Manny snubs Fred Lim

Back when Lito Atienza was City Mayor of Manila, Manny Pacquiao would always kick-off his return to the Philippines with a parade in the nation's capital (he would always skip Makati because of another of the former Manila Mayor's political foes). Instead this time, he'll pay Atienza a visit in his office in QC. Pacquiao's camp cited scheduling concerns for his unavailability for the traditional motorcade, but c'mon, some sportswriters maybe unwilling to write about it, but we all know the score. Payback's a bitch, ain't it.

More so, Pacman took it personally when Fred Lim had his Knockout Bar along Baywalk demolished reportedly due to back taxes. On the other hand, why couldn't Manny pay his back taxes of about Php 120,000? That's chump change for the amounts he doles out when he attends to his vices.

Anyways, kasi naman, Mayor, you're like that despotic BF of the MMDA, instant demolition. I've got no problem with your no-nonsense style which is cool, but a little patience and diplomacy will go a long long way. Al Capone said as much. Ooopss. Wrong guy to quote! Man, I've got a tirade against the MMDA just waiting to fire at will. Mmm. Have been wanting to put up a rant blog. Anyone down with that?

But anyways, it's also all over for the Pacman with ABS-CBN as he's signed up with GMA. Never liked how ABS does business even when I was with Solar. Masyadong garapal at bastos. If you ask me, the split between Sky Cable and Solar will have no effect on the Tieng group of channels. They've got some pretty good folks in that company who know what they're doing like me old boss, Jude. So best of luck to me old mates.
