UPDATE! ‘Twas a dream no more. Manny Pacquiao yet again, was an animal full of fury in the ring–beat Miguel Cotto to a pulp, face bloodied, till the referee called a stop to the game, 55 seconds into the 12th and final round, a technical knock out. Manny was speed to the nth, a genius–I [...]

That was 8 October 2009, almost a month ago– when Ateneo won its Second Back-to-Back Championships (a 71-58 win against the UE Red Warriors, UAAP Season 72).

A lot of people have criticized and made fun about the way Manny Pacquiao spoke (and continues to speak) in English–from interviews, to speeches, to commercials, and even the way he talks with people.  I never saw him wince a bit when he talked, no matter who the biggies were who talked to him or [...]
