Hello, I'm Zidane M. Pasaje, and I have a appreciation for the rich and diverse pop culture of the Philippines. My interests in Philippine pop culture encompass a variety of aspects, including Filipino street food, traditional clothing like the barong and terno, and the cultural impact of Filipino celebrities in the digital age.

For this Padlet, I'd like to showcase about Boxing. Boxing has a long and storied history in the Philippines and continues to be a significant part of the country's culture. This shows the influence of legendary Filipino boxers like Manny Pacquiao, the impact of boxing on Filipino sports culture, and how it brings people together in support of their champions.

The chosen theory to frame the discussion is "Uses and Gratifications Theory". Boxing, as a pop culture phenomenon in the Philippines, fulfills several needs of its audience. It offers a sense of national pride and unity, as Filipinos come together to support their boxing heroes. Boxing provides emotional gratification through the excitement and drama of matches. Fans actively engage with the sport, participate in discussions, and share their passion for boxing on social media and within their communities. The theory helps us understand how individuals actively seek out and use boxing as a form of entertainment, emotional connection, and a source of pride in their national identity.
