Today, May 11, 2009 is Manny Pacquiao Day! President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has proclaimed May 11 as a special National Day of Celebration in honor of Pacquiao, the Pambansang Kamao (National Fist).
Some people were actually waiting for a non-working Holiday proclamation. But why didn’t the powers in the Palace declared that? That would have been a plus to the holiday-loving masses.

It’s Manchester United vs Barcelona (Barca) in the 2009 UEFA Champions League Finals in Rome on May 27, 2009! Barca came off with a thrilling late goal to level the score at Stamford Bridge a few hours ago. With the away goal after a scoreless draw at Camp Nou a week ago, Barca progressed to the finals.
The other night, Manchester United, the 2008 Champions League champions, thrashed Arsenal 3-1 to progress again to the Finals. If they win again in Rome, they will be the first team to win the title back-to-back in the UEFA Champions League Era.

Chelsea vs Everton in the FA Cup Final at Wembley on May 30! Who will win? I got my Chelsea vs Manchester United prediction half correct. I felt sorry for the Red Devils. But what can we do when you sit out your best players?
I expected Ronaldo and Rooney to inflict the damage. But they were rested. The young guys were given the opportunity to start and shine on their own. They were given the load to carry Manchester United to a quintuple. But Everton’s Tim Howard, United’s ex-goal keeper, made all the difference as he stopped the penalty shots of Berbatov and Ferdinand, after the game ended 0-0 at regulation. So Louis Saha was right after all, when he predicted a win for the Toffees.
