Pinoys dont deserve another great fighter like Donaire

[Eastbay Giant]

Again?


None Filipinos wont understand this issue so better stay out of it. but if you want to be educated on the matter, let me state a few things to ponder.


- When their Parents get old, Filipinos will take care of their parents, They could hire someone and just supervise or in many cases do it themselves if they are not financially capable. In the US Old people stays in paid institutions.

- Filipinos can stay in their parents house as long as they like and Yes even if they are married most parents would let them live in their house with their spouses. In the US the limit is 18 yrs.

- Most Parents would pay for everything you need as long as you're staying in their house. Food, clothes, Money for dates, Cars ( If they can afford it) in fact anything as long as their finances would allow it.

This matter is a BIG BIG Deal for Filipinos. So any outsider yapping ****** things is like

A Harry Potter fanboy criticizing Luke Skywalker for fighting Darth Vader.

You trying to make some good points, but some Filipino parents can also be over possessive, controlling, judgmental, and manipulate given the right circumstances. Before you go claiming NON Filipinos wouldn't understand, maybe some Filipinos should look in the mirror and realize when cut they bleed just like everyone else. The things you describe and I described take place in ALL cultures, so don't expect others to give moral high ground only to Filipinos, because Nonito's situation happens within a lot of families.

Bottom line, it was his mother and father who took it the media 2 weeks before the biggest fight of his career. I don't know if they were trying to create a distraction, but those issues were known almost a year ago, and for it to resurface the way it did, when it did was wrong. Adding Manny Pacquiao's name in on top it, made it even more distasteful.

AMEN. I am a Filipino-American and I approve this message.

The way the philippine media blasted him for not having a good relationship with his father while propping up how great manny pacquiao is for getting along with his dad was one of the most hypocritical & disgusting acts of sporting journalism i have ever witnessed.

Now that he's winning, i guess its all good?

You pinoys dont deserve donaire.

this really worth a thread? :laugh:

You have a point but Nonito's mistake was he talked to the media. He should have just kept quiet. I know that's what im going to do if i was on his place shut my mouth.


btw I perfectly approve Nonito's Decision to side with his wife. Thats what i would do also.

I heard two Pinoy media men lambasting Donaire on TV for his treatment of his father. I think it was GMA7. They however, also said Nonito will be a great boxer and hope he makes up with his father so he can inherit Pac's Pinoys fan base.

I see nothing wrong with it.

honestly, I dont see how its anyones business how Donaire handles his family affairs. everyone has a different relationship with their parents, and none of us has any right to judge as long as its not something god awful terrible or illegal.

I would also side with my wife, quietly though. I would not want to be outside the "kulambo" while there is a quarell.

Actually, you're wrong. It was Donaire who first brought up all his supposed childhood angst in an interview with a US website. His parents merely responded to his claims that he grew up poor and under-appreciated.

However, you're right about some Filipino parents being controlling and manipulative, especially early on in a person's adulthood. That's why a young person who becomes an adult is expected to learn to assert himself against his or her parents without crossing the line into disrespect. In time, parents also learn to let go and respect the kid's decisions. That's the only way for a parent-son/daughter relationship to survive into a person's adulthood.

Otherwise, we'll only be compelled to see our parents during the holidays.

Ever heard of the Mayweathers... Hehehe....Mom is crackwhore, Dad is a crack dealer..etc... The AMERICAN Media ****ted on him and his family especially when Father and Son had their issues. And yet no one is ****ting in on any American and US based fans (including his loyal *****s) when they claim that he is currently the best AMERICAN fighter.

He is just being accuse as a coward and a dVcker but that's for another topic...
