Some people just couldn't help but be tickled with the latest rumor in the winning Pacman's life. His reported love affair and romantic involvement with the aspiring actress named Krista Ranillo. Beth Celis of the Inquirer, quoting people close to Manny Pacquiao, wrote last Friday, Nov. 13: “Not only does she [Krista] wipe his face and body during workouts, she also feeds him like a baby during mealtimes,” said the well-informed source." Not a few people saw the two of them in romantic Baguio City where Pacquiao trained for weeks. Sources in the sports ... Continue Reading...

The tale of the tape is complete after today's weigh-in of the Philippines' pride, Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao and Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas.

I seem to have gotten mixed reactions from my friends about this new product in the market called corned tuna. The purists say it defiles the sacredness of their favorite corned beef. However, it must be noted that local canned tuna manufacturers have long made variations of Filipino dishes - among them tuna afritada, sisig, Bicol Express, adobo, mechado, to name just a few. The fact that they continue to fill up our supermarket shelves attest to the fact that people flock to them like they would feast on a Jollibee hamburger. Especially people who swear by a strict ...
