Efren PeƱaflorida is been nominated as CNN Hero of Year Award for his pushcart classroom in the Philippines bringing education to poor children as an alternative to gang membership.  Well, I voted for Efren and I was one of the hopefuls for Efren to win this.  Few hours ago, Efren indeed made it to the top winning over 2 million votes worldwide.  Congratulations Efren.  Indeed this year is full of blessings for all Filipinos around the globe.

Today, Filipino Rodel Mayol, the number 1 challenger for the light flyweight crown in boxing will attempt his 4th time to capture the very elusive title.  Some say he's a bum after losing to Calderon twice for which I disagree.  I predicted Mayol will win this time easily against Edgar Sosa of Mexico and  just as I predicted Mayol won 2nd round via KO and we have a new world

champion now. Congratulations Rodel.

Manny Pacquiao made history on November 15, 2009

The "Pambansang Kamao" or known by many as the Pacman is a now 7-divisional champion, a feat that has never been done by anyone in boxing history. Truly, this victory is an awesome one, as Manny defied logic and silence his critics yet again. I have been following Pacman's career even during the days when is he fought Sasakul, where he won is first belt as flyweight. Winning convincingly and empathetically against a true welterweight in Cotto is something that can not be seen in decades to come. Pacman you truly made the Filipino people proud and Congratulations.
