Flashback: Tita Lila's Birthday in Las Vegas Family is forever.  August 11, 2001. Tess, Baby Nica and I met the titas in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was the second year Tess & Tita Lila had an August celebration together in Vegas. The first one was 1999.  My dad drove Nica & her parents to Oakland Airport. Nica's First Time in Las Vegas We stayed in Monte Carlo Hotel (?) The titas were the first ones to find out that Baby Jian was on his way I think one of them made a comment that Tess looked a little heavy (they might've been wondering already).  I'll post our photos from 8/12 and 8/13 in the next couple days. Please come back. 💬 Your Turn! Do you have a favorite family flashback? Share it with us in the comments!

JR De Guzman: I'm Your Son, Papa | Full Comedy Special

-
Image
I love this dude! Like me, JR was born in the Philippines. But in the beginning of his comedy special, he mentioned that he migrated with his family when he was only one. I've been following JR on his socials and watching his comedy videos. I hope he blows up like Jokoy. Follow and support this Fil-Am. "I’m Your Son, Papa" is JR De Guzman’s debut one-hour stand-up special filmed live in the vibrant city of Las Vegas. In this special, JR shares and sings the true stories of his Filipino-American upbringing, filled with laughter, love, and the complexities of family life. From R&B songs about Asian masculinity and representation to smooth sultry songs about division in America, this special will heal you and heal the world (JR wrote this part, and demanded that it stay in the description). Congratulations JR De Guzman! 🇵🇭🇺🇸 Mabuhay! 🇵🇭 October is Filipino American History Month. Throughout all of October, we'll not only be highlighting present-day Filipi...

I have agreed to a Nov. 5 fight with reigning WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas. Boxing is my passion. I miss what I’d been doing inside the gym and atop the ring. My entire training camp will be held here in the Philippines so I can attend to my legislative works. This is my campaign promise and I’m determined to keep it," Pacquiao in a statement.

Manny Pacquiao vs Oscar De La Hoya 2008-Full Fight-HBO Boxing

-
Image
Watch Manny Pacquiao’s signature triumph over Oscar de la Hoya that catapulted the young prizefighter from the Philippines into a superstar personality. Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao, also billed as The Dream Match, was a professional boxing welterweight superfight. The bout took place on December 6, 2008 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Pacquiao defeated De La Hoya via technical knockout when De La Hoya decided not to continue with the fight before the start of the ninth round. The card was a co-production of Bob Arum's Top Rank Boxing and De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions and was aired live on pay-per-view (PPV) on HBO PPV. The fight is notable for propelling Manny Pacquiao to full-blown superstar status in much of the western world (mostly in The United States), as Oscar De La Hoya symbolically "passed the torch", so to speak, to Pacquiao.
