Dr. Jose Rizal left the world, specially the country with his universal ideologies. And these ideologies become part of the Philippine culture.
If Jesus Christ is the Jew’s Anointed, Rizal is the Philippine Anointed.

Rizal has outstanding achievements through his unusual brilliance. He is a great physician, poet, artist, scientist, thinker, raconteur, wit and certainly, a novelist.

With these great qualities, up to the present times, people still believe in him and in his teachings. Some considered him as Bathalang Ama with the existence of Rizalista Religion.

Now you can smell Manny Pacquiao. Manny Pacquiao has an official fragrance now. Some people may ask if it has droplets of Manny's sweat or extracts of his testosterone or blood, but it doesn't. According to Neal Harris, Pacquiao's perfumier, the perfume doesn’t smell like a boxer or a boxer socks. The smell could be citrusy, woody with hints of lavender and nutmeg, sagacious for smack in the middle, sweet, rich, and musky.

Pacquiao will do the ribbon cutting in the grand opening of his new All-Manny-All-The-Time Merchandise Store in Hollywood. Based from the discussion of Harris and Pacquiao's lawyers, the boxer made the scent. So this is his masterpiece. There are 15 different orders he smelled them and lessened it. Pacquiao wanted freshness in all his perfume. The creation started last January when Harris and Pacquiao met at the boxer's Los Angeles condominium to breathe in their way through many little glass vials of scents. He hired two Filipino chemists known as Chemical Sisters (who were also professors) to manufacture the set of cologne chosen by Manny.
