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.

I’m referring to the Philippine version of the Family Feud at GMA 7. I am asking myself if ever they DO really go outside (of their office/station) to find 100 people to survey. Why? Well, if you are watching the show, you might see the reason why I am asking.

Sometimes, what you thought was a popular choice, was not included in the answers. While those that you never heard of are there, with high scores even.

I really can’t pinpoint any specific items at this point because I can’t remember. Like I said, if you’ve been watching the show, you’ll see what I mean.

Honestly, I don’t think they do. I sometimes even think that the ’surveys’ are being answered by a writer or a group of writers who put whatever is the first thing that enters their mind and just assigned points correspondingly.

Of course, I could be wrong. It’s just my opinion.

But do you really believe they would go out everyday, just to ask 100 different people?

Just asking.

The current roster of Celebrity Duets contestants include MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando. Well, among the current crops of president wannabe’s, BF is my most probable bet. What with his no-nonsense political will that enforces law no matter who gets hit. That is why he caught the ire of a former MMDA chairman (also a wannabe), because BF has accomplished what was only in his drawing board, to say the least.

But BF’s inclusion in the Celebrity Duet is I guess not a very smart move, as far as his political plan is concern. Sure, he can carry a tune, but that’s not the point here. I fear that this will actually be used against him, politicians being the ever-resourceful and creative people that they are, can turn this action of the MMDA chairnman to their advantage.
