Dako na dayon kaayo ang bilib nila kay Pacquiao tungod sa pamaagi sa imong pag istorya to them about Pacquiao--they developed a "hero" image in their heads nga lisod kaayo i-erase, so come election time, even though klaro kaayo nga daghan pa man unta diha ang mas capable to run for office, they will always remember that one day during fiesta nga nag inom mo and you told them what a great achiever Pacquiao is. This, unfortunately, is the sad saga and tragedy of the common Filipino--dali ra kaayo ma-convince sa mga ginagmay (and oftentimes wrong) nga notion, to the point nga mailad nuon. Ang bottom line, kinsa ma'y mo suffer in the end? Kitang tanan.
