Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto Live Streaming - Free Update
Today is the day of all boxing fans here in the Philippines. Hours later, we will be watching the live fight , Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto Watch Live Online Video Streaming of Boxing today on HBO. Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto will start in less than an hour.

Manny Pacquiao Knockouts Miguel Cotto on 12th Round

2009-11-15T14:36:00.002+08:00

I never thought I would have the chance to see the live telecast of the fight between Manny Pacquiao againts Miguel Cotto. Luckily enough, my friend and neighbor got himself the pay-per-view live telecast and I went their immediately just as the fight has started.

I felt so proud seeing Manny Pacquiao come into the ring together with his team and waving the flag. Whats more interesting is that Manny Pacquiao is the underdog of this fight. Miguel Cotto appears to be much bigger than our Pambansang Kamao Manny Pacman Pacquiao. The first round did go to Miguel Cotto scoring 10-9. But that was not a big deal to start with, Manny was just feeling the strength of Miguel Cotto's punches, and in fact during the rounds of the fight, Manny sometimes offer his lower body for Miguel Cotto to hit. Miguel Cotto was punching his lower body like punching a solid stone wall!

I can also recall the commentator say "He is a machine. He loves to fight". At round 3 Miguel Cotto dropped down with his hands on the canvass after a right hook hit from Manny Pacquiao. It appears to be not a strong punch but it really made him realize the strength of Manny's right hook. We cheered and jumped after that round! That moment I knew that Manny Pacquiao is the one who is in control.

During the fourth round, Pacman continues his punches like a machine gun pointing at Cotto, making Cotto unable to defend himself. Even on slow motion replay I can see how fast Manny Pacquiao's punch is, and not only fast it is also remarkable strong. Cotto fell down after being hit by a left hand! Cotto was severely hit. Luckily it was not the end for him.

On round 8, I can see a desperation in Cotto's fight, it seems he keeps avoiding a collision course with Manny and keeps on avoiding him by doing a dance in the ring :-). Manny keeps on reaching Cotto with his punches and tries to trap Cotto in the corner. By this time, Cotto's game plan was to stay alive in the ring. Or maybe he is waiting for a counter miracle punch, which is very impossible against Manny Pacquiao.

On the 12th round, the referee decided to end the fight on a standing TKO. I can see the referee's face looking at Cotto right before he decided to end the fight. I was thinking it was supposed to be Pacman who should finish the fight. But again, the game already ended on round 8, since the Champion Miguel Cotto lost his will to fight and not throwing punches anymore.

Miguel Cotto did not do anything wrong, Manny was just too fast and too strong! Luckily enough for Miguel Cotto that he stood up until 12th round. Congratulations to our People's Champ!

I was searching for the internet for a free watch for the streaming broadcast on the fight, all I get on the Google search results page (SRP) are just websites and blogs optimized for the below keyword.

Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto Live

2009-11-14T00:11:00.002+08:00

On November 14, 2009, the fighter of our nation, Manny Pacquiao, will once again submit himself to another challenge of his career. This time against another successful pound-for-pound boxer of his generation. Miguel Cotto, a Puerto Rican professional boxer with a record of 34 Wins, 1 Loss, 27 Knockouts, will defend the WBO Welterweight Title against Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. Seeing these two fighters together in the ring would mean a great boxing action to watch. How I wish I could see Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto Live here in the Philippines. There are some establishments here in Cebu that will show the pay-per-view live telecast but with a fee of course. Can someone suggest a place where we can watch a FREE-per-view telecast of the Miguel Cotto vs Manny Pacquiao match?

The biggest question is who will win the Cotto Pacquiao fight?

Only during the fight night on November 14 that we could uncover the greatest question most boxing fans are asking.

However, I can say an advantage of 60:40 ratio in favor of Pacquiao, since Manny got his speed advantage coupled with his "powerful and strong" punches and being already a wise boxer. But it is not a guarantee that Manny will win. Cotto seems to be bigger than Pacquiao and his record also says even more.

It is really hard to tell who will win, the most important thing is Manny will once again carry our Nation's Flag and our National Anthem be heard, while Manny proves to the world the might of a Filipino. Win or lose, I consider Manny Pacquiao as our Nation's Living Legend. Goodluck to you PACMAN!!!

