TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS KOMIKS COVERS

 

TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS KOMIKS COVERS
 
          I tagged it “Traditional Christmas” because most of us know that December 25 is not really the day of birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It’s the wrong day, month and year of beginning. Christmas around the world, however, have been observed for centuries on this day.
          Daily, weekly and monthly publications follow the same the tradition, and their covers speak of the annual event. 
 
          Here are some Philippine komiks with Christmas as the theme or part of the layout greetings of the covers.

          Noong Disyembre 17, 1976, Ang National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) ay itinatag sa pamamagitan ng Presidential Decree Nos. 1003 at 1003-A upang mabigyang pagkilala ang mga mahalaga at katangi-tanging gawa at tagumpay sa larangan ng agham at teknolohiya.

MANNY “PACMAN” PACQUIAO:
Mga Kaalaman Tungkol sa Pambansang Kamao
          Nagtapos si Pacquiao ng Elemetarya sa Saavedra Saway Elementary School sa General Santos City, pero huminto siya sa pag-aaral ng high school dahil sa lubhang kahirapan. Noong 2007, pinagkalooban siya ng high school diploma ng Department of Education matapos niyang ipinasa ang High School Equivalency Exam.
                                                          o     O     o

          Sa edad na 14 anyos, si Pacquiao ay lumuwas ng Maynila at nagsimulang mag-boxing sa amateur. Nagsimula naman ang professional career niya sa edad na 16 anyos. Siya ay tumitimbang lamang noon ng 104-106 pounds.
                                                          o     O     o

          Alam niyo ba kung sa anong weight division nagsimula ang professional career ni Manny Pacquiao? Ito ay sa Light Flyweight Division noong mid-1990s, sa timbang na 106 pounds. Mula sa timbang na Light Flyweight umakyat na ng mahigit 40 pounds ang timbang ni Pacquiao na huling napagwagian ang titulo sa Super Welterweight (o Light Middleweight) Division sa catch weight na 150 pounds noong Nobyembre 13, 2010.
                                                          o     O     o

          Ang una niyang nakalaban bilang isang professional boxer (January 22, 1995) ay si Edmund “Enting” Ignacio, na kaniyang tinalo sa pamamagitan ng unanimous decision.
                                                          o     O     o

          Ang unang pagkatalo ay tinamo naman ni Pacquiao sa isang kapuwa Filipino – si Rustico Torrecampo – nang siya ay mapatumba nito sa ikatlong round noong Pebrero 9, 1996. Si Torrecampo rin ang masasabing tanging boksingero, maliban kay Juan Manuel Marquez, na naka-knockout kay Pacquiao.
                                                          o     O     o

          Sa Flyweight Division ng WBC nakuha ni Pacquiao ang kaniyang unang world boxing title, nang pabagsakin niya si Chatchai Sasakul sa ikawalong round noong Disyembre 4, 1998. Buhat noon, napagwagian na niya ang titulo sa walong weight division, isang kaganapang hindi na marahil mabubura sa kasaysayan ng boxing. Si Bob Arum ay nagwika na si Pacquiao ay “the greatest boxer that ever lived.”
                                                          o     O     o

          Binansagan siyang “Pacman” dahil sa isa-isa niyang tinatatalo at “inuubos” (katulad ng video game na Pacman) ang mga pinakamagagaling na boksingero ng kaniyang henerasyon kabilang sina Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Hector Velasquez, Juan Manuel Marquez, David Diaz, Oscar de la Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Joshua Clottey, Antonio Margarito at Suga Shane Mosley.
                                                          o     O     o

          Ang boong pangalan ng kaniyang asawang si Jinkee ay Maria Geraldine Jamora Pacquiao. Naka-tattoo sa pagitan ng kaliwang balikat at siko ni Manny Pacquiao ang pangalan ni Jinkee at ng apat na anak nila: Jimuel, Michael, Princess at Queenie. Sa kaliwang braso naman niya, kung saan nanggagaling ang pang-knoutout niyang left hook, ay naka-tattoo ang isang bumubulusok na bulalakaw.
                                                          o     O     o

          Si Pacquiao ang kauna-unahang Filipino athlete na itinampok sa postage stamp ng Pilipinas
                                                          o     O     o

          Unang lumabas si Pacquiao sa pelikulang Di Ko kayang Tanggapin Dong (2000). Nagbida siya sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon sa pelikulang Lisensyadong Kamao noong December 2005.
