Thousands of night workers and those who went to school and offices in the morning were still stranded and unrescued. Major highways were shut down due to floods and aftermaths of the typhoon. NAIA terminals have also cancelled flights and domestic flights around the country were stopped.

In some areas near the biggest dams in the metro which overflowed, the floods have reached up to six feet.

Pacquiao vs Mosley Live Stream Start Time, Schedule

Pacquiao vs Mosley boxing fight is scheduled on May 7, 2011 Saturday 9PM ET/6PM PT at the MGM Grand arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA for the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Welterweight Title. The fight will be shown live on Showtime PPV / CBS. The fight, set at 147-pound limit, is scheduled for 12 rounds.

Pacquiao vs Mosley Stats, Specs, Preview

Manny Pacquiao vs Shane Mosley Stats, Specs, Preview – Shane Mosley has 46 wins, 6 losses and 39 KOs while Pacquiao has 52 wins, 3 losses and 38 wins by KO. Pacquiao will be defending his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title against Mosley, who is aching for a victory following lackluster ring performances in his last few fights.

Pacquiao won the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) super welterweight championship-his record eighth world title in as many weight divisions-last November via dominant unanimous decision over three-time welterweight champion Antonio Margarito. Pacquiao captured the World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title in November 2009 with a brilliant 12th-round knockout of four-time world champion Miguel Cotto.

As usual, Pacquiao will be using his tried and tested advantage in speed and power to defeat Mosley. This is Pacquiao‘s main weapon when he brought down some of the best fighters of his time. His victims are Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez, Erik Morales, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Joshua Clottey and Antonio Margarito. But despite Manny’s perceived advantages, he’s remained wary of Mosley’s capabilities.

On the other hand, Shane Mosley is relying on his experience, also his speed and power against Pacquiao.

Pinoy Netizens Guide to May 10 by #juanvote

Please pass this. Thanks!

These are my reactions regarding the Manny Villar Kandidato Job Interview.

On Personality

What I like with Villar is his consistency. His answer on which Philippine hero does he idolize is Andres Bonifacio, who like him, came from the poor, worked hard and is very brave. He has also shown me how great of a father and a family man he is – he brought his kids well, he said his happiest times are being with his family and children especially when they are all together celebrating New Year and Christmas.

He has also shown how strong-willed he is that every single time he discovers his weaknesses, he always makes a way to combat it by himself. He wants to remain strong. He also stresses on how he dislikes hypocrites who are telling things which they cannot adhere to in the future. He also despises arrogant people. When he was asked on the things that he wants to change in himself – he naturally said he doesn’t bother thinking about it especially now that he’s old because he always finds a way to adjust and combat his weaknesses. I find this very important as a president should be disciplined and goal-oriented, that if he focused on something – he will for sure get the job done.

When asked about luxuries, he said that whenever there are new things he encounter, he will normally try them just to experience the feeling but he won’t get addicted to it. This goes to show how simple his happiness can be. He doesn’t need luxury. Yes, he may have gret cars or houses – but its normal for someone like him who rose from the poor to aspire for a better and more comfortable setup.

He was also asked what is the greatest thing he has ever done for his country. He said that he had already fulfilled his ambition to be wealthy and that is for himself. What is important is that after that, he has helped a lot of people and he considers it the greatest thing he has ever done and that is why he needs to get the President seat so he can help a lot more people and he can fulfill another ambition which is ending poverty in the country.

On Platform

Regarding on platform, I loved how he emphasized the importance of leadership, management skills and capability to inspire – competence. This then separates him from other candidates who has similar platforms with him. He definitely makes us believe he has all the approach and techniques he can do to solve our problems. It boils down to the ability to lead and run the country, the experience in governing a populace. He also stressed that there are candidates who can easily memorize the platforms made by their sorties, he emphasizes on what he has done is the best basis on what he can do in the future.