Finding a Japanese Grocery in Cebu

2009-11-13T14:51:00.003+08:00

Finding a cheap Japanese Grocery here in Cebu is really hard. There are many Japanese groceries out there in Cebu City, but everytime I visit such places, I always end up emptying my wallet because of the expensive items that are for sale.

The demand for quality Japanese ingredients for cooking here in Cebu are increasing, maybe its because more and more people are acquainted to eating Japanese foods. More and more Japanese Restaurants have been showing up and scattered all out the Cebu City metropolis, Mandaue City, and Lapu Lapu. And because of competition, Japanese restaurants are forced to lower their prices, therefore creating a need for a much cheaper store or shop for Japanese grocery that is available in Cebu City.

How I wish there will be a Japanese Grocery here in Cebu that we can say it to be locally competitive, affordable,and guaranteed to be the cheapest in town. Making it your one stop shop in buying items for your Japanese cooking needs.

When is the best time for Teachers to connect?

2009-10-31T13:10:00.004+08:00

By Cora Maning - Lahug Elementary School Teacher
my mother

When things in life get rough, and you need a shoulder to lean on, come to me and I’ll lead you.

Oftentimes, people remember God only when their struggles prove to be too much and too many for them to face alone.
.
A teacher’s life may not be a bed of roses but it’s full of grace from God. Every time problems come across, there’s always Him who helps us carry the load.

A message from A. J. Russell in “God Calling”, God said, “If you only had sought my friendship long ago many of your difficulties would not have existed. Your life would have been different.”

Of course, if given the chance to be born again, I would still want to be a teacher, and I know some teachers do.

There might be difficult times for us, times that we realize we have no more time for ourselves. A day is never enough for our pupils, friends and family.

However, after a day’s work, a teacher asks, “What have I done today?”

Life may not be easy for all of us and there are times we want to fall. The only strength that melts all thread of burden and tiresome moments is God’s presence in our lives.

He is a Good Shepherd as we are to our pupils.

When is the best time to connect to God? He said, “Seek Me early, that is the only way to find Me.”
Find time to talk to Him from 3:00 – 4:00 AM before He gets crowded by life’s troubles, difficulties, demands and pressures.

Maribago Bluewaters Review

2009-10-29T13:09:00.005+08:00

Here in Cebu, the weather is perfect all year round. If you are a Cebuano, you have the ability to spend your day on a beach everyday. However, because of life's necessity, we often forget to spend that special day for ourselves. How marvelous it is to be remembered that I need a time for myself, a time for the beach, a time for blue waters.

When I was dozing my way as usual over the WWW I came across Maribago bluewater blog, what a great way to enjoy a retreat to the beach. Saw their Maribago Bluewater video on Youtube and happen to know that bloggers are invited to visit Maribago Bluewater on a Sunday for free!

Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort gives you the comfort of home in a little paradise. Accommodations are Royal Bungalow, Anuma SPA Suites, Deluxe Rooms, and all are fully airconditioned. To have more details on Maribago Bluewater accommodations you can visit here.

For the food and beverage lovers, you can dine at Maribago's 7 F&B outlets.

Your first stop should be Maribago's main restaurant, the Allegro restaurant, dine besides the pool or within the air-conditioned dining area.

Next will be The Cove, offering fresh seafoods and an open sea view to compliment the culinary treat.

Molto Joli, is an Italian Café that offers fresh salads, pasta, pizza, sandwiches and desserts, as well as cool refreshments. Fronting the Bluewater Art Gallery that features unique works by Filipino Artists, it is the perfect place for an intimate get-together. Open daily from 10:0am to 10:00pm.

If you are in for a healthy retreat, take your time at the Amuma Spa Café & Juice Bar, it provides healthy salads and juices.

Oyster Bar at The Cove, its open from 10 am to 10 pm, offers happy hours special, and will surely be great to spend the coming of the night while enjoying a drink or two before going to bed.

Exhausted by fun? Relax by the Pool Bar and grab some cocktail and refreshment blends that will quench the thirst after a hearty fun in the sun.

Need more time with friends or family? Try the Recreation Bar, Nicknamed the RecBar, it is located in Bluewater’s Recreation Center. Enjoy drinks and refreshments while you play a round of billiards or table tennis. Open daily from 8:00am to 10:00 pm.

There is nothing more wonderful and amazing than to enjoy life than by the beach. :-) For the complete info about how to join this event, you can visit PinoyWorld.

