I didn't like Manny, I like it when he wins though. He makes me proud.
I don't like his mother too, I thought she was so cheap and a socialite wannabe.
Not until I read this month's issue of Time magazine. Our teacher in our Developmental Writing class wants us to analyze the story and somehow get to know better one of the most interesting Filipinos of our generation.
I was reading the first paragraph when I predicted that there's more in store for me. The story was very well written, by the way, the title of the article is "The Meaning of Manny" and their were questions like, 'is there more for him in politics'. The quotations are so nice, Freddie Roach was also mentioned, Chavit Singson, Manny's sister and of course the ever famous Mommy D.
After reading the article, my perspective about Manny changed.
Manny is the face of all the OFW workers out there.
Manny is the face of all the Filipinos who worked hard to feed their family.
Manny is the mirror of the simple Filipinos who had dreams and wanted to follow it.
I hope we'd all like be Manny... be successful.

realizations :) coolie..
something happened to my previous comments?
^you have previous comments? haven't seen it. (:
You know what, I used my iphone to post that comment. I suspect that post didn't go thru. Anyways, I suggested that Manny should hire a tutor to help him out with his conversational English. With his international popularity, frequent interviews puts pressure in him to improve his verbal English. Just a thought, no offense.
He should! I think he should study at Silliman. LOL.
Another thing, I hope he doesn't run for Congress!
Pacman really makes every Filipino proud.
