Pacquiao bats for creation
of nat’l boxing commission

MANILA - Boxing icon Rep. Emmanuel Pacquiao (Lone District, Sarangani) is proposing the creation of a Philippine Boxing Commission to provide and implement all necessary welfare incentives and benefits for professional boxers.

Pacquiao, author of House Bill 6409, said the agency’s main objective is to focus on professional boxing and steer the skills and talents of young and promising boxers towards its proper direction.

"Our country has produced world-class boxing legends like the great Gabriel 'Flash' Elorde, and recently the likes of Nonito Donaire Jr., Donnie Nietes, Brian Viloria and the Velasco (Roel and Mansueto) brothers," Pacquiao said.
