Everytime there's a Pacquiao fight, all Filipinos are set on their TV screens, just watching his boxing fight. I once had a chance to drive along the streets in our place on the day of Pacquiao's fight and the streets seem deserted. There's no traffic, no accidents, no crimes and there are only few people are on the streets. That's the power of Manny Pacquiao over the Filipino people.

Pacquiao's fight with Hatton is set tomorrow and I am sure the whole Philippines will watch his fight over a white for the first time. I wish him luck. Good luck to the Filipinos around the world. Let us pray pray for his good fight over Hatton a white boxer from the United Kingdom. God save the queen.

A miracle, right? Every time, Manny Pacquiao has a fight, our country seems to take a rest for a little. This is not just in Metro Manila. One time, I was in Palawan when Manny had a fight and our scheduled meeting have to be canceled because everyone have to watch the fight. It even turned out weird because even the foreigners in the hotel we are staying have opted to stay put (no island hopping, no diving) to watch the fight too. What does Manny have to call every Filipino's attention whenever he has a fight? I don't like boxing at all, but I too, can't help but watch and enjoy his fights. Yes, I'll be home tomorrow and I will definitely watch Manny make Filipinos proud again. That's "Pacquiao Magic".
