elections Inspector will check the identity of the registered voter by biometrics. After verification, the voter can get his or her ballot and a ballot secrecy folder and proceed to the voting area to accomplish the ballot.<br /><br />In Philippine foreign service posts with automated election system, voters may feed his or her ballot to the vote-counting machine (VCM). On the other hand, posts using a manual election system are required to fold their ballot in the same way as they received it and put it inside the ballot box.<br /><br />In host countries/cities using postal manual election system, registered voters will either receive mail containing their ballot or pick up their ballot at a designated area. The voter shall accomplish his or her ballot and put his or her thumbmark in the space allotted on the ballot’s lower portion. The ballot coupon must be detached from the ballot and placed inside the ballot envelope. This should be sealed with a paper seal. <br /><br />The accomplished ballots should be properly folded to avoid damage and mailed to the Philippine foreign service post concerned.<br /><br /><b>Here’s a list of the  Philippine foreign service post around the world in support for Election 2016.</b><br /><br />Philippine foreign posts that will use an automated election system:<br /><br />AMERICA<br /><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Agana, Guam</li><li>Chicago, USA</li><li>Honolulu.

Duterte presidency: How far is it now from reality?

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">In 2004, former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo won against the late action star Fernando Poe Jr. for the seat in the Malacañan with just a margin of merely one million votes. Fast forward 2016, FPJ’s daughter, Senator Grace Poe is now on top of the game after unseating the long-time frontrunner in the surveys who is Vice President Jejomar Binay. But this doesn’t call for a celebration, as Poe is not alone at the top. Alongside him is Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, the two-decade ruler of Davao City, who is tagged as the dark horse of this year’s presidential race.<br /><br /><b>"<i>Kabahan na kayo</i>," One Cebu promises 1-million votes for Duterte</b><br /> <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQwRpQRhD_3dKeZds3q7OzrnOEF-1BEhRD_nq4qMV-QYc4HVHFkaqdplr3KpqTvGhUTs4kKdBo94a5CDTBREzCMMjgS7kTK-vi9EUGCLE3CJULlnWQyfxx63bTl6zvgvhRXK3mYBRjAMQ6/s1600/duterte_EDITORIAL.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQwRpQRhD_3dKeZds3q7OzrnOEF-1BEhRD_nq4qMV-QYc4HVHFkaqdplr3KpqTvGhUTs4kKdBo94a5CDTBREzCMMjgS7kTK-vi9EUGCLE3CJULlnWQyfxx63bTl6zvgvhRXK3mYBRjAMQ6/s640/duterte_EDITORIAL.jpg" width="560" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption">Photo credit: Sunstar news online</td></tr></tbody></table>This was uttered by a jubilant Duterte after learning that the Garcia’s One Cebu party placed him as their bet upon dumping Vice President Binay. Who couldn't be happier indeed? After all, Cebu is the richest vote province in the country that can give any candidate a huge advantage in this very tight road to replace Aquino.<br /><br />With an approximate number of 2.7 million registered voters, the Garcias, one of Cebu’s influential political clan is very much able to play a vital role in discerning on who will be the 16th ruler of the Philippines. <br /><br />The endorsement of the Garcias to Duterte is a big blow to Binay and Roxas. The endless accusations of graft and corrupt practices against the vice president and his family pulled Binay’s position down in the recent surveys as he now ranks either from the 2nd and 3rd spots. Roxas’ campaign on the other hand will become more fragile after failing to secure Cebu’s support.<br /><br />With Duterte almost securing a million vote from Cebu, Roxas’ presidential ambition may be in grave peril as his campaign has the Visayas region as its core. Although still the top player, it cannot be deny by the camp of Poe that the Garcias support for Duterte will spell a difference on the upcoming surveys being the presidential frontrunner prior to Election Day.