Manny Pacquiao showbiz na showbiz na?

No show up si Manny sa Gusi Awards dahil daw pinatawag siya ni President Gloria Arroyo sa Malacañang. Hello! Ang award ay naka-schedule no. Is this the beginning of the new Pacquiao attitude? So, at ano pa e di binawi ng Gusi ang award.

Seven-time world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao has been stripped of the award given to him by the 2009 Gusi Peace Prize Awards. Reason: He was a no-show at the awards night held last Wednesday, Nov. 25, at the Meralco Theater.
Somebody (identity withheld upon request) from the Gusi Awards said, “Pacquiao seemed to have belittled the Gusi Peace Prize Awards by ignoring it.”
All the other awardees were accounted for, including Lea Salonga, Preciosa Soliven and Fr. Joey Faller from the Philippines (Pacquiao would have been the fourth), and those from Cyprus, Thailand, Romania, Paraguay, Macau, Switzerland, Greece, Turkey, Taiwan, Russia, Malaysia, Italy, Hong Kong and USA.
“If the other awardees could come...from other countries pa,” added the “somebody,” “why couldn’t Pacquiao samantalang nasa Laguna lang naman siya?”
Pacquiao did apologize, saying that he was summoned to Malacañang by Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo at that time.
“But the awards night was scheduled weeks ahead,” said the “somebody.” “He could have dropped by even for a few minutes.”
Oo nga naman, di ba?
