ALABEL, Sarangani (November 29, 2013) – Following the overwhelming victory of boxing star and Rep. Manny Pacquiao over American boxer Brandon Rios in Macau on November 24, the provincial government commended him for bringing “pride and honor” to his province and country.
The commendation came in time with the opening of Sarangani’s 11th Munato Festival Thursday (November 28) where Pacquiao is serving his second-term.
The commendation, thru Sangguniang Panlalawigan Resolution No. 2013-8-087, states that Pacquiao has “proved he is still a boxing figure in the world, registering a unanimous decision victory” in Sunday’s fight claiming the WBO International Welterweight belt.
The fight was a total domination of the congressman where he showed enormous hand speed and landed blistering combinations against Rios.
Indeed, it said that Pacquiao’s feat is “a testament of what Filipinos are capable of attaining and regaining as they put their heart and soul into their goals.”
With the recent strong earthquake in the Visayas and typhoon Yolanda, Pacquiao has declared that his victory is a “symbol of the people’s comeback from disasters and tragedies.” (Beverly C. Paoyon/SARANGANI INFORMATION OFFICE)
