December 1 - 15, 2018 PHILIPPINE ASIAN NEWS TODAY THE TALL ORDER By Mon Datol Senator Manny Pacquiao starts training in Manila this week for his January 19 showdown with American Adrien Broner in Las Vegas with long-time trainer Freddie Roach back in his corner again after the two men abruptly parted ways following Pacquiao’s controversial loss to Aussie Jeff Horn in 2017. Well, in any kind of relationship, small understanding could easily be patched up and in Tagalog parlance this saying…. Babalik ka rin sa aking piling… Could Pacquiao penetrates Broner’s tight defense and connect his rejuvenated potent mitts that stopped Argentina’s Lucas Matthysse in July in Kuala Lumpur? I‘ve watched some Boner’s fights and he’s a copycat of Mayweather’s shoulder defensive stance that protect his chin from any head attack. Like Mayweather, Broner is a very tough customer to handle and Pacquiao really needs tough training regimen to possibly beat this pitbull of a fighter. That’s why… Coach Roach is called to assist Buboy My prediction? Sen. Manny would win and jack-up his still lofty standing in this money-making beak busting business that would also arranged a final showdown with Floyd Mayweather before the end of 2019. Would people still watch the Mayweather-Pacquiao II? Of course! My son-in-law Lenny, Utol Reyfort of Surrey, BC and kumpadre Joey Payumo who’s now here in Toronto would definitely shell out even a $100-fee-for-PPV just to witness our Pambansang Kamao gives The Money Man a beating he won’t forget that would turn him into a…. Walking Black and Blue blabbermouth…. Prez Rody wants to revive ROTC for Grades 11 and 12 to instill discipline among the youth and to prepare them for civic and military services if the needs arise. I agree with PDU30 1001% on the revival of ROTC as the program could be criterion for those senior high students in their desire to pursue military or police jobs after High School studies. Gandang training at preparasyon sa pagpu-Pulis or sundalo, hane po? Naalala ko tuloy when we were in our senior years at San Agustin Academy in Jaen, Nueva Ecija, when I was appointed as the Corp Commander of the ROTC. Mabait daw kasi ang nagiging corp commander, eh! From San Beda kasi ako back to SAA when our mother died in 1967 kaya’t mukha raw akong mabait. Eh sacristan pa ako sa simbahan dahil sa mga Lola kong me lahing Kastilaloy. Kaya hayun! Pag sigaw ko ng ‘Tenshun!’ Takbo na agad si Pareng Joey Payumo, me hawak na siyorpet at umiikot sa mga naka hilerang cadets na naglalagay ng ‘Ten Cents’ pantubig sa hawak na siyorpet. Pasado lahat cadets sa ROTC program! Ang bait kasi ng Corp Commander, eh! LOCAL NEWS  Oportunistang Senador hehehe.. Campaign period for the May 2019 begins only in February or three months before the polls but several candidates have already hired their campaign people to post streamers, billboards and campaign materials in some strategic places very visible to voters. Di lang yon, kanya-kanya ng palutang ng pangalan lalo na mga senatorial candidates sa malalaking radio stations at mga tabloids. Kung baga sa radio music parlance nuon… Payola ng kandidato sa mga bungangero sa radio… But the most influential means of campaigning among the masses is the Survey being conducted by private firms or agency or mass media of which some are connected or relatives to people paying handsome amount just to know his/her standings in the coming election. Good standing or probable winner if…. celebration which it claims would be a successful overthrow of the government. So, President Rody’s order to send state forces to quell lawless violence in the provinces of Samar, Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental and the Bicol region is a very effective move to prevent the communist movement’s propaganda attacks as they sink to ignominy. Iba si Pres Rody eh… Nagpa plano pa lang CPP, hinarang na agad-agad ni PDU30 FINALLY! Back to work na ang mga postal employees ng Canada Post Tuesday after the Senate voted to end The price is right! According to a recent national radio survey conducted by a leading radio station in the country, Bong Go, President Duterte’s PA, placed eighth in a winning circle of 12 senatorial candidates. Veteran politician Mar Roxas was logging back at 13th. Even re electionist Sen. Bam Aquino was a notch lower at 14th place. Talo pa sila nina Jinggoy Estrada at Lito Lapod na nasa top 12. Iba lakas talaga ni Leon Guerrero, mananalo ulit si Pinuno, balik Senado… Sa tulong ng Probinsiyanong si Cardo!!! Political pundits’ quality Roxas’ losing status to the anomalies allegedly committed during the administration of his LP boss ex-President Noynoy, which were exposed when President Duterte assumed office. Roxas’ current unpopularity is also credited to his mindless devotion to ex-PNoy and their common desire to perpetuate the corrupt and morally bankrupt LP in power. Also, Roxas even unwittingly endorsed President Duterte’s administration in his latest public speech, Actually, I want Roxas to win to have a real economist in the Senate, but, sabi nga ng marami kon Chibnese friends… Ala na, Roxas paktaylo na Senado… Bam Aquino is a political opportunist. Back in 2013 when he was a wannabe in political circles, he imitates his late uncle NinoyAquino from his hairstyle, eye glass, bush jackets and even his voice. Bam, after PNoy anointed him as LP senatorial candidate, toured fast-foods outlets, coffee shops super markets, professional games, even public places, pa-pogi points, believing that many people who saw him thought they saw Ninoy Aquino. Nagtagumpay siya nuon, pero now, paktaylo na rind aw si Bam! Mas mananalo pa nga kung… Si Kris Aquino pinatakbo sa Senado. The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) is celebrating its 50th anniversary on December 26 and there are reports that the CPP is planning a grand WWW.PHILIPPINEASIANNEWSTODAY.COM the rotating strike the other day ending weeks of strikes that affected hundreds of thousands of businesses and individuals relying on the deliveries of their products and mails.
