Quit While You’re Ahead
March 15, 2010
Yesterday was a hot, heatstroke-inducing Sunday morning. My parents and I gathered around the TV to watch one of the biggest events so far this year – Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey. I’m imagining all the rest of the Filipino people are also anticipating and expecting an exciting fight, whether they were in a posh sports bar in the city or in the comfort of their own homes or cramped with fellow sweaty spectators inside a non-airconditioned and poorly ventilated gymnasium. Probably middle-aged men were already preparing their booze, knowing for sure that the Pacman will kick Clottey’s ass. Watching a Pacquiao fight was like having a national holiday here in the country. The streets are clean. No traffic jams. Few people on the streets. Even the crime rate is said to drop every time Manny has a fight.
