My new column for Yahoo’s Ringside with Manny Pacquiao is about thinking happy thoughts, especially in light of everything that’s happened over the past couple of weeks. We’ve been particularly busy at it at my day job, and let me just say that putting together something like this isn’t a pleasant experience.

Anyway, happy thoughts.

While we’re on that note, I would just like to make a slight correction to a previous column, in which I described a Joey de Leon movie with a prison tattoo gag. Several readers chimed in to point out that it was Val Sotto, and not Jimmy Santos, who played the intimidating inmate in the scene.

I found the clip I was describing (forward to around 3:22 of the video), where Joey de Leon has to spend the night in Jimmy Santos’ jail cell:



The clip above was from “She-Man: Mistress of the Universe” from 1988, and does not contain the gag where the tattoo of the eagle turns into an egg. That gag was used in another Joey de Leon movie, which I’ve narrowed down to either “Ang tipo kong lalake (Maginoo pero medyo…)” or “Takot ako sa darling ko,” and it was indeed Val Sotto who played the tattooed inmate. If any readers out there would have further information on the matter, kindly leave a note on this blog.

Furthermore, I would like to apologize to Mr. Santos and Mr. Sotto, as well as their respective families and moustaches, for any confusion my column could have caused. My deepest regrets.
