Crab mentality, showbiz, or political gimmickry?

No one likes to pull Manny down, not after bringing honor and pride to our country and countrymen. His only fault is he allowed himself to be tempted (once again. Men like him should not have married so they can play the field anytime they want to without inflicting pain and hurt on someone they profess to love and honor. If it's showbiz machinery working to promote his upcoming film, then it's done in poor taste; not at the expense of someone who has her heart truly broken. And if it's political gimmickry, do you think people in his province will still vote for him after this brouhaha? I even doubt if he can win a seat in Congress even without the latest fiasco in his marriage to arouse the people's interest. The last time he ran, he lost. His popularity did not guarantee him a win.. I credited that to the constituents' level of maturity and intelligence. Anyway, whoever Manny's political adviser is should include lessons on morality and discreetness.

We'll have to face it, MP is also human. He can quickly succumb to his frailties women among them. Funny how media can blow things up a million times. But I guess he is just enjoying himself now. We have to give him credit for the many good things he has given the country, after all he deserves to enjoy what all can offer-let us give him the privacy he deserves.

whatever, this are all categorized as hot news for many would be interested. He should have been more discreet about this. and why in the world would many blame krista. It is the man who go after a woman.

unfortunetely, having everyone like papparazzi and rude people in ur private life...thats a consequence of being the celebrity that he is. since he made it to the big time, nothing is taboo in theri opinion. i dont know how politics and mud-slinging is done in the phils but in the states, EVERYTHING about u is under scrutiny. and i dont know much about pac's personal business but if he is having an affair, its his choice.b/c most likely he wouldnt be in the position to have an affair if he wasnt rich and famous. remember women are drawn to powerful men. pac seems like a good guy...i just hope he doesnt get the same mentality that many celebs here in the states get as far as feeling like theyre above the law. 'excuse me, officer. do u know who i am?'... uugh. i hate that.

could be showbiz gimmick but why? he doesn't need any added publicity. he's already the most recognized name in the philippines.

Why can't people just accept he is a good boxer, perhaps the best, but has no CLASS! But, I bet Filipino's will elect a man with a Third Grade education to represent them in congress, because he is a celebrity. I have no respect for any man who would embarrass his wife and family in public as he continues to do over and over. Manny does not deserve "public" privacy. When he is seen in public with women other than his wife the public is entitled to know. Manny chose to be a celebrity. He chose to be in the public eye and with that comes responsibilities to the public especially the youth. Someone told me yesterday that I did not understand all the Pressure and STRESS Manny was under as a famous boxer. I do not think he is under anymore stress than a man driving a taxi, sweeping the streets or working at the Mall trying to feed his family on 180 pesos a day. They in my opinion have far more stress and pressure than Manny driving around in a 160,000 dollar automobile bought in the U.S.A. instead of ordered from a local dealer and he even tried to avoid paying import taxes. Someone said he hoped he did not get like American athletes and begin to think he is above the law - Manny already thinks he is above the law just ask some of the locals that have been beat up by him in General Santos when they got in his way or upset him.

People around the world knows Pacquiao are one of the greatest boxer of all time, which that is great. We all be proud that someone like him a Filipino boxer prove that no one can stop him to climb to stardom. My point is this man deserve a respect. What happened in his private life should stay within, not to crucified publicly. Gimmick or not let the man alone do his own business, after all he is just a man w/ weakness.........like us.

Just because it quacks like a duck, it looks like a duck it doesn't mean its a duck. In short, what's in the picture tells something different contrary to what's being written or reported. Body language says it all. In showbiz bad or good publicity is still publicity. Pacquaio maybe the king on pound for pound and holds several title under his belt but political gimmickry is necessary since he lacks confidence in terms of education and political knowledge's. To fall under the illusion that 'Crab mentality' depicts society in one phrase is extremely narrow minded but it does influence decisions and does add a hindrance to cause and effect. It is ingrained into the human persona to be greater or higher in status and this is shown throughout history in many different ways but there is nothing we can do to influence or deflect how we are. The crab mentality can strike at all levels of life.
