GenSan City, Sarangani ready for Pacquiao’s first Hero’s welcome as a Sarangan
Now that Michael Buffer, the barker during the Pacquiao-Hatton fight last weekend has already announced Manny Pacquiao’s new official hometown as Sarangani Province, perhaps owing to his plan to run for the lone Congressional seat of that province, then the “generals’ will be witnessing what could be the last “hero’s welcome” for him by the local government of GenSan when he comes home next week.
Ever since Manny Pacquiao began winning all those major boxing titles, it was the local government of GenSan City which has been rolling out the red carpet for him each time he comes home, affording him with a hero’s welcome complete with a victory party at the Family Country Hotel and Convention Center.
Bariles must have witnessed at least five of these homecomings and participated in all of the motorcades from the General Santos City International Airport up to the city oval plaza covered court.
Let him then take you back down memory lane by giving you the links here at Bariles Republic to GenSan City’s past hero’s welcomes for their favored son, Manny Pacquiao:
This time, Manny Pacquiao’s arrival which has been moved from its original May 11 (Monday) date to May 13 (Wednesday) tentatively due to the postponement of his Manila motorcade today (Friday) should be the most anticipated in GenSan City. That is, if we have to gauge it on the enthusiasm and record-breaking number of the “generals” who watched his fight against Ricky Hatton at the Gen. Santos City Gym last weekend.
For those wanting a good look at him and listen to his anecdotes about his most recent fight for the title World IBO Light Flyweight Champion before he moves on to Kiamba and begin his new life as a “Sarangan“, be sure to be there at the oval plaza covered court. That is where his motorcade will proceed to after he arrives at the airport via a Philippine Airlines morning flight.
