Last weekend, Manny Pacquiao won a huge knockout victory over Ricky Hatton in Vegas. The win only cemented Pacquiao’s status as the most famous man in the Philippines (and certainly the most well-known athlete in that country’s history). Filipinos even took a break from war during the bout.
So where are the motorcades and parades and national celebrations? They’ll have to wait. Why? Swine flu concerns.
