That was it? What a lazy, sad excuse for a writer. Are you that greedy you had to divide a 5 question interview into two parts? You're a hack and a scam just like your other Examiner buddies. I have never read a good article coming from this guy. You are by far the worst blogger on this website.
No!..it's not a blow blow...
I believe only the claims of Bobby Pacquiao that they are belongs to a poor family. Manny Villar is POOR? I don't think so! That's a HOAXXXX...
@Harvey
How are the examiner guys a scam? You aren't paying to read their articles and no one is making you read them either. If you don't like Marv and co then just don't read their stuff
Please Marv Dumon stop using this portal for campaigning politicians tell me if you have percentage and I make it double.
I love Manny Pacquiao for being a national icon. But for making business with dirty politicians that's another story. Like for those on pictures VILLAR & LEGARDA, nakupo mga oportunista!
dumon the demon. what a short article. and u have the balls to make it part 2.
I'VE SEEN THIS WEB PORTAL BEFORE DISCUSSING BLOGS ABOUT BOXING SUDDENLY TURNING INTO POLITICS....DONATION PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Marv Dumon! wala ka na ba talagang magawa! tsupain na lang kaya kita.....
did you ask pacquiao whether he is very upright and honest in paying his taxes in the philippines? and how much? i am sure you forgot all about it.with your analytical mind, you will definitely come out with a very interesting article on how honest the pacman is. the amount of taxes he pays the philippine government, is a measurement on much he really loves his country.
that villar was once poor does not make him automatically honorable to be a elected as a president. you should ask yourself how he became filthy rich then, probably you'll come to know of his dirty tricks. does he really spend billions of pesos for the campaigns just to be able to serve the poor country? what may he expect in return? come on... poor people with poor judgement!
i really like pacquiao as a boxer but never as a law maker. like in boxing he has trainings, trains good for the fights and he makes it really good...but as a law maker??? i just wonder big time how he's gonna do that - though, often, it's ok with us like: we have a big supply of artistas to run the country. yeah we also have enough politicians who are drug pushers and heads of syndicates...and they make it too! and don't ever wonder... what we see is what we get!
@Harvey, you have to be fair with your comments. I'm wondering why you even opened this site and read this article when you thought or believed all along that Mr. Dumon's articles were not good. Don't you think you are instead the worst blogger on this website.
THE COUNTRY IS READY FOR A CHANGE, GET RID OF THE OLD FAMILY SYSTEM THAT'S BEEN CORRUPTING AND EXPLOITING THE MIND AND WEALTH OF THE NATION SINCE DAY ONE. TIME AFTER TIME, ELECTION AFTER ELECTION ALL YOU CAN READ CAMPAIGNING, WERE THE SAME GROUP OF FAMILIES RUNNING FOR OFFICE. THIS FEW FAMILIES,CONTROLS THE WEALTH OF THE NATION. IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE, MARV LET YOUR PEN BE THE VOICE THE POOR !!!!!!

chiongbian, alis dyan...............
It is not important issue from what kind of family where Manny Villar is coming from whether it was poor or rich family. It will not serve as basis that this candidate will truly serve the people if elected. The true basis is who this candidate as a person. If this this candidate was a previous government official his records will speak for himself.
Villar used the word "Poor" is wrong.
Now, it backfired on him.
Their family was not that poor,but hardworking family to survive for meal day to day.
Villar parent was really a filipino model parent.
That is what our parents do, give the best to their children by education.
Ika nga iginapang sa hirap because wala silang ipapamana kundi edukasyon.
The point is ....they used the word poor inappropriately.
As to Manny and Bobby they were not that poor but only abandoned.
Poor is where hunger, famine,homelessness exist. Manny and Bobby can afford to have three times meal of rice only is enough. That is not poor...kulang lang sa ulam or in english not combo meal.
