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?

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.

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!)

Mindanaoan Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao will again star in a major Nike commercial — but this time, he will be joined by two other sports giantsNBA star Kobe Bryant and golf sensation Tiger Woods. I may be wrong…but I think that while this isn’t Pacquiao’s first time to do a Nike commercial, this is the first time that he will film a commercial with Woods and Bryant.

As expected, this will be one very explosive commercial…one that Pinoys, most especially Mindanaoans, will look forward to.

This much-awaited Nike commercial featuring Manny Pacquiao, Kobe Bryant and Tiger Woods will reportedly be shot in Los Angeles on July 8, 2009.

Meanwhile, check out this cool Nike superstars commercial featuring Pacman, Kobe, Cristiano Ronaldo, Maria Sharapova and others: (this one’s for Nike Hongkong)

All right, so I was in Cinema 3 of Gaisano Mall of Davao, waiting for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen to begin, when this movie trailer started rolling. I found it so damn funny! It turned out to be the movie teaser of Mindanaoan Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao’s upcoming film entitled “Wapakman.”

And take note…Pacquiao will star in “Wapakman” alongside Pussycat Dolls lead Nicole Scherzinger and WWF’s Batista! Of course, we all know that Scherzinger is part-Pinay and Batista is proud of his Filipino roots as well.

Check out the teaser of Manny Pacquiao’s “Wapakman” movie:

The Pacman will start shooting this film next month, July. Topel Lee will direct.

I’m curious, though…will this movie be shown in time for the 2010 national elections?