It’s raining in Cebu!

2009-09-14T14:00:00.003+08:00

It’s raining in Cebu! Oh, how I love the rain. It reminds me of childhood. Play was all that matters. Rain also is a sign of blessing, a simple reminder to us that there is One Divine Being that reigns above us. From the sky to the ground, water as a necessity of life pours down in droplets from the sky. It is like the heavens sending life on Earth.

Not many people think that even the formation of water on the sky is a great mystery, although science can explain it, the water vapor gas rising on our atmosphere together with the needed low pressure, then precipitates and forming rain. But who then has the ability to command those molecules to behave that way? Who then can command the balancing of the clouds that causes a place to rain and the other place to not?

Imagine life without rain and without water. Every time it rains it reminds me that I am blessed, I am lucky enough to receive such gift. Although, the rain is oftentimes the reason why I go to work late. J

The Reason I am CBS

2009-09-09T22:55:00.002+08:00

This place is my home, and CBS for me is a good place to start knowing and understanding it more.

And as I look 10 years from now, I would be proud that I am a part of you guys here. And lastly, who knows I might find my lady valentine here.. :-) hihi

My Longest Introduction - Cebu Bloggers Society

2009-09-09T22:35:00.001+08:00

Hi there people! Hello world! This is me FRANCIS DANIEL MANING aka blurem23 Facebook et al blurem23@yahoo.com

I dont know where to start actually, there so much I can tell about myself. Mostly I am just like the typical guy around you. But sometimes I am spontaneous, a bit different, want to be different. A listener sometimes, when the situation calls for it, and sometimes a talker. I could not fully describe myself coz even I myself cant think of what I really am. Of course, I AM STRAIGHT huh, I am always fascinated by the form of the female human body. Girls are my weakness.

I am somewhat a master of all straits, or just trying to be, and yet I am a master of none. I can sometimes give advice but always require a second opinion. I can oftentimes solve hard problems you want me to solve, but I am always having problems solving my own. I always take the hardest way out, and I always compromise things. My head is full of ideas, but I find it hard realizing them.

One good thing I am proud of is that I am not a blamer. I believe that whatever happens to my life is never another man's doing but my own. I look back to the things that happened in my life, both good and bad, and I just smile instead of being sad, and i tell myself, what a wonderful life i had. I always make sure that I make a Life not just a living. Have a career not just a job.

I live each day as if it were the last. I never cared for tomorrow, I know its not really good, but I just dont know why. I believe things happen for a reason, and I always believe that life will find its own way.

I just dont know why most people believe that I am tough, full of confidence, a true man, a real man, as if there is nothing i cant do. Some even believed I have girlfriends left and right! hahaha.. But the truth is, I am no good in relationships, no one has truly owned me. And I envy those people who are successful in their relationships. I can always hear them say to me, "biliba jud nako nimo bai." Honestly, my greatest failure? Was that I was never man enough to keep my family intact.

Now I am a single parent, if I were to chose between Half Cup Full or Half Cup Empty, then it is Half Cup Empty. I once thought it was Half Cup Full but later on i realized it was Half empty. My life is half empty.

I am not charismatic nor I am religious but I have faith. And many times I asked from HIM and it was given. And just to be honest, it such a shame, that I am never worthy of HIM.

Hayst. I am already 27 years old as of this post. Huh But I cant really find where to put myself, maybe its about time, to let life make its way and decide for myself.

whew!! taas taas jud da!!! anyways, thanks for reading (if you did read).. :-)

by the way, Thanks to all CBS admin for giving me a chance to be a part of this community. Its really an honor to be with you guys..

Cory Aquino Died - Cause Colon Cancer

2009-08-01T06:52:00.006+08:00

Cory Aquino, 76 years of age, died Saturday morning at 3:18 am. The cause of death was advanced colon cancer. Diagnosed last year and now her long fight against her colon cancer finally ended. Cory Aquino then went on a cardiac arrest which ended her life. The mother of Philippine democracy, the icon of Philippine freedom, the women who ousted a powerful dictator of her time, finally rested in peace. It was for the first time in the world that the civilian people were called to defend the military against an oppressor.

Our prayers are always with you as you journey into a higher life, in heaven. Just yesterday I thought of sending you a letter, just as many thousand people who have did, especially the youth. But this morning I was too late.

I always remember her, as I was watching the news, with her yellow dress on, a trademark that she alway

s carries.

