Blessing in the GenSan Sky

Our pambansang kamao, Emmanuel “Pacman” Pacquiao, all pumped up at 5’7” and 130 lbs. of raw power got knocked out in the early rounds by a petite dusky female looker named Darlene Magnolia Antonino.

Incumbent South Cotabato Congresswoman Darlene Antonino – Custodio is well on her way to her third term after flooring congressman wannabee Pacman. A fellow La Sallite, she belongs to a family of politicians – her grandfather was a former senator, father was an ex-mayor and ex-congressman and her mother served in congress as well. At 33 years old and with already a 6 year experience in congress, she is the one of the youngest representatives if not the youngest in the history of the lower house.
Internet gossip says that Pacman spent P100 million pesos in his failed attempt to snatch the title from Representative Custodio. In a recent interview, he said it would require him at least three months to recover the energy that he squandered while campaigning (although only one fight to recover the money he wasted).
His next fight is with WBC super featherweight title-holder Juan Manuel Marquez in October this year. The people from South Cotabato can now breathe a sigh of relief because their two gems are not squared with each other and instead each doing what they do best – Darlene in the lower house and Manny in the boxing ring.
