Congressman Pacquiao takes oath
Congressman Manny Pacquiao finally took his oath as the new representative of the province of Sarangani in simple rites this morning at the Sarangani Capitol Park.
Pacquiao was accompanied by his wife Jinkee, his children and his siblings. His father was also there although there was no sign of his mother Dionisia.
Thirty one year old Congressman Pacquiao in his speech said he will concentrate on improving infrastructure, medical services and peace in order for the next three years. Although he said that he will continue boxing, he promised to be more effective as a legislator and representative of the country’s 14th most impoverished province.

From us here at GENSAN NEWS ONLINE MAG, congratulations Congressman Manny Pacquiao! Here’s hoping you fulfill your promise and work together with Governor Dominguez to achieve both your goals to help Sarangani.

I do believe na magiging magaling na representative si Manny ng Sarangani… Hindi siguro sa larangan ng pakikipag – debate sa House pero sa larangan ng paglalaan nya ng pondo para sa mga proyekto niya sa SARANGANI…. Alam natin na gusto talagang tulungan ni MANNY ang mga SARANGAN…at siguradong maaasahan natin siya dito…
GOD BLESS YOU MANNY AND GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE OF SARANGANI…
