Just what does Rep. Manny Pacquiao mean by “Let’s move on,” when he manifested or in short interjected between the anti- and pro-Arroyo speeches at the House floor. Of course, there was a thundering applause from the hall not because it was a solomonic counsel from a neophyte but because the honorables thought it was cute — coming from a popular boxing icon. If he means that we have to forget and forgo the past sins of the Arroyo administration and bury their hachets on each other’s back, then the applause is cynical and the remarks moronic. If Representative Pacquiao feels uneasy or uncomfortable with his colleagues throwing “punches” or balls of fire on his former coddler, the honorable gentle lady from Pampanga, then either he is in the wrong place or his congressional orientation wanting. A boxer’s canvass is so totally different from the carpets and podiums of the session halls — Pacquiao would soon realize. Politics and governance are unlike boxing matches where a winner would magnanimously approach the loser’s corner and offer embraces despite bloodied and mangled faces! But I won’t be surprised if one day, the boxing icon would be so pissed off that he would challenge a colleague to settle things outside the halls of Congress at the boxing arena!
