So Manny went up the ring again, earned millions of dollars again after pounding Margarito (such poor unfortunate soul). As with the other Pacquiao bouts I went around the city to take pictures of people gathered in various places and enjoy (is it the correct term?) boxing bloody as it is. And I was not disappointed, I mean I did get to take pix of people gathered in various places to enjoy err, watch Manny on the ring, the
fire at Aguit-itan notwithstanding.
The soon-to-open Ciriaco Hotel installed 3 giant screen in their ballroom where patrons enjoyed the fight in air conditioned comfort with a bottle of beer. And yes, add to it the elevator ride from the ground floor to the 4th floor. Tickets were priced at 250 pesos; and all 250 pieces of tickets were sold out.
Yup, fire was raging in Aguit-itan but life went on for these Manny fans.
