Last Sunday was another day for Filipinos to be proud as their people's champ, Manny Pacquiao, got his sweet revenge and took home the victory via unanimous decision over Timothy Bradley, who is no longer undefeated. With this victory, Pacman definitely caught the world's attention again, but this time, he is not the only Pacquiao who is the talk of the town.

Dionisia Pacquiao, Manny Pacquiao's mother, is known for not watching her son's matches as she despises seeing her son get hurt, but this time, she was in the venue to watch his son's all-out war with Timothy Bradley. During the match, she caught the cameraman's attention, as she was seen praying and doing strange gestures. Watch the video below:

Fans online reacted upon sight of the video. Some laughed it out and even called her actions "Pac You" when she pointed her middle finger to perhaps somewhere or someone only she knows, some found it strange and confusing, and some even lashed out and said racist comments and referred to her actions as 'natural' to someone who belongs to a third world country.

Some even compared her actions to some folklore in El Salvador who used to use the scripture to cast hexes and spells on their enemies. Although no one knows what exactly Mama Dionisia was doing, but whatever she did, it worked. Manny won the WBO welterweight belt.

What do you think readers? Do you think Dionisia Pacquiao's actions reflect some Filipino's values and culture? Sound off in the comment section below!
