Marian Rivera binatokan si Manny Pacquiao sa Party Pilipinas, May 15 episode

Marian Rivera and Manny Pacquiao "batok" incident on Party Pilipinas last Sunday, May 15, is still being talked about as people continue to debate if it was just okay or not for Marian Rivera to do it to Manny Pacquiao.

Manny Pacquiao who won the fight against Sugar Shane Mosley last May 8 was given a homecoming party on GMA 7's Sunday musical variety show "Party Pilipinas" where he performed 6 songs (3 English and 3 Tagalog) along with Ogie Alcasid, Janno Gibbs and Lito Camo.

After his performances, Marian Rivera, Manny's co-star in "Show Me Da Manny", made a surprise appearance and there the "batok" incident happened.

Here's a screenshot of what happened:

Marian really hit Manny hard, but for close friends, I think it wasn't a big deal.

But for some viewers, they think it was kinda not proper to do it on live national TV, most especially to a Congressman and Pound-for-Pound King like Manny Pacquiao, who's well-respected and being idolized by many people around the world.

Here's a video of Manny Pacquiao's guesting on Party Pilipinas last Sunday, May 15, with Marian Rivera's "batok" incident happening on the last part:

What's your opinion on this Marian Rivera-Manny Pacquiao "batok" issue?

GenSan's True Colors is Showtime Season 3 Grand Champion / Winner

Another GenSan pride emerged as Grand Champion on ABS-CBN's talent program "Showtime".

The Showtime Season 3: All-Star Barangayan Grand Finals was held this morning, May 14, at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City and proclaimed as grand winner was the group "True Colors" from General Santos City.

The group is now the 2nd from GenSan to win on Showtime. The first was Season 1 grand winner XB GenSan.

"True Colors" got a near-perfect final score of 9.92, with all judges except one gave a perfect 10. The group won P1 million cash prize plus another million peso cash for Barangay West Dadiangas in GenSan, the barangay they're representing in the show.

Watch a video of True Colors' winning performance on Showtime:
Here's the final and official results for Showtime Season 3 Grand Finals:

1. True Colors from Barangay West Dadiangas, General Santos City 9.92 - Grand Champion
2. Vision 20 from Brgy. Sinalhan, Sta. Rosa, Laguna 9.83
3. Yuri Crew from Brgy. Bata, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental 9.75
3. The Next Level Octomix Dancers from Brgy. Libis, Baesa, Caloocan City 9.75
5. Negros Dance Collective from Brgy. Mansilingan, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental 9.67
6. Street Noise from Brgy. Poblacion, Guihulngan, Negros Oriental 9.38
7. Artist Youth of the Philippines from Brgy. Bulac, Sta. Maria, Bulacan 8.67
8. Cool Guyz from Brgy. San Miguel, Majayjay, Laguna 8.58
9. Asian Pride from Brgy. Old Zaniga, Mandaluyong City 8.46

12. Anonymous Edition from Brgy. Palangoy Binangonan, Rizal 8.00

The "Best Intro" award was given to Brgy. Poblacion, Guihulngan, Negros Oriental who cheered for Street Noise. They won a cash prize of P100,000.

"True Colors" was able to make it to Twitter's trending topics in the Philippines but the groups "Yuri Crew" and "Negros Dance Collective" who finished 3rd and 5th respectively were among the trending topics on Twitter not only in the Philippines but also worldwide.

I'm actually rooting ever since for Negros Dance Collective coz their performance was something new and of world-class caliber. What the group did was something you would love to watch over and over again.

I think including kids on the judges' line-up was a bad idea.

Judge Vice Ganda and host Kim Atienza revealed after the grand finals which group they actually loved to win and it's Negros Dance Collective.

True Color's victory as Showtime Season 3 Grand Champion just shows that GenSan is indeed the home of champions. Boxing champs Manny Pacquiao and Nonito Donaire Jr, PBB Big winner Melai Cantiveros, Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 2011 Shamcey Supsup and Showtime's Season 1 Grand Champion are all from GenSan.

LAST GROUP GOT A SCORE OF 1 FROM JUDGE XIAN LIM
While the scores were being shown, a score of 1 was shown coming from judge Xian Lim for the group "Street Noise".

The said score pulled down the group's final average score, which when computed resulted to 9.375.

Though Street Noise won't win even if it was a score of 10, the group still didn't deserve to be given a score of 1.

