I just wanna share it here.

This simple scenario of young people in America asking pictures with Manny Pacquiao shows that he is the greatest athelete we've ever had.

What makes it cool is that those fans are black. If you're into boxing you'd know that the biggest critics of Pacman are black fans. It all started with the debate over who was better between him and Mayweather (the hood's GOAT). Fans from both sides started mocking the fighters with funny meme, Pinoy fans called floyd "gayweather" while they called manny "pacroid". It went on for years and turned into pure hatred from some fans. So seeing some young black fans taking pic with our champ looks pretty fun to watch.

We're up against 2008 Teerasil Dangda, and it's around 60/40 in favor of him. Let's vote for your one and only rep in the Premier League! (I have already voted btw)

grabe lang talaga yung effect sa Olympic wins ni Hidilyn Diaz. good job din sa mga contingent ng Team Philippines, ang gagaling! Sana lang di sila pinapabayaan ng gobyerno natin and sana din may long term plan para mas lalo pang dumami magka interest ng weightlifting.

The closing line of Team Liquid PH's (TLPH) latest video https://youtu.be/GDdcpLsvShk?si=gTR3SBBRTutnsqx_ - 'And to everyone else, doubt us' - feels like a manufactured victim mentality. First of all, their MSC 2026 run was a disaster and arguably their worst failure to date. How do you go from being defending MSC champions and 3-peat MPL PH champions to getting dethroned via back-to-back sweeps in the early rounds?

The issue isn't simply that they lost - nobody is invincible. The real issue is HOW TLPH lost. Let’s be fair: most of us had high hopes for them precisely because of their regional dominance and having the GOAT, KarlTzy, on the roster. What few saw coming prior to MSC 2026 was that other junglers in the tournament would outright outperform KarlTzy. Their match against Aurora seemed to shatter them mentally, which ultimately triggered a second sweep by an underdog team that didn't even reach the knockouts.

It raises a broader question: what is the real weight of domestic titles like a 3-peat or 5-peat if you can't carry that momentum onto the bigger international stage, as we saw with TLPH in M7 and MSC 2026? It's similar to why Kairi is often called the 'uncrowned king' - despite his MPL ID streak and MSC 2023 title, an M-World crown has eluded him, much like how Kelra held that title until M6.

That said, just because TLPH stumbled badly in MSC 2026 doesn't mean they aren't the favorites for MPL PH S18. I won't be doubting them heading into next season. Why? Because until local teams prove there are better junglers than KarlTzy within MPL PH, or better teams vs TLPH, it's far too early to count them out. Coming into MSC 2026, nobody doubted TLPH; they were top bets until an international shift occurred. Domestically, until proven otherwise, TLPH remains the team to beat.

Stop hiding behind a fabricated underdog story to deflect from accountability - nobody doubted your championship pedigree, we were simply embarrassed by your total collapse on the world stage. Nobody doubted you before MSC - you simply failed, got outplayed, and manufactured a victim complex to avoid facing the reality of your own collapse. And now coming MPL PH S18, I will not doubt you, unless what happened in MSC 2026 will happen again in MPL PH S18.

Nag aral sa school nya at pareho pa silang kaliwete. 100% tinuruan at patuloy na iga-guide to ni Rafael Nadal. Si Alex ay number one product for women's tennis ng academy ni Nadal ngayon. Sya ang lalong magtataguyod ng academy kaya siguradong lahat ng sikreto para maging best ay ibubuhos ni Nadal sa kanya. Lahat ng sikreto nya sa pagiging kaliwete ituturo nya kay Alex. At mukang growing na ang confidence ni Alex mula ng umangat ng umangat sa world rankings. Naffeel na nya yung calm confidence na being a top player. Pag world number 20 ka na, di ka na malayo sa world number 1. Sa level na yan halos ka equal mo na ang mga top 10. Any day pwede na sila matalo sa yo. And that shows nung natalo na nya pati world number 3 at Olympic winners.

Matatalo pa si Alex. Mapuputol ang winning streak. Pero kailangan yun para maging best sya dahil marami pa syang dapat matutunan. At dahil nasa likod nya si Nadal na makikinabang din pag tinuro nya lahat kay Alex, mas lumalaki ang chance na papunta na sya to become number one and truly be Alexandra the Great.

At dala pa nya lahat ng magugulo at makukulit na Pinoy na manonood tuwing laban anywhere in the world. Home court advantage sya anywhere in the world. Laking bagay nun for her confidence; and distraction sa kalaban.

Dati mukang hindi pa apparent na pwede sya at this level of tennis. Pero ngayon, lumalabas ang talent nya talaga. Lalong nakaka-believe na one day magiging ka-level na nya si Pacquiao as a world-class athlete.

Sunod-sunod na din ang mga usap nila sa mga sponsors and aspiring sponsors kaya $$$$$$$$

Congrats sa parents and family ni Alex. Amazing job on her.

And with Pinoys behind you Alex... TO THE MOON!

From grit to glory. Another battle. Another breakthrough. Alex Eala turns pressure into power and walks away with the win. Hard-fought. Heart-driven. History-making. The Filipina star keeps rising—one courageous point at a time. Let’s go, Alex! 🥎🇵🇭

Salamat sa laban, Alex. Even in a straight-sets exit, you showed the heart of a fighter. Every break held, every hard-earned point, and the pride you carried for the Philippines still shine brighter than the final score. Losses are just chapters — champions keep writing the next one. We’re with you. The best is still coming.🇵🇭🥎
