Pacquiao named ‘tourism ambassador of Sarangani’


Call him Mr Ambassador for tourism of Sarangani. That will be another feather on Manny Pacquiao’s cap after President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on Thursday named the People’s Champ to such post. Arroyo made the announcement when she introduced Pacquiao as the “tourism ambassador of Sarangani" at the 7th Regional Cooperative Summit for Region 12 or Soccsksargen (South Cotabato, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani and General Santos City). Pacquiao, who had a private meeting with the President before the event, thanked Mrs Arroyo for his new assignment. He said that despite his new designation, he would continue with his studies at the Ateneo De Manila University and his preparations for future fights. On October 7, Pacquiao won against Mexican boxer Marco Antonio Barrera in Las Vegas, retaining his title as WBC International Super Featherweight belt. Malacañang, last year, conferred the Order of Lakandula-Champion for Life award to Pacquiao for his various victories in boxing. - GMANews.TV
