Pacquiao back at the gym after ‘Ondoy’ aid efforts

Manny Pacquiao immediately went back to his training camp in Baguio City after spending his Sunday rest helping families badly affected by tropical storm “Ondoy" in Manila. Pacquiao donated a check of P1 million to the GMA Kapuso Foundation and distributed relief goods in Angono, Rizal as part of his contribution to aid efforts for victims of the deadly storm that ravaged Metro Manila and nearby provinces and left thousands homeless. “Bahagi po ito ng pag-tulong natin sa ating mga kababayan na nasalanta ng bagyo," said Pacquiao, who went against the advice of trainer Freddie Roach and traveled to Manila Saturday at the height of super-typhoon “Pepeng" in Baguio in order to personally help distribute relief goods to all calamity victims. “Nandito ako bilang morale support ko para sa kanila," he added.
While training in Baguio, Pacquiao said he prayed hard that Metro Manila and other nearby provinces be spared from super-typhoon “Pepeng" over the weekend. His prayers were heard as the typhoon skirted the capital and instead hit Northern Luzon. “Walang imposible basta manalig ka sa Kanya," said the Pacman. Pacquiao arrived in Baguio late Sunday and he hit the gym on Monday, spending 15 draining rounds of sparring at the mitts with Roach and at least half an hour of isometrics with conditioning coach Alex Ariza. - GMANews.TV
