Manny Pacquiao Next Opponent

After his fresh victory over Shane Mosley, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao will be facing Juan Manuel “Dinamita” Marquez. Boxing fans wanted Floyd “Money” Mayweather but this fight will not be possible anytime soon since Mayweather still doesn’t want to face Pacquiao and all he does is hurling rumors about Manny using performance enhancers. Enough about that coward, we don’t know if we will ever see this fight to happen! Hopefully Mayweather will face Pacquiao soon before he decides to retire because he is not only an athlete but also a Congressman in the Philippines.

Pacquiao’s next opponent will be Juan Manuel “Dinamita” Marquez and these two fighters have a score to settle. Marquez gave Pacquiao a hard time in their last bout, had lost one fight and had a draw against the now pound by pound boxing champ. Manny Pacquiao Vs Juan Manuel Marquez III is surely a fight to look forward to because these two fighters are known to give one hell of a boxing match.

Charice praised for rendition of 'Lupang Hinirang' at Pacman’s star-studded match

MANILA, Philippines – Singer Charice Pempengco made sure she won’t suffer the same criticism that Filipino singers did before her in singing the national anthem publicly.

Chosen to sing the Philippine National Anthem at the Manny Pacquiao-Shane Mosley fight at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, the petite pop star remained faithful to its marching tempo—in the process getting the thumbs up from the National Historical Institute (NHI), the government's culture and development agency.

"Tamang tama po ang ginawa niya. Nakuha niya ang talagang bilis at ‘yong tempo," said Teddy Atienza chief of NHI’s Heraldry Section, in an interview with abscbnnews.com.

Prior, Pempengco admitted to being careful about doing a wrong rendition of the anthem. “Medyo kailangan talaga ng focus sa pagkanta ng national anthem. Tamang tiyempo, kailangan talagang prepared kasi maraming naging issue about sa pagkanta,” said she.

According to Section 37 of Republic Act (RA) 8491, the rendition of the national anthem, whether played or sung, should be in accordance with its original musical arrangement as composed by Julian Felipe.

Among those criticized for allegedly doing wrong versions of the anthem were Martin Nievera, Arnel Pineda, Sarah Geronimo, and Lani Misalucha.

Pempengco wasn’t the only popular personality present at the Pacquiao-Mosley fight. Jimi Jamison, original singer of the band Survivor, rendered Pacquiao’s favorite song “Eye of the Tiger” for the latter’s entry into the ring. Singer-rapper LL Cool was on hand as well to do a different song for Mosley.

Other celebrities spotted watching the bout live were Paris Hilton, Mike Tyson and Laila Ali, with Hilton even posing with Pacquiao for the cameras. Local celebrities such as Pacman's buddy Chavit Singson also came to the event as with Lani Mercado and Ramon "Bong" Revilla, and Vicki Belo and Hayden Kho. Lito Atienza and Atom Henares were also present together with their respective sons, Ali and Quark.

Other celebrities simply made their awareness of the fight known via Twitter.

British TV personality Piers Morgan tweeted, "Manny in six rounds. #pacmanpower"

His prediction didn’t prove accurate however as the fight went the full twelve rounds.

Former US envoy to the Philippines Kristie Kenney excitedly posted, "And now it's time for the Pacquiao fight! Off to watch with friends. Go Manny!!"

Others like retired boxer and former Pacquaio opponent Oscar dela Hoya chose to tweet post-fight.

“Well people there you go my respects to manny good efforts.and just want to say " I told u so," dela Hoya tweeted.

Celebrated writer Paulo Coelho tweeted, “Congratulations Filipinos! Pacquiao rules.”

American Idol, Lee Dwyze, who was in the country for a concert during the fight couldn’t help but sing praise for the Pacman.

“Pacquiao is the best in the world. Can’t really argue with that,” said he in an interview with GMAnews.

Pacquiao Against Poverty

The world's top pound for pound boxer announced that he will be working with Gawad Kalinga for a poverty-free Philippines by 2024. "The biggest fight in my life is not in boxing. The biggest fight in my life is how to end poverty in my country. And this Saturday I will wear yellow gloves as a symbol of unity and hope to end poverty. I am joining Gawad Kalinga to help build homes and provide livelihood for the poor," Pacquaio said.

Manny shared that when he was still a child he had to fight just to eat. Pacquiao grew up in General Santos City and wasn't able to finish high school due to poverty. He then left home when he was 14 because his mother was not making enough money to support a family of six children. He then started boxing and made the Philippine national amateur boxing team.

“When I fight, Filipinos, they call me a Bayani or a Hero. I believe this world needs more heroes,” he said as he invites everyone to wear yellow on his fight day to signify the cause that he is fighting for.
