The Aftermath of Pacquiao's Victory

It's been more than a month since Manny Pacquiao, had won his 3rd match-up against Erik Morales. Pacquiao's victory affected our country's politicians. Among the list was Chavit Singson. He went to Las Vegas just to watch it live as a sign of his moral support to him. Looking to it deeply, it's not actually a necessity for him to go and support Pacquiao personally. Do you ever wonder why politicians use Pacquiao as kind of a medium? It is merely because of Manny's great influence to all of us that's why they use him to channel their agendas for our country. Not only Chavit Singson does this, even Mayor Lito Atienza's son, Ali Atienza, who will campaign for this year's election tags along with Manny during the motorcade. Another one was Congressman Miles Roces who drove Pacquiao's Porsche to the Quiapo Church after the Manila motorcade. See that? Politicians like them use Pacquiao just to attract the masses thinking that doing such could possibly help them win this year's election.

This is very rampant as of the start of this year. In respect to the Black Nazarene and the devout politicians to the Saint--streamers, tarpaulins and other paraphernalias are scattered over the metro just for running candidates themselves will be known to the public. They sort of took advantage of the feast. Nothing can be done by the Comelec, because no such law is appropriate to prohibit the running candidates for this type of an early campaign. Let's just see what will happen for the next few weeks on how they will make use of every way possible to be made known to the public.

Happy Feast Day to the Black Nazarene.
