The road was empty, no sign of busy people. It was a quiet Sunday when we arrived to General Santos City. Though it was my first time to go to the city, I easily predicted where the people were. They were at their homes watching the big event that could once again bring glory to the Philippines, the Pacquiao-Solis fight.

My predictions were right. When we went to the KCC mall of GenSan, a large crowd caught my attention. They were in a particular store and they were cheering so loud as if they were in a 'sabungan'. I had no idea what they were upto, who they were cheering, or whatever.






As we got closer, all my questions were answered. They were watching the fight in the television, and they were cheering for, of course, the pride of GenSan- Manny 'Pacman' Paquiao. I think the cheering helped even of the fight was in other country because he won.

It was alarming to see that the whole place, the whole city in particular, evolved around the 'Pambansang Kamao'. I can see his campaign banners everywhere, his face everywhere, and I think in a place like GenSan- people can conclude that this is the place where Manny Pacquiao started.

I started to think about him being a Congressman. If he will win the election, he may not bring back the glory to himself and to our country. He won't be able to fight like what he has been doing for the past few years. I'm not saying that people shouldn't vote for him. Just think first before voting for him.
