CNO/ CNDF Statement on the CNA-ZRA Conflict
CNO/ CNDF leaders stated that since the battlefield is primarily in Zomi-inhabited areas, it is evident that CNA is the aggressor in this conflict. They also pointed out that CNA has caused disturbances in Mara areas and Matupi, further escalating tensions.
They emphasized that local governance should be respected—people from Tedim should control Tedim Township, people from Falam should control Falam Township, and Hakha-based forces (CNA) should focus on Hakha Township rather than trying to exert control over other regions.
CNO/ CNDF urges restraint and respect for territorial boundaries to prevent further bloodshed and ensure stability in Chin State.

From Scraps to 8 World Titles: Manny Pacquiao’s Rise
This is Manny Pacquiao.
Born in Kibawe, Philippines. One of 6 kids. Father abandoned the family. They ate whatever they could find.
At 14 he ran away to Manila.
No money. No connections. No plan.
He lied about his age to get his first professional fight.
Weighed 98 pounds.
Won anyway.
Here's what Manny figured out that 99% of fighters never understand:
→ Speed beats power when the heart is bigger than both
→ Hunger isn't just metaphor — it's a fighting style
→ The man with the least to lose fights the hardest
He fought 12 times in his first 2 years.
Got paid almost nothing.
Sent every peso home to his mother.
Most fighters from poverty fight to escape it.
Manny fought to carry everyone with him.
He did the opposite of every champion before him:
→ 8 world titles across 8 different weight classes
→ First boxer in history to achieve it
→ Defeated Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton, Shane Mosley
→ Became a Senator. Then a Presidential candidate.
→ Built schools, houses and hospitals in the Philippines
The pattern nobody talks about?
He never fought for himself.
Every punch was for someone else.
His mother. His country. His people.
The fighters who fight for something bigger than themselves always find another gear nobody knew they had.
Today he's worth $220 million.
Not from luck. Not from talent alone.
From turning every reason to quit into a reason to swing harder.
The takeaway?
When you fight for more than yourself, you become more than yourself.
Follow me for more breakdowns on how legends are really built.