I was still young then,

but I can still recall how she led a nation. She went to office as the first Filipina to have a seat in Malacañang Palace. Driven by the force of the people, a hope of an entire nation, who before her was a nation of unrest. Before her seat as President, turmoil was evident and even during her time, during the Quo, she stood firm, and with the strength of God and the people on her side, she succeeded.

Not only in the Philippines, but also to the entire world, she showed the capacity of a woman. She embraced all fear and all doubts after the death of her good husband Ninoy Aquino. She is a Philippine beloved and a lover of our nation, a true Filipina Heroine.

“She was headstrong and single-minded in one goal, and that was to remove all vestiges of an entrenched dictatorship," Raul C. Pangalangan, former dean of the Law School at the University of the Philippines, said in 2009. "We all owe her in a big way."

Because of her, we the Filipino people learned the true meaning of freedom. Since then, many changed. We became more aware and more conscious about the true duty of a Government official or agency, the importance of press freedom, the people’s rights, and many more important aspects that we all share the same today.

And it was only in her Presidency that I have seen what should all presidents be, free from corruption. Maria Corazon Cojuangco Aquino was a woman of good faith in God, God fearing, and a lover of all people.

Our prayers will always be with you as you embark on your new journey in life, a life of light, peace, and joy. It is a life much more different from the life that was offered to you while you were in Earth. Rest in peace President Corazon Aquino.

Michael Jackson Died - Passed Away

2009-06-26T10:42:00.005+08:00

Michael Jackson at the age of 50 died yesterday, the cause of death was cardiac arrest. I was in shock when I found it out on Facebook thru a friend about this tragic loss of a great artist.

Michael Jackson contributed greatly in the music industry and entertainment. His influence spread throughout the world, transforming many areas of music, particularly influencing, Dance, Hip Hop and R&B. Being dubbed as the “King of Pop”, Michael Jackson showed the world his concert styles entertaining huge number of crowds. Doing the “Robot Dance” and “Moon Walk”. His audiences and fans come in many ages, from teen to adults; even my mother liked his songs. My personal favorite was “I’ll be there” a 70’s hit when Michael Jackson was still with the band called Jackson 5 together with his brother. And now was revised by Mariah Carey and American R&B singer Trey Lorenz.

During his career Michael Jackson faced many controversial issues that includes a child abuse accusation by a 13-year-old child named Jordan Chandler and his father Evan Chandler. Also rumors of health problems such as Vitiligo and Lupus. Michael Jackson in an interview with Oprah, admitted he has Vitiligo, a very rare skin disease that affects only 1% to 2% of the population. Vitiligo is a skin disease that causes the skin or other parts of the body to loose its pigment therefore loosing its color and making the eyes sensitive to light. The treatments he uses for his condition further lighten his skin tone, and, with the application of makeup to even out blotches, he could appear very pale.

Seven Reasons Why a Scientist Believes in God

2009-06-17T13:37:00.003+08:00

While others believe, some still doubt. But when questions made unanswered, there is only one absolute answer you can turn to, and that is GOD. I share to you a very wonderful written master piece by a Scientist, revealing to us the existence of our Heavenly Creator.

I say "Faith is strongly believing in something unreal and without proof, that because of the strength of your belief, you have made real the things that you believe in.. Like God, Hope, and Love."

Seven Reasons Why a Scientist Believes in God
By: A. CRESSY MORRISON,
Former President of the New York Academy of Sciences

WE ARE STILL IN THE DAWN of the scientific age, and every increase of light reveals more brightly the handiwork of an intelligent Creator. We have made stupendous discoveries; with a spirit of scientific humility and of faith grounded in knowledge we are approaching ever nearer to an awareness of God.

For myself, I count seven reasons for my faith:

First: By unwavering mathematical law we can prove that our universe was designed and executed by a great engineering intelligence.

Suppose you put ten pennies, marked from one to ten, into your pocket and give them a good shuffle. Now try to take them out in sequence from one to ten, putting back the coin each time and shaking them all again. Mathematically we know that your chance of first drawing number one is one in ten; of drawing one and two in succession, one in 100; of drawing one, two and three in succession, one in 1000, and so on; your chance of drawing them all, from number one to number ten in succession, would reach the unbelievable figure of one in ten billion.

