    Yeah... my parents used to do that. Make fun of people in front of their faces by speaking Tagalog.

    An older white guy called them out on it though. Turns out he had been stationed at the Philippines and learned the language. My mom was so embarrassed. I thought it was funny.

    I think thats ******ed. I know Americans can be assholes when ur speaking a diff language around them and thats the reason why. I speak Spanish around my rents all the time but would never do that. Its low and cowardly.

    It does **** me off when people have told us to speak English. Then i tell them to shut the **** up and they do.

    I seriously doubt Manny has the time to sit on Twitter all day.

    Twitter is for fighters who fight once every two years or go one long vacations. But it also helps that spelling isnt important.

    Manny is a fighter and in training.

    He doesnt have time for that bull.

    Hurt by critics, Pacman almost quits Twitter

    MANILA, Philippines - Seemingly still not used to being censured, boxer Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao announced Sunday, Feb. 27, that he was to close his Twitter account, @congMP.
    Apparently, Pacquiao received a couple of jabs from users of the popular network site concerning his English—a matter which he took personally.
    He even went to confront one heckler directly, tweeting, “Sorry ha mas matalino ka kay saakin kaya asinso ang buhay mo ako ito simple lang **** tanong sa panginoon ty.”
    According to Pacquiao, opening a Twitter account was a friend’s idea. He only acquiesced to the suggestion thinking it an apt platform to update fans.
    He was humble enough to apologize for his grammar, but Pacman went on to proudly share that inasmuch as he is unfamiliar with the workings of Twitter, he was doing his own tweets, alleging that others of his ilk merely pay people to do the job.
    Pacman’s plan to cancel his account received howls of protests from fans.
    Among those who rushed to Pacquiao’s side was one Pilyosopo who tweeted the Saranggani congeressman, "Your english is too good to be @mannypacquiao's! guess what, i love your 'genuine' english; it's not flawless but you're proud of it."
    Twitter user Chuzlee was equally adamant to stop Pacquiao from proceeding with his plans tweeting emphatically, "No sir Manny...twitter is one way to express yourself...everyone of can't please everybody.. Many people are supporting you!”
    Alexerjohn wrote, "wag nyo pong e private ang account nyo sa twitter wag nyo nlang pong pansinin yan inggit lang po yan."
    Pacquiao was quite thankful with the support as seen in his reply to the fans but was seemingly bent on going forward with his intention late Sunday.
    “Humihingi po ako ng paumanhin sa lhat but I hve 2 delete it tmorrow pro hndi ako nagttampo tlagang ganon may mga tao tlagang iba ang utak.”
    Then again, Pacquiao might have eventually been appeased by the shower of support as he was still tweeting as of this writing.
    “Going back to sarangani to do groundbreaking of additional court building and I'm gonna start my training there God Bless You All,” he Tweeted about five hours ago.
    Pacquiao opened a Twitter account Feb. 20, acquiring more than 4,000 followers barely two days into it. He now has 13,508 followers.
