Pacman Wins, VP de Castro pats him on the back

After the first seemingly uneventful rounds at the Mandalay Bay, Pacman finally scored his first blow to Barrera in the 3^rd round amidst the rowdy Filipino crowd chanting his name. It wasn’t as exciting as his other fights, but I can see my Dad moving up and about his seat as he watched the Pambansang Kamao dance inside the ring with his signature fast jabs and hard-hitting hooks. After 11 rounds into the fight, it was already obvious who the winner will be: the Mexicans have lost their steam shouting Barrera’s name, the commentators were already giving out praises for Pacman’s energy and tenacity and the Pinoys were already jumping, shouting and skipping for Pacman to KO his opponent. Everyone knew yet no one blinked for even a second. Even Barrera’s foul punch didn’t seem to set Pacman off: he was restrained and everyone could see just how composed he was. In the end, Pacman won by unanimous decision: everyone expected that. But honestly, the biggest surprise for me was seeing the country’s VP, Noli de Castro, give Manny that extra ‘political congratulatory pat on the back’ after the official announcement. I was irked. Is this a sign that we will see more of Pacman in future Philippine elections?
