DOUBLE KNOCKOUT FOR PINOYS

DOUBLE KNOCKOUT FOR PINOYS . While Manny Pacquiao convincingly knocked out Erik Morales in the 3 rd round of their bout in Las Vegas, Sarah Geronimo knocked out the audience with her terrific rendition of the Philippine National anthem, just before the fight. Although Sarah was already in the U.S. on a concert tour, she could not legally perform outside of that concert tour, and needed another entertainer visa especially for the fight. With only 5 days left before the fight, VIVA President Vic Del Rosario (Sarah's manager) turned to Atty Gurfinkel, who was also able to score a knockout when he got Sarah approved in a record time of two days.   Sarah, who once only dreamed of winning a singing contest, faced her biggest international audience ever.   She thanks Manny for giving her the opportunity to sing, and Atty Gurfinkel for making it possible to do so on such short notice. Pictured at ringside are Atty Gurfinkel and Sarah just before the start of the fight.
