It seems that Manny Pacquiao is no different from his political backers.

Gloria Arroyo plays a cat-and-mouse game with the law, preferring stonewalling, EO 464, and withdrawing questionable edicts when the courts are about to strike them as illegal. Pacquiao had decided not to appear in the preliminary hearing of the case filed against him by a woman whom he allegedly had a child. Shades of what Gloria would do.

Then, he acted as if he is the King of the Philippines, causing an airline flight to be delayed, without even giving a simple apology.

Has all that adulation already gone up to his head? He badly needs a lesson in humility; a good knock down will do.
