Hero’s welcome
awaits Pacquiao

GENERAL SANTOS CITY - Despite taking a devastating loss in his fight last Sunday, a hero’s welcome still awaits boxing sensation and Sarangani Rep. Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao when he returns home today to this city and nearby Sarangani province.

Michael Bren Evangelio, chief of staff of the Sarangani congressional district office, said the local governments of Sarangani and General Santos will give the eight-division boxing champion a grand homecoming celebration.

“We’re now preparing for this (hero’s welcome) in coordination with the General Santos City government and the provincial government of Sarangani,” he said.

SUZUKI CUP 2ND LEG
Azkals battles Lions
tonight in Singapore

With the away points more valuable in the tournament, the Philippine Azkals aspire to beat the Singapore Lions tonight in the second leg of the semifinal in the AFF Suzuki Cup at the Jalan Besar Stadium, Singapore.

Both teams are anticipating another physical game, after the goalless draw in the first leg, Saturday, at the Rizal Stadium in Manila.

Earlier, Azkals coach Michael Weiss had said he hopes the team will play better in the second leg, and they are familiar with the pressure of playing with their backs against the wall.
