Pacman's refusal to retire

BAD OMEN? A middle-aged woman fan of Manny Pacquiao said Pacman’s ignoring God’s call for him to retire, even if only in his dream, is a “bad omen.” The woman said in a talk with an Ear informer that “if God can’t make Pacquiao retire, perhaps Floyd Mayweather can do what the Lord failed to do.”

SADDENED. The woman, who said she has been Pacman’s rabid fan for years and has been accurately predicting his victories, now sees foreboding in his coming fight. “Simbako,” she said, “pero imong ibaliwala ang hangyo sa Ginoo dili maayo.”
