Hi, Ded ... yes, I only learned about Pacquiao's visit to the condemned woman from Myrna - who keeps up to date with Philippines' news on a daily basis - at teatime last night ... after I'd posted the undernoted thread which, unfortunately, has had no replies to it so far, but is still, nonetheless accessible:

Quite possibly :icon_rolleyes: the reason no~one has responded to my thread is because I made a rather scathing reference to the 'Heid Bummer' in the Phils ... when, I'm pretty sure, the Aquino Clan has many (dare I say?) deluded supporters on here who regarded his mother, the late Cory Aquino, as something of a "Saint". However, when one studies a bit of Filipino history (as I've done) such a notion would appear to fall somewhat short of the reality.

Anyway ... :anerikke: ... each to their own as the saying goes. :wink:

Having got that "off my chest", so to speak, Pacquiao appears to be a good, decent man, by all accounts ... and I can only earnestly hope and :pray: that his valiant efforts to appeal to the "better nature" of the Indonesian President are ultimately rewarded and that the life of this naive young woman is spared. :xxgrinning--00xx3:
