UNBEATEN Filipino super bantamweight Genesis “Azukal” Servania will face the toughest challenge of his young career in Pinoy Pride XIV this coming Saturday.

He will go up against boxing veteran Genaro “Poblanito” Garcia, who already has 46 fights under his belt.

However, Servania is undaunted and grateful for being given the chance to prove himself against the grizzled Mexican.

“Nagpapasalamat ako sa manager ko at ALA promotions na binigyan ako ng malaking break so talagang pangako sa inyo maganda ang laban natin kay Genaro,” he said during the final press conference before Saturday's event.

Genesis has 17 wins and no loss.

Garcia, on the other hand, has 38 victories and 8 losses. He has already faced 8 world champions.

The Mexican bruiser said he’ll first teach Servania a thing or two about boxing.

Then he’ll knock the Filipino out.

“He’s lacking in experience, he’s young. But I won’t leave the verdict to the judges. I want to make the fight clear by winning it by knockout,” the confident Mexican said through an interpreter.

However, Servania remains unpertubed.

“Genaro is a veteran boxer, good fighter. Nakita kong mga laban n’ya. Preparado naman kami,” said “Azukal.” (ABS-CBNnews.com)

"DEMOCRACY cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education." – Franklin D. Roosevelt

I WENT early on May 13 to cast my vote. The precinct was in much better state than what we found in 2010. It seemed as though the different teams, the Board of Election Inspectors (BEIs), the volunteers, and barangay officials had worked on a better system of time and motion which would be able to deal with the longer lines that would come later on in the day.

This piece was delivered yesterday at church of the Triumph of the Holy Cruz parish of Fr. Joevic Lemoncito. However, I spoke in Hiligaynon. I am publishing this due to inquiries about this festival that falls in May and the end of summer.

The word “santacruzan” is a Filipino version of the Spanish “Fiesta de la Santa Cruz” or Feast of the Holy Cross. Read more...

Reflection after the counting

AFTER THE election, many are either awed or dismayed by the results.

For instance, due to the majority’s veneration of “stars,” several posts in the government heap up stardust’s.

Sad to say, they are not real stars beyond their ostentatious speeches and well-rehearsed acts on screen. Read more...

Jolie’s boobs she didn’t regret losing

WHO, among men, like flat-chested women? Hollywood actor and singer Frank Sinatra, whose fame swept the 1940s, probably leads the way. His second wife Mia Farrow was a much younger and skinny girl that could not show much from the 90 degree angle off-front.
