Kaban ni D_BystandeR: DILI LAMANG SI MANNY ANG GIPABORAN SA BALAODNON NI KOKO???
I can easily detect a slanted article
written by a columnist like Neal H. Cruz. As for his "tirade" against Koko's
(Pimentel) sponsorship of a bill to exempt Manny Pacquiao from paying taxes to the BIR, it is a well-deserved
assistance duly earned by Manny especially that the BIR under Kim Henares is
trying to make Manny's life harder by
subjecting the People's Champ to a debilitating effect of a political
persecution to squeeze him dry of his finances when the BIR issued garnishment
of his bank accounts and Manny has only heaved a sigh of relief when he was
able to untangle himself from its crippling effects through his battery of
lawyers who fought it out in court. It is already known that Pacman is allied
with VP Binay's political party that is why political pressure is somehow
applied to him because P-NOy is already committed
to support the candidacy of Mar Roxas in 2016 to become his possible successor
in Malacanang. But the tax exemption proposed by Koko does not only focus on
Pacman but to other people engaged in the same industry. I find it a laudable move
of Koko because boxing is not like how Neal Cruz pictured it as a kind of "money-making
game" because many boxers already die inside the ring. And if you are
lucky not to die in the middle of a fight, chances are that you will most
likely suffer "Parkinson's" when you reach old age like what happened
to Muhammad Ali.
