  • The Monkey & The Turtle

          I remember my grandma telling me this story when I was little. Some Filipino folk tales are so messed up!



        Like what's the moral? Don't be greedy or you'll end up impaled? Don't sleep on a tree while next to a shady turtle? Or just don't sleep on a tree period?

  • Manny Pacquiao vs. Ricky Hatton pinoy reactions



       On May 2nd, 2009, Filipinos around the world watched as their native son knocked out Britain's own son, Ricky Hatton in the second round. I was one of those Filipinos who watched the fight. We had a pot luck and everyone in the family came to watch the fight.

        What we didn't do, is record our reactions. I sat in my chair worried for Manny. But as I saw him getting ready with the signature smile on his face, I started to feel that this fight would be his. And after the first round was over, I knew the fight wouldn't last any longer.

        Lucky, a few families recorded their reactions! Here is a glimpse of what went on in Filipino households that day.

    This one looked like a great party:







        I remember right after the fight, we switched the channel to ANC and TFC to see all the reactions of the people back in the Philippines. Amazing, crime dropped, no traffic in the streets, theaters and arenas packed with people watching the fight and celebrating.

        How about you readers? Did you watch the fight? What was your reaction?
