Is Philippines on State of War? No!

Is Philippines on State of War? During the 2nd Association of South East Asian Nation (ASEAN) in New York last weekend, the Philippine Flag was displayed upside down with the red being on top. Now what does this mean for most Filipinos? This means that when the blue and red stripes were switched, it indicate a state of war.

But the question is with whom? With no one because it was an honest mistake according to Rebecca Thompson, the US Embassy Spokesperson.

"This was an honest mistake. The U.S. treasures its close relationship and close partnership with the Philippines which were demonstrated this past week during President Aquino’s trip to the U.S., with the signing of the MCC Compact, the US-ASEAN meeting, and the meeting of our two Presidents that followed it.

"Fighting Pride" lyrics

Intro words by Manny Pacquiao:

Deliver me from this fight
To honor You and my country

Drum of War (Intro Theme)

Verse:
He stays a humble guy
From Sarangani Mindanao
His passion is in the ring

He never talks trash
Speaks through his mighty hand
He will dispose off anyone

Bridge:
Approach Roach to coach (He's got the heart of gold)
The rise of the greatest champ (Rising Manny is our champ)
The crowd they're going wild
They love his exciting fights

Chorus:
Pacquiao!, Number one pound for pound
Pacquiao!, Faster than the speed of light
Pacquiao!, You're gonna fear for your life

Pacquiao!, Filipino fighting pride
Pacquiao!, Power punch when he strikes
Pacquiao!, Knocks you out to terminate

Rap:
La Cucaracha that created dinamita
All the legends in the ring have lost a big problema
De La Hoya, threw in the towel
So he better change his name to golden girl the Mexicana
Understand that Filipino number 1
Pacman the one, will be the only one,
Smash you to the ground, taking all the crown.
Pound for pound!, round for round!,

No wonder Erik, Morales got knocked out
Marco Antonio Barrera got knocked out
Ricky Hatton can't believe he got knocked out
He was messin with the best, he went down like the rest
