PRESIDENTIAL ORDER OF MERIT AWARDEE OF 2009 BUBOY FERNANDEZ

In the occasion of the Pacquiao Hatton fight on May 02, 2009 this Presidential Order of Merit is hereby presented to Mr. Buboy Fernandez for his exemplary work in the field of boxing. The order of Merit is one of the highest individual honors that can be bestowed to any civilian and Mr. Fernandez through years of perseverance, hard work and being Manny's personal uto uto has shown that he will stop at nothing to ensure that the peoples champ would be the best fighter he can possibly be.

More than being a quasi trainer to the pound for pound king, Fernandez' contribution to the success of Manny is being the official ego booster bar none. When Manny wonders if he is indeed good looking , the ever trusted Buboy is there with his answer: "John Lloyd ikaw ba yan?" or when the champion asks Buboy if he needs an interpreter for television interviews, leave it to Buboy to say "Manny, parang born ka dito sa states a?"

SI BUBOY PALA ANG TYPE MO HA...

You've always been there for Manny, through thick or thin. I wouldn't be surprised if you told Jinkee that you not Manny was the one who got involved with Ara Mina.

Who answers the call when fans who cant get close to Manny decide to take your picture instead even if they have no clue who you are so they have proof that they were in Vegas too? that's you Buboy.

"BAY THANK YOU SA LONG SLEEVES BAY"

You are the Scottie Pippen..no the Toni Kukoc..um no the Steve Kerr to Manny's Jordan, the Wally Bayola to Manny's Vic Sotto, the Bernard Palanca to Manny's Piolo,... you get the point.

SPEAK ENGLISH FREDDIE C'MON!!

Who cares if Manny never listens to your advice during fights. even if Manny can't hear you when you tell him "alisto lang bay" we hear you Buboy, we do. besides, Manny never listens to Freddie Roach either. not that he doesn't want to but he cant understand every freaking word that comes out of Roach's mouth!

I look forward to seeing you in a barong in the halls of congress when I meet with Congressman Pacquiao in a year or two from now. i know you will do an excellent job in advising Manny on what the hell is he going to do in the house of representatives. just bring the same enthusiasm you exude and I'm pretty sure Manny will be one of the best lawmakers the Philippines would ever have. c'mon he can't do any worse than Lito Lapid can he?

For your undying loyalty to the Philippines' pride, being the pound-for-pound freeloader, ang pambansang alalay....

I the President of the greatest country in the whole wide universe, by the powers of grayskull bestow upon you the Presidential Order of Merit this 1st day of may 2009 near the gates of Malacanang, Manila Philippines.