By the same reasoning, so many exacting conditions are necessary for life on the earth that they could not possibly exist in proper relationship by chance. The earth rotates on its axis 1000 miles an hour at the equator; if it turned at 100 miles an hour, our days and nights would be ten times as long as now, and the hot sun would likely burn up our vegetation each long day while in the long night any surviving sprout might well freeze.

Again the sun, source of our life, has a surface temperature of 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and our earth is just far enough away so that this "eternal life" warms us just enough and not too much ! If the sun gave off only one half its present radiation, we would freeze, and if it gave as much more, we would roast.

The slant of the earth, tilted at an angle of 23 degrees, gives us our seasons; if the earth had not been so tilted, vapors from the ocean would move north and south, piling up for us continents of ice. If our moon were, say, only 50,000 miles away instead of its actual distance, our tides might be so enormous that twice a day all continents would be submerged; even the mountains could soon be eroded away. If the crust of the earth had only been ten feet thicker, there would be no oxygen, without which animal life must die. Had the ocean been a few feet deeper, carbon dioxide and oxygen would have been absorbed and no vegetable life could exist.

It is apparent from these and a host of other examples that there is not one chance in billions that life on our planet is an accident.

Second: The resourcefulness of life to accomplish its purpose is a manifestation of an all-pervading Intelligence.

What life itself is, no man has fathomed. It has neither weight nor dimensions, but it does have force; a growing root will crack a rock. Life has conquered water, land and air, mastering the elements, compelling them to dissolve and reform their combinations.

Life, the sculptor, shapes all living things; an artist, it designs every leaf of every tree, and colors every flower. Life is a musician and has taught each bird to sing its love song, the insects to call one another in the music of their multitudinous sounds. Life is a sublime chemist, giving taste to fruits and spices, and perfume to the rose, changing water and carbonic acid into sugar and wood, and, in so doing, releasing oxygen that animals may have the breath of life.

Behold an almost invisible drop of protoplasm, transparent, jellylike, capable of motion, drawing energy from the sun. This single cell, this transparent mist-like droplet, holds within itself the germ of life, and has power to distribute this life to every living thing, great and small. The powers of this droplet are greater than our vegetation and animals and people, for all life came from it. Nature did not create life; fire-blistered rocks and a saltless sea could not meet the necessary requirements.

Who, then, has put it here?

Third: Animal wisdom speaks irresistibly of a good Creator who infused instinct into otherwise helpless little creatures.

The young salmon spends years at sea, then comes back to his own river, and travels up the very side of the river into which flows the tributary where he was born. What brings him back so precisely? If you transfer him to another tributary he will know at once that he is off his course and he will fight his way down and back to the main stream and then turn up against the current to finish his destiny accurately.

Even more difficult to solve is the mystery of eels. These amazing creatures migrate at maturity from ponds and rivers everywhere - those from Europe across thousands of miles of ocean - all bound for the same abysmal deeps near Bermuda. There they breed and die. The little ones, with no apparent means of knowing anything except that they are in a wilderness of water, nevertheless start back and find their way not only to the very shore from which their parents came but thence to the selfsame rivers, lakes or little ponds. No American eel has ever been caught in Europe, no European eel in American waters. Nature has even delayed the maturity of the European eel by a year or more to make up for its longer journey. Where does the directional impulse originate?

Fourth: Man has something more than animal instinct - the power of reason.

No other animal has ever left a record of its ability to count ten, or even to understand the meaning of ten. Where instinct is like a single note of a flute, beautiful but limited, the human brain contains all the notes of all the instruments in the orchestra. No need to belabor this fourth point; thanks to human reason we can contemplate the possibility that we are what we are only because we have received a spark of Universal Intelligence.

Fifth: Provision for all living is revealed in such phenomena as the wonders of genes.

So tiny are these genes that, if all of them responsible for all living people in the world could be put in one place, there would be less than a thimbleful. Yet these genes inhabit every living cell and are the keys to all human, animal and vegetable characteristics. A thimble is a small place to hold all the individual characteristics of almost three billion human beings. However, the facts are beyond question.

Here evolution really begins - at the cell, the entity which holds and carries the genes. That the ultra-microscopic gene can absolutely rule all life on earth is an example of profound cunning and provision that could emanate only from a Creative Intelligence; no other hypothesis will serve.

Sixth: By the economy of nature, we are forced to realize that only infinite wisdom could have foreseen and prepared with such astute husbandry.

