Pambansang Kamao wins!
Sunday, October 7, 2007 by PPV
Though this blog focus on Science & Technology especially on computers, sometimes I create post which is of public interest in this country of mine. Our Pambansang Kamao (National Fist), defeated Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera via unanimous decision in 12 rounds of action.
The news of victory spreaded like a wildfire over the internet, radio, and text messages (SMS) even before the opening bell of round one of the much awaited rematch which was aired at GMA TV.

The problem with shows like this, it is overloaded with TV commercials. The fight which started at 10am ended five minutes before 4pm, Sunday in the Philippines. The excitement is gone, if you watched it on local channel. If you want to see it without ads, go and pay on a local cinema or if you know a friend who is subscribed in a cable or satellite tv, go over to their place and watch with them.
The Pacquiao-Barrera main event have a more than 1-hour airtime, and that is for the tv commercials alone! Three national anthem and in between those anthems is a 5 minute commercial. The shortest tv commercial in between rounds is 4 minutes and more than 8 minutes for the longest.
That is the price you'll pay if you're not on a PPV channel. :)
