Why did filipinos disown brian viloria to claim donaire???

[CHOWWOKKA]

See this goes right along with what im saying. Public opinion is largely driven by media. Just as viloria is viewed less favorably than donaire becausr of the media coverage or lack of by filipino media.

Talk about cashingg in on ethnicity...batista is like 1/8th filipino. But dude got a tattoo of the flag and started saying how much he loved pacquiao and the filipino media ate it up.

But I can tell you that this guy:
is half filipino, born in the philippines, speaks 2dialects fluently, and is the translator for the wwe when in the country...yet noone in the country gives 2****s because he never "claimed" filipino heritage when interviewed.

He was born in Spain?

lmfao what you gonna do with that, tickle her to death.

Anyway, Filipino, American, Hawaiian, or whatever the ****, Viloria is the man, and is great for boxing.

Who disowned Viloria?

He's one of the top ten best fighters in the world and the 3rd best Filipino fighter in the world.

He destroyed number 9 ranked world pfp Giovanni Segura last year, number 1 ranked flyweight hernan marquez, with no signs of slowing down.