Many years ago a species of cactus was planted in Australia as a protective fence. Having no insect enemies in Australia, the cactus soon began a prodigious growth; the alarming abundance persisted until the plants covered an area as long and wide as England, crowding inhabitants out of the towns and villages, and destroying their farms. Seeking a defense, entomologists scoured the world; finally they turned up an insect which lived exclusively on cactus, and would eat nothing else. It would breed freely, too; and it had no enemies in Australia. So animal soon conquered vegetable, and today the cactus pest has retreated - and with it all but a small protective residue of the insects, enough to hold the cactus in check forever.

Such checks and balances have been universally provided. Why have not fast-breeding insects dominated the earth? Because they have no lungs such as man possesses; they breathe through tubes. But when insects grow large, their tubes do not grow in ratio to the increasing size of the body. Hence there never has been an insect of great size; this limitation on growth has held them all in check. If this physical check had not been provided, man could not exist. Imagine meeting a hornet as big as a lion !

Seventh: The fact that man can conceive the idea of God is in itself a unique proof.

The conception of God rises from a divine faculty of man, unshared with the rest of our world - the faculty we call imagination. By its power, man and man alone can find the evidence of things unseen. The vista that power opens up is unbounded; indeed, as man's perfected imagination becomes a spiritual reality, he may discern in all the evidence of design and purpose the great truth that heaven is wherever and whatever; that God is everywhere and in everything that nowhere so close as in our hearts.

It is scientifically as well as imaginatively true, as the Psalmist said: The heavens declare the Glory of God and the firmament showeth His handiwork.

Philippine Independence Day – Freedom from Spain 2009

2009-06-12T15:13:00.006+08:00

111 years of freedom. 111 years of change, in leadership, change as a nation, and the lifestyle of all people.

We enjoy the freedom to this very moment. Its because of the triumph of the leaders who once fought a mighty empire. National Heroes as we may call them. But what kind of people are they? Those people are farmers, who carry with them bolos and knives. The true Filipino who owns this day are the Katipuneros, who are farmers, peasants, and fishermen who sacrificed their lives for their family to enjoy freedom, for us also to enjoy today.

And can we still see these kind of leaders now-a-days? Those people on the Senate? Congress? What about those people who are aspiring to be President and a leader of our nation? Can we see the blood and spirit of a Katipunero flowing in them? Will they die for our nation?

I know it is a fantasy to dream of such a leader. All we have now are people who manipulate the law. For their own good, for their own interests, and for them to satisfy their greed. Now its up to us to choose the lesser evil. They got all the same intentions, they understand the needs and desires of the poor, and use them to promote themselves and give promises. But in the end, the same things happen all over again. Once seated, its payback time for those who made them win and who gave them the most votes and influence. And its a sad thing, that it will go on until the end of the President's term. Leaving behind the promises that are meant to be broken.

Now I ask all of you who wants to be President. Will you die for our country?

Dr. Hayden Kho Katrina Halili Scandal Victims

2009-05-28T19:28:00.003+08:00

I don’t know if any of you will agree on my point of view about this sensitive topic. Any comments are accepted however.

With all respect to women, I believe that Dr. Hayden Kho is also a victim. Although Mr. Kho violated Law on Violence Against Women and perhaps Ethical Code for Physicians, it doesn’t mean that Dr. Hayden Kho should be punished for expressing himself thru the videos that he made. It is just similar to keeping a naked picture of your girlfriend on your wallet. He may have taken the video secretly, but it was clear that there was no intention on his part to release it to the public. He only wants to keep it to himself. Considering that there are already videos, a number of it already, that he took before there was Katrina Halili.

He should however face the consequences, like what Katrina Halili wants, for the PRC to revoke the license of Dr. Kho, but I don’t think he needs to go to prison for this. He needs to pay too. The main focus should be on the individuals who, without permission from him, extracted the files from his laptop and published the videos on the Internet. Therefore damaging the lives to those people involved. Making Katrina Halili to have the most of the damage. I believe that people should not be so judgmental with Hayden or with Katrina. They are the victims. I am saying this because, I always hear different points of view from different people, and all are not good and are focused mainly on the people on the video, which I believe is wrong. What we should be after are those people who are the root of this , those people who opened Kho’s password protected laptop and keeping a copies of the video and publishing it on the net.
