the all-mexican mariachi band can't accept him after the fight...

interesting news today. the english brawler rick hatton is said to be too eager to fight manny pacquiao. after pacman's impressive win over DLHoya, hatton has manifested his willingness to meet pacquiao inside the ring the soonest time possible. and sports analysts are fanning the flame on that issue. aside from the hitman, floyd mayweather jr. is also said to be mulling over coming out of his retirement after seeing pacquiao as viable challenge. he retired unbeaten recently since nobody else could get him motivated to fight. now that pacquiao has proven his tag as the no. 1 pound for pound champ, he is inspired to fight once more.

but all those talks were disregarded by the pacman. apparently, the pacman is uncertain about fighting either of the two as he thinks neither of them is mexican enough. (he's the mexicutioner remeber?...)

another interesting news today, mediamen who are covering the malacaƱang beat were off-limits at an early cabinet meeting in the palace. the last time journalist were allowed inside cabinet meetings, the palace drew some flak after a secretary unofficially announced the extension of GMA's term beyond 2010 in a prayer.

they might have thought that since the opening invocation didn't quite work, a closed door novena might do the trick.

still another interesting news, DENR secretary lito atienza justifies his absence in the senate hearing on DENR's 2009 budget by saying his competent undersecretaries attended the hearing and he can't leave pacquiao alone in the biggest fight of pacquaio's career.

here's a good idea, why dont they fire atienza from DENR and make his undersecretaries ,who are more reliable come budget deliberations, take his post since they can do the job better anyway? and since he's too busy backing up the pacman.

his presence, as well as the other philippine officials' who were there at the fight was worthless, BTW, 'cause he didn't even take one hit from DLHoya like pacquiao did. good if he was there to catch some of DLHoya's blows, that could have spared pacquiao damage. or he could have brawled with DLHoya's thugs like B. hop, "two pounds" forbes and the rest. that would have earned for him a good excuse from attending senate hearings. but he should be excused only when he presents a medical certification indicating hospitalization for a broken bone somewhere.

that will teach him!
