My newsboy said he watched the Pacquiao-Barrera fight on tv in a carinderia in Lahug (that’s about seven kilometers away from where I live). “Nagdahum ko nga humanon ni Pacman og sayo ang away pero niabot man og l2 rounds,” he said. “So mao nga nalangan ang pag deliver ko sa news.”

He explained: “The Mexican has been world champion three times and is a future Hall of Famer, but Manny until this day has not yet won a world title, except for the less prestigious international super featherweight title.”

And some parents have been compelling their kids to come home to roost early.
