This explains why Chris Tiu was in the Pacquiao match.

Ok. I'm procrastinating again. But this is something I really have to share. I reached this random blog who apparently got this from ate meki (2-bs cs). naamaze lang ako. haha.

apparently, when my dad and mom told me they saw chris tiu's name as sk chairman somewhere (di ko maalala where e. hehe.), it was really him. And now I know why he was in the Pacquiao-Barrera match. GMA is so lucky.

CHRIS TIU IS NOW A KAPUSO!
By Noel Ferrer


Christopher John Alandy-Dy Tiu or Chris Tiu, 23 years old, captain ball and star player of the Ateneo Blue Eagles, a Management Engineering major, an honor student, a budding entrepreneur, SK chairman and occasional model will finally set foot on television for a pioneering primetime television show under the Kapuso Network!

But before anchoring his show whom he topbills with sports icon Manny Pacquiao, he is set to fly to Las Vegas to watch the Pacquiao-Barrera match which will be aired over GMA-7 this Sunday. This is quite an opportunity for this young achiever who has been presented with a lot of program concepts — and who has finally found something that would fit his multi-tasks as student, basketball player, SK chairman and young businessman. While the UE Warriors are up against the La Salle Archers in the UAAP basketball championship, the country stops for the Pacquiao-Barrera fight with an Atenean sportsperson in the front row — Chris Tiu — soon to be conquering a new arena — media! Good luck Chris!

i SPEAK:

GMA Executive Annette Gozon-Abrogar and I are about the happiest people with Chris’s entry in media. As a fellow Management Engineering major like Chris, Annette sees Chris Tiu’s excellence in his fields of endeavor as a good inspiration to the youth and to parents who would want their children to be like Chris.

His media stint is a perfect way to affect more people positively. In an interview with Chris in a magazine, he mentioned a very admirable guiding principle. Chris said, "Success should not be seen as an end, but as a means. The more you’ve achieved, the bigger your responsibility to share it to others. For example, if you are a successful businessman, you should use this opportunity to help other people, by being a just boss who pays fair wages and gives benefits. Use your achievements to help other people, so that they in turn could use what they’ve accomplished in the service of more."

I have mixed feelings about this.
(1) About Manny Pacquiao entering showbiz to do a show -- I really rather see him focus on boxing. Di ko rin maimagine sila nag-uusap ni Chris Tiu.

(2) Chris Tiu in Showbiz/GMA7 -- sorry for being discriminating pero I hope the format of their show has class. Perhaps getting Chris is GMA's strategy of winning more affluent viewers. In my opinion, it's ABSCBN that has done a better job at sport shows and coverage. I hope their new show proves me wrong.

1. Yes ma'am. I can't imagine watching Chris Tiu talk to Manny Pacquiao. Hindi ko po alam kung makakaconnect sila sa isa't isa.

2. Agree again. I like GMA but when it comes to sports coverage, I think ABS has more resources to do it and they're more experienced. Sana nga po maganda yung show na binibigay nila kay Chris Tiu. I just hang on to the hope that he was intelligent enough to really study and assess the offer hopefully with his family's and Ateneo's help.
