Congratulations to Team Philippines for winning the World Cup: Philippine vs Mexico, 5 – 1. Only “Boom Boom” Bautista lost in a shocking 1st round KO vs Ponce de Leon. Mabuhay and Pilipinas! I hope they continue to pound their way in the world stage.
Also, I watched earlier in “Umagang Kay Ganda” that a resolution is being passed by Congresswoman Darlene Custodio regarding a pension plan for retired boxers who won a World championship. If this will be agreed upon by Congress, our boxers would get 15K a month. This is good news especially since there are dozens of boxers who are in desperate need of financial help. According to Custodio, they have already around 20 in their list.
