While the whole Filipino nation is hailing Manny Pacquiao as a new hero and even Manila Mayor Lito Atienza has announced that the city will erect a Manny Pacquiao statue to honor the boxing champion after his destruction of Erik Morales, a 19-year-old Filipina blogger said the Pacman does not deserve such adulation.

She called him a “monkey.”

Reacting to the news report about the Manny Pacquiao statue on Baywalk, she says on her blog, Mysteryosa.org:

Does winning a boxing match enough for someone the likes of Pacquiao to achieve national hero status? Is it even fair to forget the other athletes who have offered their lives to make us proud and instead focus on this one monkey who throws mean punches every now and then?

The Mysteryosa blogger, who only identified herself as Shari, currently a BA Journalism student in UP Diliman, has gained a lot of supporters to her anti-boxing view, and among the comments posted on her blog questioned Atienza’s motive in riding on Pacquiao’s popularity.

Said another comment:


A statue of a boxer? That is just crazy. They are basically encouraging violence, not preventing it.

BREAKING NEWS:
PinoySpy Tabloid was informed by the blogger at PinoyStupid (see his comment below) that he, and not Mysteryosa, was the first to call Manny Pacquiao a monkey, in an article titled “Pacquiao. Champion of the monkeys.” Although the PinoyStupid blogger did not directly call Manny Pacquiao a monkey, his title insinuated that his fans are apes.

He said:

Hey, I called him a monkey first. Him and his fans. LOL.

With this latest development, the public is now confused who called Manny Pacquiao a “monkey” first? That distinction is now being disputed between Mysteryosa and PinoyStupid blogger, and the PinoySpy Tabloid, being a non-partisan in this issue, will settle the dispute between the two bloggers.

Atienza last Thursday announced that the city government will erect a statue of Pacquiao on Baywalk, a popular park along Roxas Boulevard facing the Manila Bay, to immortalize his contribution to Philippine sports.

“It’s about time that we honor this man who once again brought honor, pride and inspiration to our nation,” Atienza said.

Atienza said a national artist would be commissioned to create the statue, which would be bigger-than-life size.

When erected, the Manny Pacquiao statue will share the limelight on the Baywalk with statues of former Manila Mayor Arsenio Lacson, former Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr., former Antique Governor Evelio Javier, and a five-piece bronze sculpture depicting the Filipino family.

But the Mysteryosa blog said “boxing is a violent sport, a bloody one, and we’re actually hailing Pacquiao for sharing the instinct serial killers posses.”

<<-- MP should not be blamed, Lito Atienza instead... poor MP

Give me her address and telephone number....

...Is she another Mexican hiding in the skirt of her promoter?

Suggestion : Don't click on the link!

I hope that biatch get spammed. Some people think they are educated just because they graduated with a degree. This beetch certainly is not educated. Manny from rags to riches, coming from 3rd world country, everybody know's his story. Filipinos from all over the world can certainly like Manny. Knowing his story, alone inspire everyone from the Philippines. whoever chooses Manny to be their hero or idol. That is their choice. Manny becoming an icon in the Philippines is not his choice. It is the people's choice!

Well as the saying goes......YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE....Lets just not mind them...

I AM NOT AGREE EITHER MAKING A STATUE FOR MANNY....WHAT DID HE CONTRIBUTE TO THE PHILIPPINES??? JUST AN ENTERTAINMENT AND THE WINNINGS JUST KEPT BY HIM NOT EVEN ALLOTED TO OTHERS,,,,I PREFER ST LORENZO RUIZ TO HAVE A STATUE COZ HE IS THE FIRST FILIPINO SAINT.

what really hurts here is that she is messing up with MP who she's co-filipino

Manny's not encouraging violence!
When he fights, what is everyone in the PI doing?
Watching him, safe in their homes, not commiting any crimes

That's democracy in action!

But calling Manny a 'monkey' is below the belt. To wit, it's not Pacqiuao who trigger the wrong buttons on her brain, its the politician.

Besides, she shows her deep ignorance in the Psychology of serial killers. Pacquiao has none of those attributes neither the game he practiced.

another classic example of kulang sa pansin. Pay no attention to them and surely they will start crying and will go away. Mga Talangka.

Its ok to create a statue of manny cause he brought honor to our country that no one ever got close to doing so and created hope for striving people that wants to follow his footstep. So whats wrong here? I think its because Lito Atienza is a politician that could use Manny's popularity to his advantage...

lets just move on... dont mind her hihihihihihi papansin

if she call manny a monkey, then what she is? Female monkey.

People have different traits you know and not everyone is into boxing...

I am also not in unison for someone to build a monument for Pac though I consider myself a die hard Pac fan as my coworkers and family would agree.

I also have a friend in Pinas and I emailed her if she watch the fight and she said " No, what is there that is good in boxing, is hurting someone good? Is making other people (loser) depressed good?"

I just let it go you know...Deal with it and never influence or judge others...

Just don't mind them,... they want some attention you know...
