Blacktown Advocate ran Wednesday an inside-back page story about the capacity crowd at Blacktown Workers Club that watched last Sunday’s telecast fight between Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacquiao and American boxer Shane Mosley.
The article, written by Peter Theodosiou, reported that “it was standing room only in the club’s auditorium” and “throughout the fight the crowd chanted Pacquiao’s name.”
“When the referee raised his hand to declare him victorious, many in the crowd leaped into the air in delight.
“The Workers Club got into the spirit by serving traditional Filipino dishes.”
The Pacman article also carried comments of Romy Cayabyab, The Filipino Australian publisher and editor.
Cayabyab said that Pacquiao’s success gave the Filipino community a sense of pride, adding that Pacquiao ‘gives us a sense of ourselves, which is huge in every Filipino community around the world, and especially in Australia.’
The Blacktown weekly is published by the Cumberland Newspaper Group, and is circulated to 16 suburbs in the Blacktown area.
