At 9:10am, a tele-radyo “news anchor” bantering with her co-anchor said that tickets to the Manny Pacquiao were (in an excited voice) “sold out in a matter of minutes!!!”… It’s ten seconds po, not “minutes”, the tickets were sold-out online in a matter of ten seconds – it is written right there on the graphics right below the frame of your own newscast… read… it’s running while you’re talking, it’s been there since yesterday. The co-anchor was just as clueless and merrily agreed. To be fair, a few minutes later, in the other tv station, the news reporter live from Los Angeles on follow-up said the tickets were sold out in ten minutes while the crawlers below the frame of their own newscast said the tickets were sold-out in “one minute”. The news anchor was as just as clueless and looking “thoughtful”, agreed. Read po, yun lamang.
It’s like running with a sack of rice stomping on your chest.
i don’t know why Manny Pacquiao does this —
your muscles become their strongest
but breathing here feels like being under a tank, pressed.

“ “Marquez ready to begin new chapter in career”. When I first read the title, I thought I was in for a treat – this should be easy to critic on how biased the article is because Marquez is the man that defeated (by knock out) our ‘national pride’, ‘national hero’, ‘national gem’ or whatever you want to call it. I was expecting an article where the journalist will constantly link back on how Pacquiao defeated Marquez before, how Pacquiao was unfortunate to lose; basically an article that is biased against Marquez.
“To my surprise, this article is very well written – no bias, focuses on the news it’s reporting on – Marquez moving on in his boxing career, and his fight with Timothy Bradley. The article was mostly quotes – on what Marquez said about his fight with Pacquiao and also about his next fight against Timothy Bradley. The main point of this article is Marquez vs. Bradley, and the reporter did well not to dwell long on Pacquiao vs.Marquez. There was a brief mention of the history of the Marquez-Pacquiao fight but there were no unnecessary details of the fights. The words used were precise in describing the situation and does not misguide or mislead the readers to ‘support’ Marquez or Bradley or even Pacquiao.”
