The Struggling Blogger

I wish this would all be over. I’d like to let it go… the fight is a more important point of focus.

Even if GMA 7, in every minute and every hour, rubs it on every news flash that Manny Pacquiao stayed with them… it is all over. Let’s just wait for the fight, and hope that this does not affect him… but suddenly, it’s ABS-CBN fault!

That is how it seems to be, or how he wants to put it, when Pacquiao said ABS-CBN broke its promise! What promise is that? A promise that ABS-CBN will not televised Pacquiao’s interview with them in which he say that he will rescind his contract with Solar in their favor.

How long can one man hold his place at the top? How long can he depend his position against those who are after it? If you are a great fighter like Manny Pacquiao, chances are, you can hold on to it as much as you want.

But what if your enemy is yourself? Is Pacquiao causing his own downfall? Is he trying to destine himself for un-grateness?

Recent development in his upcoming fight against Ricky Hatton reports that Pacquiao dumped Solar Sports Entertainment in favor of ABS-CBN. Solar used to take charge of airing Pacquiao’s fight in the country, and they have the final say as to which local TV station will get the right to air it.

Although the recognition came much later, I still believed that the presidential medal of merit is a much deserved award for the Philippines’ King of Rap Francis Magalona. This posthumous award is given to the Master Rapper for promoting nationalism through his songs.

“The medal recognizes the nationalism and love of country that is there in all his performances,” Press Secretary Cerge Remonde told ABS-CBN News as reported on their site where I saw this latest update on Francis M.

Indeed, his songs has awakened the spirit of nationalism in today’s youth. Songs like “Mga Kababayan” “Ito Ang Gusto Ko” and “Man from Manila” are just some nationalistic songs which became the national anthem of a lot of young people then… and in the generations to come.

If you noticed, I never used the word ‘late’ in reference to The Man, because I believe… his legacy is just starting…

Yes, The Struggling Blogger will be on Rated K this Sunday, October 12, 2008. Although this blog won’t be featured there, but my other blog will be, which is the Letters To Mama.

I am really surprised as to how they chanced about my blog. Contacted me, and before I knew it, I’m included on their next Sunday’s episode. Rated K is shown every Sunday at ABS-CBN Channel 2, at around 6pm. (am not sure about the exact time).

I was interviewed by Miss Korina Sanchez herself. Just watch it this Sunday. Be sure to have your hanky with you.

I wish I can expound more here, but to be honest I really don’t how it will turn out or how it will be shown. I hope it won’t be something that I am going to regret someday.

So that’s it! This Sunday, October 12, 2008 at Rated K, it’s a date!
