The Jologs program of the GMA 7 has the making of a potential hit.  It delves into the day-to-day hassles that most of us go into as we walk through the rigors of life.  But instead of adding insult to injury, Jologs actually shows the enlightened and lighter side of life’s commonplace requisites.

But the main attraction of the program is the meaning of Jologs.  Who is a Jologs?  Well, if my opinion is not different from that of a real Jologs, I must say that he or she is one who has some sort of intelligent insanity or an ignorant intelligence.  Get what I mean?

Oh, it takes an Ethel Booba to understand me and if you’re not Jologs, how can you ever understand?  By the way, do you remember when Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo said that she won’t run in the 2004 presidential elections and yet she actually ran?  Also, did you get what she really meant when she said “I am sorry” on national television only to say that she is really elected by the people?  Is our President some kind of a Jologs?  JUst a question.

Hermie River has an article at PACLAND entitled “Betrayal of Trust” explaining among other things the stiff requirements of governing boxing bodies relative to matches like the Pacquiao-Larios fight.  He made mention of some belt-holders who thrashed their title belts because of disagreements with the sponsoring organizations.  And it seems like Manny Pacquiao will have his share of their predicament going into the July 2 showdown with Larios.

Hermie Rivera’s opinion hits the nail right on the head.  There is, in fact, too much dirty politics in boxing brought by some barb-wire conditions exacted on the main protagonists of the sport–the boxers, albeit, the champions themselves.  Is it any wonder then why we have seen a new paradigm in boxing?  Boxers are thinking humans, not instinctive animals.  They have wits and they know when they are given wastes. 

A boxer actually puts his life on line just to please people.  Yes, he needs the money but they should be treated like the important customer who is willing to pay any price if he gets what he really wants.  Problem is, many times, after going through the ordeal in the ring, our boxers still have to withstand the blows of people outside the ring.  If these sponsoring organizations don’t make some more humane measures and if promoters don’t strike the balance between fighters’ welfare and their profits, the boxers will have no choice but to find other more boxer-friendly entities and create another paradigm that might be gravely detrimental to the sport of boxing as a whole.
