Philippine Boxers Wins World Cup over Mexican Boxers, 5-1A crushing knockout win by Gerry Peñalosa Sunday powered the Philippines to a 5-1 win over Mexico in their battle for the Boxing World Cup, and helped to take the sting out of Rey ?Boom Boom? Bautista?s fall in one round to another Mexican.A brutal first-round stoppage suffered by the boyish Bautista showed he was wrongly let loose against the rock-fisted Daniel Ponce de Leon of Mexico, who mauled the hapless farmer?s son from Bohol to retain his WBO junior featherweight title.Bautista?s shocking defeat failed to rob the Philippines of the glory of winning the Cup.Boxing World Cup: Philippines versus Mexico Results Davao City?s Gabi (29-3-1, 21 KO?s) WINNER vs Mexico City?s Jose Angel Beranza (30-9-2, 25 KO?s) Banal (13-0-1, 10 KO?s) of ErmitaWINNER KO vs Eric Ortiz (26-6-1, 17 KO?s) of Mexico City Domingo (27-16-3 11 KO?s) of Libac WINNER vs Mexican Miguel Roman (22-0 16 KO?s) Batawang (50-6, 34 KO?s) of...

Pinoy

Pinoy is a demonym we are used for our compatriots here in the Philippines and around the world. We, the Filipinos usually refer to ourselves informally as Pinoy or some times feminine: Pinay, which is formed by taking the last four letters of the word 'Filipino' and adding the diminutive suffix -y. The word was coined by expatriate Filipino Americans during the 1920s and was later adopted by Filipinos. It is sometimes used to display Filipino pride.Pinoy is a term of endearment and is rarely used in formal settings. The term is akin to that of a nickname which is used by close family members and friends so that one who uses it somehow already developed some close ties with Filipinos.The term especially gained popular currency in the late 1970s in the Philippines when a surge in patriotism made a hit song of Filipino folksinger Heber Bartolome's "Tayo'y mga Pinoy" (We are Filipinos), and later with famous Filipino band Bamboo's "Noy-pi" (Pinoy in reversed syllables).In addition...
