Our Pambansang Kamao, world boxing champ Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, recently guested over at Jimmy Kimmel Live! Jimmy Kimmel Live! is a late night talk show aired over at ABC in the U.S. and hosted by…who else…funny man Jimmy Kimmel himself.
I was able to watch Manny Pacquiao’s interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! via a video sent to me by a friend in the U.S. If you want to check out the transcription I made, check out my Twitter account for my blow-by-blow account
In my opinion, Filipino boxing champ Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao had a good time — in fact, he never stopped smiling and laughing all throughout the interview!
Pacman also shared fun statements during the interview. He said things like he has a dog named Pacman, his superhero character “Wapakman” has a lot of superpowers, that he has more than 30 people in his entourage (hoowow! IKR?) and that each of his “employees” have their own assignments (one is designated to cook, another one is designated to wash his clothes etc). Fellow Mindanaoan Manny Pacquiao also said that he has 8 people living with him in his apartment in Los Angeles, California.
Pacman also sang a song during his Jimmy Kimmel Live guesting, by the way. Thanks to fellow Twitter user heidologies, here’s a video clip of Manny Pacman Pacquiao singing his heart out on American TV:
Can’t help but wonder if Manny’s wife Jinkee Pacquiao and their children were able to watch the guesting live or at least via satellite.
Meanwhile, the highly anticipated boxing match between Filipino pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao and Puerto Riccan welterweight titleholder Miguel Cotto will push through on November 14, 2009 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Thanks to the very amiable Nina (I super, super owe you!) and of course to Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, we were able to play this very special video message for the participants of the Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3. Needless to say, Mindanaoan is absolutely proud of the trust and confidence that Senator Kiko has extended to me. Daghang salamat!
To Nina — Mindanaoan super appreciates this! I know it was difficult to pull this off especially since Senator Kiko was scheduled to arrive from his ASEAN trip HOURS before the start of the summit (he arrived last Friday and the summit was last Saturday) but you still managed to produce this! Daghang salamat!
And to all of the participants of the MBS CDO, enjoy
For official press releases of the recently concluded Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3, do visit ASTERISK Events and Communications.
ASTERISK Events and Communications is one of the sponsors of the said event. They offer public relations, media relations, special events, advertising and outsourcing services. It’s an agency based in the Philippines and has offices in Mindanao and Visayas.
I think these days, more than ever, we Filipinos need to promote our country. Despite the devastation caused by Tropical Storm Ondoy (international code name: Ketsana), we have all seen the spirit of unity and camaraderie in times of crisis. It may take a long time before we can finally recover but we will get there. We just need prayers, political will and unity.
May this “Take You To The Philippines” music video by Black Eyed Peas member and fellow Pinoy Apl de Ap inspire you all. It’s reportedly part of the tourism campaign of Sec. Ace Durano and the Department of Tourism. No mention of a Mindanao city in the song but it’s aight
I like this pretty catchy ditty
Enjoy!
p.s. Congratulations and thank you to Apl de Ap and to the Black Eyed Peas. Congratulations to Sec. Ace, too!
Singer Erik Santos was the special guest during the BPInoy Life Series event in Cagayan de Oro City, Mindanao last October 2, 2009. The BPInoy Life Series event, which was sponsored by Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), aimed to showcase the various services and products of BPI, Globe, Ayala Land and other partner agencies. Attendees of the event were mostly beneficiaries or recipients of foreign remittances (from Overseas Filipino Workers) or entrepreneurs who engaged in businesses that also dealt with foreign remittances.
Here’s a video Mindanaoan took of Erik Santos as he sang “This Is The Moment.” Watch out for the funny part where a guy shouts his “admiration” for Erik
