Mindanao is my native land. This is where I belong, feel secure and am at peace. To be in Mindanao is to feel the embrace of a warm, soft blanket.

Mindanaoan - Blogging the REAL Mindanao!


Are these photos of Filipino boxing champ and new world welterweight boxing champion Manny Pacquiao and sexy starlet Krista Ranillo just for their upcoming movie, “Wapakman,” or what? Are these just for publicity or are they really having a secret love affair?

I’d hate to think that the latter is the answer.

After winning his recent bout against Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico, Pacquiao and Ranillo have become tabloid fodder.

Do you think these photos of Manny Pacquiao and Krista Ranillo in Baguio will taint Pacman’s Sarangani congressional plans?

Fellow Mindanaoan and world boxing champ Manny Pacquiao is back on the cover of TIME magazine. An article about his rise, fame and everything else in between can also be found in this most recent TIME magazine article about this Filipino boxer and the best pound for pound boxer so far.

Check out wifey Jinkee’s name on his arm! :)

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is set to face Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto on November 14, 2009 at MGM Las Vegas, Nevada. If he wins, this will be Manny’s 7th worth title in different weight classes. 

Which reminds me…where will you watch this Pacquiao vs Cotto fight?

Just in case you missed the Pacman’s guesting on the late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, check this out.

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.

Hollywood star, HBO “Entourage” producer and former rapper Mark Wahlberg loves a fellow Mindanaoan, too! This picture clearly shows just how big a fan of Filipino boxing champ Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao Mark Wahlberg is!

Check out the print on Mark’s shirt: “Pacman Knows

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen Mark openly support the Pambansang Kamao, though. I’ve spotted him on TV doing the red carpet along with Pacquiao.

Thumbs up!

Too bad for people who want to watch Mindanaoan superstar boxer Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao share the silver screen with Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger (a Filipino-American-German). Solar Films’ Wilson Tieng has confirmed that Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger has dropped out of Manny Pacquiao’s Metro Manila Film Fest entry, “Wapakman.” Sayang!

That could’ve been a great movie to watch…just imagine our fellow Mindanaoan Manny Pacquiao squaring it off with Nicole!

Also, Tieng has confirmed that Fil-Am wrestler Dave “Batista” Bautista will also not be in the movie.

I’m not too sure if this Topel Lee-helmed movie has started shooting already. In any case, I still hope that Filipinos will still watch “Wapakman” even though Batista and Nicole aren’t part of it anymore.

Here’s the trailer of “Wapakman” (pretty funny!)
