Have you noticed? More and more Filipinos are being recognized as heroes despite not having risked their lives like guys like Jose Rizal and Ninoy Aquino. These modern Filipino are recognized not for their martyrdom but for their passion and contribution in nurturing and teaching their fellow Filipinos especially the less privileged. Here is my top 5 modern Filipino heroes.

The stumbling block in the most-awaited boxing fight in recent history, the planned Manny Paquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather, Jr., has been the insistence of Mayweather’s camp and the refusal of Manny Paquiao to undergo Olympic-style drug testing which requires blood testing and not just urine testing. What really is the difference? Read urine testing vs. blood testing in Paquiao vs. Mayweather at Pinoy Seminars.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada, United States—Manny Pacquiao will not fight Floyd Mayweather next March because a blood testing stalemate wiped out what could have been the richest fight in boxing history, promoter Bob Arum said Thursday.

The planned showdown between Filipino hero Pacquiao, a seven-division world champion, and unbeaten US star Mayweather could have brought each fighter as much as $40 million in a rare Las Vegas mega-fight spectacular.

Arum, Pacquiao’s promoter, said Mayweather’s request to have stricter US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) testing methods, including possible random blood tests within days of the bout, killed any hope of reaching a deal.

“It’s over,” Arum said. “As far as I’m concerned the fight is over.”

Here are some photos of Pacquiao vs Cotto.

See them at http://palaisip.blogspot.com

I’m sure by now you’ve all seen the fight between Pacquiao and Cotto. It was an amazing fight and this is the first time I’ve actually seen a fight from start to finish for Pacquiao.

I thought the first round was kind of iffy for Pacquiao where he was hit by Cotto a lot. At the end of the fight though, Pacquiao said he purposely let Cotto hit him to test how hard he punches. Pacquiao is one crazy guy.

This is the reality of majority of poor Filipinos. In a country where the President and her entourage spends $20,000 for a dinner. It’s unbelievable that people still live like this and eats garbage to survive.

Did you hear about this story? A 6 year old boy climbed into his family’s home made experimental aircraft that had a large helium balloon attached to it and the tether came loose.

The FAA is working to track the balloon. Here’s a video report http://palaisip.blogspot.com

CC (no, not Creative Commons or carbon copy) is a broad term. One can argue that climate change is a natural process. True enough, because if there were no climate changes in Earth’s distant history we probably wouldn’t be here today. Imagine if our Planet never had rain, or say Earth stayed hot and never had ice ages. Maybe the dinosaurs will still be alive today, and instead of us humans on the top of the food-chain, we will probably be on the top of someone else’s diet!

Climate Change is good then, because it keeps this planet alive and it keeps it balance. But why are we discussing about it if it is a good, natural process? Why all this fuss? These seminars, Blog Action Day, and scary videos that the Earth is going to die soon with humanity in it if we don’t do something?
