Congressman
and boxing icon Manny Pacquiao disappointed fans who had been waiting for him
to grace the opening of the Palarong Bicol 2014 in Catanduanes this morning.
Allegedly,
Pacquiao had been invited by Catanduanes Rep. Cesar Sarmiento, who is said to
be a good friend of the boxing champion.
Pacquiao,
however, supposedly could not make it to the said opening event because of an
urgent meeting in the United States regarding his upcoming fight with Timothy
Bradley.
It was
reported that there was a long line of spectators at the opening program’s venue.
Said fans were
dismayed, however, when an announcement that Pacquiao would not be
attending the rites was made.
