Pacquiao’s fight brings people, officials together
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Despite his defeat, Manny Pacquio never fails to bring people and officials together.
In Porac town, the free live viewing of the fight between eight-time world champion Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley was met by the usually thick crowd that trooped to various locations here, bringing their own chairs and even home-cooked food in a seemingly community picnic.
Mayor Condralito dela Cruz and Vice Mayor Dexter David hosted a free viewing of the fight at the Jose Songco Lapid Sports and Civic Center that was attended by hundreds of spectators.
“This is our yearly way of bringing people together as one community,” David said.
Food was also sponsored by the local officials as families trooped to viewing areas to watch the fight.
Councilor Mike Tapang also hosted free viewings at Babo Sacan Gym, Sta. Cruz, Pulung Santol, and Manibaug, drawing the usual large crowd.
Tapang has been hosting such free viewing events since a couple of years back, offering locals a chance to see the fight live.
“The live viewing aims to bring the people together in support of Pacquiao. No matter what the result is, the people will surely stay behind him and support their champion,” Tapang said.
Lourdes Lansangan, a resident here, said that even in defeat, Pacquiao was able to unite locals in supporting him and expressing their pride of being Filipino.
“Even though he was defeated, we are still behind him and support his future fights,” Lansangan said.
Lansangan said she was grateful to the Porac officials for hosting such regular free viewing of the Pacquiao fights.
Meanwhile, Candabeños have also gathered Sunday at the Ms. Earth Park in Barangay Mandasig, this town, to watch the fight.
The live telecast was hosted by Mayor Jerry Pelayo and son Patrick.
“Lagi naman itong ginagawa ni Mayor Jerry. Basta may laban si Pacquiao ay nakakanood kami ng live sa park ng walang bayad,” Dexter Santos, a resident here said.
Pacquiao’s fight, they said, is always a “unifying factor” here, in terms of political stand and affiliation.
“Halo-halo na kami rito. Mayroong maka-Pelayo at Busog. Andyan din ang ilang supporters ni Pareng Rene. Para sa laban na ito, nagkaka-isa kami. Wala munang pulitika,” a Pacquiao avid fan here, who asked not to be named, said.
Small entrepreneurs, on the other hand, thanked Mayor Pelayo for bringing together a huge number of people to see Pacquiao and Bradley fight, which give them opportunity to earn several hundreds of pesos.
“Walang tao sa palengke kaya dito na lang kami nagtinda. Madalang lang kasi maipon ang ganito karaming tao kaya sinasamantala na namin ang pagtitinda,” Benny Cantor, a fish ball vendor said.
Another “palamig” vendor also claimed that she earned at least P500 in three hours until after the Pacquiao and Bradley fight.
Meanwhile, people here remained unconvinced with the result, believing that it was Pacquiao who really won the fight.
“Pacquiao pa rin kami. He landed more punches compared to Bradley. Siya pa rin ang panalo para sa amin,” Santos added.
Bradley grabbed the spotlight from Pacquiao as he dethroned the Filipino boxer with a split decision at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Sunday (Manila time).