<br /><br /><b>Duterte shares the limelight with Poe on Laylo survey</b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6FwuBFdCz8JppmRg5DhVy-Js2hMN-9HugXV7USOpLBn-FXGHI_TuSYSkPiTEg1Xx5oyNzQjNkyFapEIFbwHgU-skMF05lrPpOqxeXYHolRcRpr1RTxtbw_BOChJGna8Xy_q3C46EXEtII/s1600/elections-2016-banner.png" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Elections 2016 candidates" border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6FwuBFdCz8JppmRg5DhVy-Js2hMN-9HugXV7USOpLBn-FXGHI_TuSYSkPiTEg1Xx5oyNzQjNkyFapEIFbwHgU-skMF05lrPpOqxeXYHolRcRpr1RTxtbw_BOChJGna8Xy_q3C46EXEtII/s400/elections-2016-banner.png" title="Elections 2016 candidates" width="400" /></a></div><br />Statistically tying for the top spot, Duterte received an overwhelming 30 percent share in the recent survey conducted by the Laylo Research Strategies. Following him is Poe with 27 percent.<br /><br />Roxas, Binay and Santiago only obtained 21%, 18% and 2% in the survey which has a plus or minus 1.8% margin of error.<br /><br />Although Poe’s camp remained confident that she will ultimately bag the presidency, the result of this latest poll should be an issue of concern. The survey was done from March 26 to April 1, just a few days after the second round of the presidential debates in which Duterte proved to be a crowd-stunner with his antics and answers on various issues.<br /><br />Now that Duterte is exemplifying himself as a true alternative to replace Aquino’s Daang Matuwid governance, the possibility of his camp to receive swing votes next month aside from acquiring new entrants to support his campaign now is becoming more than possible.<br /><br /><b>MBC-DZRH survey names Duterte as top choice</b><br /><br />Aside from his striking rise in the Laylo survey, Duterte scored another victory from the public after emerging as the preferred choice of the public in the latest survey commissioned by the Manila Broadcasting Corporation and its radio broadcast arm DZRH.<br /><br />With a larger base of 7,490 respondents nationwide (the Laylo has 3,000), Duterte won by registering 36% preferential points against Poe (28.2%), Binay (15.3%), Roxas (15.2%) and Santiago (3.5%).<br /><br /><b>The components of a Duterte presidency</b><br /><br />From Binay to Poe, now a sketchy vision of a Duterte presidency is materializing. Digong’s eminent rise to the game was not exponential as Poe, or meticulously planned as Binay but rather, it was an organic growth which was nurtured by the contagious spirit of his supporters from the grassroots sector clamoring for real change and those from the middle income which have become more discerning than the previous seasons. Add to that is the experimental nature of some of the biggest names in the business sector who are interested to see on how a Duterte-style leadership will make the Philippine finally a roaring tiger economy.<br /><br />The final stretch of the campaign already opened as the nationwide campaign for the local positions has just begun. The machinery of LP and UNA of Roxas and Binay will surely pour out all their resources to catapult their bets on top.<br /><br />Poe will try to bank on the unfinished business of his father and keep the interest of the public to her by pointing out on how to solve the issues that the incumbent administration will be leaving behind to its successor.<br /><br />Santiago, as what she said in one of her campaign rallies during her 1992 run, will eventually try to prevail or perish on her most likely final attempt to clinch the presidency with her millions of social media soldiers.<br /><br />But Duterte’s strategy is different, he may not have Binay and Roxas’ machinery, he only spent a hundred million pesos as of this moment for his campaign, nor he came from a celebrated line of popular stars but his colloquial way of expressing his opinion and flamboyant demeanor whenever he presents his self to public, the way he adds his own touch in addressing public issues and his ability to dismantle any forms of mudslinging against him made him more reachable to public. <br /><br />And when they see him embodying their aspirations, the more he becomes real to them and the more they put their trust on him, regardless of how he will deal with the snatchers of Recto or how he will punish the thieves in our convoluted bureaucratic system. <b>- Michael Santiago, The Summit Express</b></div>
