Manny Pacquiao is a Filipino professional boxer. He is the only septuple world champion in boxing history.
During Manny Pacquiao's fights, you will rarely see people out on the streets because all Filipinos are watching inside their houses. The crime rate drops in the Philippines during these times. Isn't that amazing? :D

Filipinos are noted for good chefs.
Few Filipino foods:
Adobo - chicken or pork cooked in soy sauce, vinegar and garlic.
Dinuguan - a savory stew made of pig's blood and innards
Sinigang - boiled fish, pork, shrimp with a tamarind base.
Kare-Kare - cooked oxtail with peanut sauce.
Bagoong - fish paste
Lechon - roasted suckling pig
Filipino cuisine is a mix of Spanish, Chinese, Malay, and Arabic dishes, but always given a Filipino twist!

This hand gesture called "L sign" of Pres. Cory Aquino might mean "loser" for some children. But this sign means "Laban" (Fight), a battle cry against the dictator Marcos. It was a symbol of hope and unity. Cory Aquino's death on August 1, 2009 recalls those days when Filipinos struggle for freedom and peace.
