This isn't a formal event, but oftentimes filipinos get together with their families to watch Manny Pacquiao.
This is a way for filipinos of any age or gender to have something to cheer for or to sob for, either or, they do so together, as a community.

Pacquiao is a huge icon for filipinos, he is an amazing role model for the people and a splendid icon for the Philippines.