Vice Ganda defended his crush Xian Lim on Twitter for the latter's controversial score. According to Vice, it was a system error.

vicegandako: "10 ang totoong score ni @XianLimm dun sa isang group. System error kaya 1 lang ang lumabas sa monitor. Wala syang kasalanan."

And since coming from Vice it was supposed to be 10, Street Noise's score should have been 9.75, tied in 3rd place with Yuri Crew and The Next Level Octomix Dancers.

If it was a system error or there was a possibility of a system error, then it's also possible that there were also errors in the scores for other groups.

Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez 3 possible in November 2011

Manny Pacquiao could possibly have Juan Manuel Marquez as his next opponent this coming November 2011.

Mexican boxer Juan Manuel Marquez has already agreed to fight again for the 3rd time with Manny Pacquiao, according to Manny's promoter Bob Arum.

Los Angeles Times reported that Pacquiao and Marquez will fight at a welterweight catch weight of 144 pounds, with Marquez guaranteed with $5million.

However, the Pacquiao vs Marquez is not 100% sure to happen as Marquez's promoter Golden Boy has the contractual opportunity to match the deal and it could put Marquez in the ring against another opponent, still according to Los Angeles Times' report.

So it will really be all up to Golden Boy for the Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 to push through.

Pacquiao and Marquez first fought inside the ring in May 2004 which resulted to a draw. It was a controversial fight as one of the judges admitted after the announcement that he made an error in the scorecards. Pacquiao could have won the fight had it been the said judge did not commit the mistake.

Then Pacquiao faced Marquez again in March 15, 2008, and the Filipino boxer won the match via split decision. It was again a controversial decision. Two judges favored Pacquiao and only one for Marquez, but most boxing analysts believed Marquez should have won the fight.

Since then, Marquez was asking for another rematch with Pacquiao but that time, the latter was firm in his decision not to fight with Marquez again.

And this 2011, the Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 is possible and it's going to be a lot more interesting that Pacquiao's recent fights.

Who do you think will win the fight?

Paris Hilton and Manny Pacquiao on video

Paris Hilton she watched the fight of Manny Pacquiao against Shane Mosley in Las Vegas and Paris made headlines not because she fulfilled her promise to watch the fight, but because she was able to get close with Manny Pacquiao and wife Jinkee Pacquiao.

Paris Hilton and Manny Pacquiao were photographed during the post-fight conference was a hit on the internet and turned out to be more interesting than the fight itself, which according to most boxing fans, was a boring match.

There's a video on Youtube of how Paris and Manny were photographed together. At first, it was the three of them, Manny, Paris and Jinkee, being photographed and later just Manny and Paris with Jinkee being left out on the side.

Jinkee actually didn't know where to position herself during the photo session as Manny was seen on video instructing his wife.

You can also catch Manny on the video looking at Paris' "you know" in two instances. Lol!

It's okay Manny! That's normal!

Here's the video just in case you haven't watched it yet.


Paris Hilton has already hinted on Twitter that she will open a "Paris

Dionisia Pacquiao's birthday wish: Paris Hilton attending her 62nd birthday celebration

Manny Pacquiao's mom Dionisia Pacquiao is turning 62 in 5 days and she reportedly wants American hotel heiress Paris Hilton to attend her birthday celebration.

Mommy Dionisia Pacquiao will for sure have the grandest birthday celebration this coming May 15, a week after his son Manny fought and won against Shane Mosley in Las Vegas.

And even before Manny won the said fight, Dionisia was already promised to receive a green Hermès luxury designer bag worth P1 million as Manny's birthday gift for her, as reported on abs-cbnnews.com last Friday.

But if there's one more thing that would make Mommy Dionisia happier on her birthday is if Paris Hilton would attend her birthday party in GenSan.

Reportedly, upon knowing that his son Manny is now friends with Paris Hilton, she allegedly requested Manny to invite Paris to come for her birthday celebration.

GMA News TV's "On Call" has reported yesterday that among the invited guests at Mommy Dionisia's birthday are Comedy Concert Queen Ai-Ai delas Alas and former President Joseph Estrada, who she worked with in the Star Cinema film "Ang Tanging Pamilya".

And the report also mentioned that Mommy Dionisia indeed wants to invite Paris Hilton on her birthday.

Paris has already revealed on Twitter that she's coming to the Philippines for business and will visit Manny and Jinkee Pacquiao, but she hasn't revealed yet when she is going to the Philippines.

Will Paris grant Mommy Dionisia's birthday wish?
