Mayweather Jr. claims Pacquiao one-dimensional fighter

“Personally, I think Pacquiao got exposed in that fight for being one-dimensional,” Mayweather told Tom Jenkins of Cagereport.net.

Prove it inside the ring, Mr Mayweather.

Arroyo can appoint next Chief Justice—SC

Voting 9-1-3, the Supreme Court ruled that President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo could appoint the next Chief Justice, a spokesman for the high tribunal said Wednesday.

Last January, Noynoy Aquino boldy said: “Let me forewarn any member of the Supreme Court who shall accept to be chief justice by appointment of the outgoing President, that not only shall he not be recognized, but he risks even his presence in the Court as an associate member,”.
What now, Noynoy?

Teodoro, Gordon talk about health, mum on sex life

During the forum, Teodoro also said he favored government funding for both natural and modern methods of family planning.

Note: "natural and modern" methods of family planning. The direct implication is that natural means not modern. For the information of Mr. Teodoro, NFP is now based on the modern Billings Ovulation Method, the Sympto-Thermal Method, and the Creighton Model. The correct term is "natural vs artificial".

Gordon, however, said the government should not spend money for condoms. He said the government should instead use the money for education.

Education, right. Like educating most people that there is such a thing as modern NFP.
