MANDALUYONG CITY, PHILIPPINES---WITH THE help of his mother far away from his native Labangal, General Santos City, national treasure Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao of the Philippines knocked down twice in the 10th stanza Mexican legend Erik “El Terrible” Morales in their 12th round scheduled fight dubbed as “The Battle” yesterday in Las Vegas, Nevada, much known as the Sin City of the World.
“Pinagdasal ko talaga ang laban ng aking anak na manalo at nawa’y hindi siya masaktan,” said Dionisia who’s taking the holy rosary for the success of his son.
“Salamat nagbunga din ang paghihirap at sakripisyo ng anak ko,” added Dionesia saying that his son missed his birthday, Christmas and New Year celebrations in return for his early preparation in the US soil under the watchful eye of American trainer Freddie Roach of the famous Wild Card gym.
“Matapos kaming magsimba ay sabay-sabay kaming nagdasal para kay Manny.” said Dionesia who attended the mass at the Immaculate Conception Church in Labangal, General Santos City.
Dionisia revealed that she already got a hint that Manny will win the rematch against Morales.
“Di kagaya ng unang laban ng anak ko. Ngayon ay talagang wala akong kaba at mahimbing ang tulog kaya alam ko mananalo ang anak ko,” Dionesia concluded.
