Brief reflection from NEW YORK via Facebook – Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao was flanked by the two brightest sportswriters from the Philippines, Nick Andrew Giongco and Abac Cordero. But they did not prevent the distraction from robbing him, although they sat near enough to switch the focus of the camera man. They claimed they are “ex-Menudo members”, the famous singers who visited Philippines in the 1980’s from Puerto Rico. One of them was Ricky Martin.
While exchanging banalities, Pacquiao brushed his palm and fingers on the piano, finding a moment to the subtlety of his mind. A shadow fell: His new hairstyle, still, is the talk of the media since his arrival in Los Angeles. It’s one of Justin Beiber’s.
But, really, it’s one of Bruce Lee’s. Yes, the stronger side of its shade. Perhaps he had simply casted off the cloak of invisibility he had somehow assumed, to the softer style of Beiber’s.
And the said two scribes exchanged less than just furtive smiles. It’s the fondness.
All three had sustained a tone of humble, not bemused, yet honorable smile.
Yes…just when they arrived in New York last for the third media gig the following day all for the Pacquiao-Mosley boxing event on May 7 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Stay tuned for more!
