Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao
THE city has plans of inviting Manny “The Pacman” Pacquiao to grace the Dia de Zamboanga celebration this coming February 26, 2006.
This was disclosed by Mayor Celso L. Lobregat who said “we can try inviting Pacquiao if he’s not busy.”
The idea of inviting the Pacman was broached by the media people who said that for a change, it would be best that Pacquiao be invited for the Dia de Zamboanga.
It was also gathered that Pacquiao would be in Zamboanga City for the big-time cockfight derby that would coincide with the Dia de Zamboanga celebration.
The Mayor earlier has expressed his elation over the victory of Pacquiao against Erik “El Terrible” Morales.
Pacquiao knocked out Morales in the 10th round.
“With the many problems that the country is facing, Manny’s victory reassures us that Filipinos can be competitive and is world class,” the Mayor said.
Throwing punches at every angle, Pacquiao avenged his defeat 10 months ago and handed Morales the worst beating of his career.
It was the first time Morales had ever been stopped in what had been a spectacular career, and it came with a spectacular performance by a Filipino who never stopped punching.
The end came at 2:33 of the 10th round. (Press Release)
