MANNY Pacquiao and Tiger Woods are celebrators this month. On Dec. 17, Pacquiao turns 33 and on Dec. 30, Woods will be 35.
Expect fireworks from Pacquiao?s camp, but not from Woods?s.
Pacquiao remains entrenched at the top as the eight-division world boxing champion?thus, the expected boisterous celebrations in his three major homes in Metro Manila (near Brent in Binan, Laguna), in his native GenSan City and in Sarangani Province, where he is the district?s lone congressman.
It?s a celebrity galore once more for the reigning world welterweight champ, whose bearded face has become the face of the world sports map.
It?s been that way for almost five consecutive years already. During each of those birthday bashes, Pacquiao had raffled off P1 million in cash to several of his well-wishers, not to mention cars and other lucrative prizes as giveaway bonanzas.
The fighting congressman has never been that generous.
If Jinkee, his beautiful wife, would spend P5 million each for the three feasts this year, that?d still be chicken feed. They?d hardly make a dent on Pacquiao?s bankbook, which is fattened, as always, by mega fights commanding multi-million peso purses since Pacquiao established himself as the world?s one and only ?Mexicutioner.?
