CHICAGO – I got a lot of flak from some readers for picking Marco Antonio Barrera over Manny Pacquiao last Saturday. Apparently, those morons don?t understand how a column works, or that our democracy still guarantees freedom of opinion.
The irony is that while my critics were stewing, Pacquiao himself was simply amused that I doubted him. ?Trabaho mo ?yan, so okay lang. Hindi tayo perfect at matindi naman talaga si Barrera,? PacMan told me over phone last Sunday afternoon from his Radisson Hotel room in San Antonio.
Sore from his share of lumps, and sleepless following a victory celebration at a nearby Mexican restaurant, Manny sent this message to the Cebuanos: ?Maraming salamat. Sana hindi kayo magsawa sa pag-suporta sa akin.