Pulitika? May tiwala pa ba kayo sa mga pulitika? Mababait lang mga yan pag nangangampanya pero pag nanalo na, akala mo kung sino na, nakalimutan na nila na kaya sila nahalal ay dahil sa atin.
the true bloodline of a leader is on nonoy. para sa akin si nonoy. si villar trying hard, use the poor to get what he wants.if i know mas korakot payan kay gloria. mas masahol; payan kay erap. gumamit nang mahirap para sa sariling interest. bullshit
ang dami mong pera gawa kana lang sana nang mga industry para matulongan mo kalagayan natin d2 sa pinas. hindi yong gagastos kanang billion pera para sa advertisement mo. wag nyo kaming gawing oto-oto.. kami para kay nonoy ang dugo ni ninoy nasa kanya handang ibuhis ang buhay para magkaro.on tayong magandang buhay. wag kayong magbulag-bulagan jan mga pilipino. or bulag naba talaga kayo jan sa pinas. iboto nyo si noynoy para may magka dignidad naman tayo.

To brothers Pacquiao: you don't know what you're talking about. Villar was never poor. His family lived in an upper class subdivision during his childhood. He and his siblings all went to private schools. His father was a ranking gov't employee and his mother was a seafood dealer/distributor. Was that poor to you? Obviously, because you lacked proper education, you were easily duped by a liar like Villar. Or maybe you support Villar because he is the secret candidate of Gloria and Mike Arroyo, and you are avid supporters of the corrupt Arroyo Gov't.
Villar is a better president compared to Noynoy. WHY? Look at what are there accomplishments in life. Villar has proven a better and excellent manager both in his personal life and in government service. We need an excellent manager who can run this country. How about Noynoy? He just ride to the popularity of his dad and good timing death of her great mom, nothing more. We need great managers and good leaders and not popular person like Noynoy who is hiding under the skirt of her mom to get notice and elected. Vote wisely and compare apple to apple on whom the best deserve your vote.
Unsa tawon ang mabuhat ana ni manny oi sa saranggni?usik2 lang xa arep sa govet kay hired na marami consultants. Dapat si Bobby na lang tumakbo.hehehhee
I sincerely hope that Pacquiao can be a good public servant with a huge task to do.Villar and Pacquiao are two new faces in politics .What my country needs is one big help not just among Filipinos but from other friendly countries as well.Let my country sustain any growth it can muster and make us out of poverty.It is a common knowledge that Japan was helped big time at post war era .That is why it is an economic power now,even half of that will alleviate the poverty of our nation easily so,i think.
I believe Manny has the heart and the intention to serve the people. However, these attributes are not enough to be an effective congressman. He may be a hero in the boxing world and I salute that but he lacks the tools that goes with a good lawmaker. Plus the fact that he goes around with politicians that are not good examples in governance & behaviour. However, I do hope and pray the Manny will prove us doubters wrong.
It makes no sense to me that we should vote a certain candidate because he's coming from a poor family. We should vote for the candidate that can do something good for the masses, something good or a change for the better. We need to vote wisely not by sympathy.
We certainly don't need a scholar with a hight IQ or degree to run the gov't. Although I must agree that knowledge is good but the wickedness associted for being a highly educated person can certainly run the govt in distress and look what is happening now! they are bunch of educated but no heart, wisdom & fear of God. God chose the poor and not a scholar or with big educational background to preach the goodness & wisdom.
Sayang ka Manny...Bakit ka pa kasi sumasali sa pulitika. masisira ka lang jan
Dapat Manny nagMayor ka na lng kung gusto mo tumulong, di ka nman bagay na Congressman, pero kung un mga magnanakaw na Chiongban lang din eh, Ikaw na lang, hehe
cano you are dump, blind and fool... dont you see what kind of senate president villar is... research first, before you type something. villar is a liar.. ninoy leadership is in the blood of noynoy and the help which they give by melchora aquino. the bloodline my friend....
am0ng the 4 cndidates (villar,noynoy,erap,g1bo) 0nly g1bo has the ability to run this country.c n0yn0y ng dhl lng s parents nya,pero xa wla namang kakayahan,ni wla nga yan nagawa sa senado,palibhasa mama's boy!
GIBO FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
Napilitan lng c Noynoy dahil kay Kris.Bueno...kung talagang makamahirap ang mga Aquino ibigay nila ang Hacienda Luisita sa mga magsasaka na dapat nuon pa nila ginawa ito.
Bro Eddie for President!!!
who cares what bobby says.
