The Philippines daily life was on hold today as most Filipinos were glued to their televisions watching their favorite boxer, Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao. This was THE program to watch.

I watched every match today, ending with the Pacquiao fight. Filipinos dominated the ring, winning in all the matches against their Mexican opponents. And I'm not even a boxing fan.

I couldn't believe how many people were packed into this little house. Heck, I couldn't get in or out of this room until the last fight was over. Every relative in a one-block radius (without a TV) was here.