Also, his takes on different national issues were practical and he answers in a conversational and natural way – he answers not to impress but to express and inform. He also plans in eradicating corruption in the government and impress people that in the first hundred days of his term, everything will be transparent. He also defended himself from rumors of his corruption of government’s funds when he said “Hindi ako kumuha ng pera ng gobyerno.”

His consistency in his ambition to help the poor is very obvious all through out the interview focusing on education needs, employment and health care. He always has stands and stands which are practical and attainable. He also stresses on the fact that he has sufficient knowledge on the economy and management as well as business which can really make our foreign debts less and our economy to rise.

His take on population and the RH bill is somehow unique from other candidates. He believes it should not be imposed as a country will remain sturdy and successful even if the population is big – what’s important is the competency and the ability to lead and run the country. He also solidified the fact that he is not the administration’s pawn and that there is no Villaroyo when he answered that charter change is not a priority in a very calm and natural manner. He believes that in a country, a great leadership is needed as a country should be sturdy and surviving regardless of any form of government.

If you want to know more about his platforms and his answers on issues and rumors his detractors are spreading, watch the videos – in a very natural and calm way, he had explained everything. If you take a moment just to look at him and with the way he speaks, he is definitely impressive. You will see how important this is to him – to help people and for his advocacy to come true. You will see how prepared and focused he is and how he has made valiant steps to reach his goals. I believe that Manny Villar is one of the candidates who is ready to become our next president. He is one of the fittest, if not the fittest for the president seat.

Regarding the hosts, I see a tinge of bias treatment with regards to Arnold Clavio’s follow up questions but the rest have maintained proper panel techniques and they were great in motivating their interviewee to answer. Anyway, this investigative journalism approach is fun to watch though

If you are still undecided if you are voting for Manny Villar, maybe this ten reasons to vote for Manny Villar can help you. If you are still misinformed regarding the different issues plaguing Manny Villar, you can go here for his answers and look for the videos at the bottom of the page.

You can also try to compare and contrast his interview with Noynoy Aquino Kandidato Interview which you can find at the link provided.

One of the votes we need to take into consideration and put our mind into in the upcoming elections is choosing the partylist which will represent a certain sector of our country – a partylist which will stand by its principles in serving people and upholding the interest of the sector they are representing. My default vote goes to AVE this upcoming elections.

However, there are hundreds more to choose from, a certain percentage is needed for one partylist to win a seat or more in the upcoming elections. That is why we need to ponder on which partylists are not that popular, but of relevant interest – which represents the many and needs our vote.

Kabataan partylist for example is expected to harvest a lot of votes from the youth. I am certainly sure that this partylist would be given at least one seat in the congress. However, there are those like Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketer’s Association party list (LPGMA) which definitely needs our vote and the senior citizen party list might also make a better choice.

A lot of people may not know a lot about LPGMA but it is pretty timely to vote a representative from their end as the prices of the commodities are going up nowadays.

LPGMA is one of the groups who monitors and makes tangible results in preventing LPG price hikes. This then makes a huge difference in all households in the entire country – and you may not even notice they exist. That is why if you vote for them, you are also making a difference – a big leap, actually!

If LPG prices go unchecked, more people will resort to using alternative cooking methods. These include cooking with wood, especially in rural areas, where it contributes to the continued denudation of the forest, adds Arnel Ty.

If you suddenly think that LPGMA needs your vote, then maybe you can better understand them more by following LPGMA 161 Twitter and liking LPGMA 161 on Facebook.

According to Knowledge Channel president Rina Bautista, they are expecting attendance from the most prominent figures in business and the government today, each of which will be contributing their thoughts on meeting the expections of the 21st century in different sectors of the country such as education, population, peace, environment, health and governance. Lead the Change 2010 will be collaborative effort to provide basic knowledge that would be detrimental in moving the drivers of minimizing poverty in the country.

Ms. Peggy Rockefeller, founder of Global Philanthropists Circle and Synergos Institute will be the guest honor for the nioght whiole Oscar Lopez, Chair of the Lopez Group of Companies and Chair of the Knowledge Channel Foundation will also be there to inspire the viewers to Lead the Change this coming year.
