• Pacman, Dela Hoya, MILF, Ramadan, and 30 Million dollars.

    I would love to see pacman win, but I wonder what happens if he lose, Anyway, win or lose, pacman would not make much of a difference in the life of the ordinary people and the masses.
    - Win or lose, pacman would be $50 million richer, while those who win by betting on him takes home a few thousand bucks, others take home nothing.
    - Win or lose, pacman will continue to sign up for commercial endorsements and will continue to amass large sums of money, while ordinary citizens continue to feel the effects of inflation and sky-rocketing prices.
    - Win or lose, pacman will be receiving a heroes welcome and will be look upon as a national treasure while soldiers and rebels dying fighting for their cause will be forgotten.
    For a change, I would like to see pacman lose, and I want to see how his political backers react.

    The holy month of Ramadan has already started, Muslim leaders begged government military forces and MILF forces to temporarily ceasefire for the sake of the celebration. The AFP issued a statement that they will not stop the operation in hunting the renegade MILF commanders. Suppose Pacman and Golden-Boy fights everyday for the whole month of Ramadan, I’m pretty sure even if we will have a peaceful Ramadan even if nobody asks for a ceasefire, how Ironic.

    How big is $30 Million? It’s just Php1.35 billion. If 1 sack of rice is Php2500.00 it would be able to buy 540000 sacks. If the pacquiao family can consume 1 sack of rice per day, it would take them 1479 years to consume it. So provided they only need to supply for themselves rice for 100 years, then they still have $27 million spare. If a liter of gasoline cost Php60.00 then the $27 million spare can buy 20.25 million liters of gasoline. For the same period of 100 years, the pacquiaos would spend $5 million more dollars inflation not included. They still have $22 million dollars more. If a mansion costs Php20 Million pesos, and pacman would build 1 for each children, for his wife, for his brother and father, making it 7 mansions all in all, it will cost $3.2 million dollars, and we still have $19 million, provided the US government asks $10Million from pacman as tax, he is still left with $9 Million, that is still Php405 Million. WHEW!!!

    I once envisioned of genetically engineering a breed of rooster that would not fight, so people would stop gambling. But my friend Louie told me, even if two gamblers are tied and they saw a dew on a leaf, they will still bet if the dew falls or not. Who made the human race gamblers by nature?
