Resolution for Donnie Nietes

Maayong hapon, Mr. President.

Good afternoon, fellow senators and fellow Filipinos.

Three weeks ago, we celebrated the victory of JERWIN ANCAJAS who won the International Boxing Federation Junior Bantamweight crown via 10th round technical knockout against Israel Gonzales of Mexico on February 4, 2018 in Texas, USA.

TODAY, WE HAVE ANOTHER REASON TO CELEBRATE. DONNIE "AHAS" NIETES knocked out his Argentinian challenger Juan Carlos Reveco and thus retaining the International Boxing Federation Super Flyweight title yesterday, February 25, 2017 in Los Angeles, California.

Nietes showed his dominance by dictating the tempo of the match by using his 1-2 combo. On the seventh round, Nietes gave succeeding body shots before ending the match with a solid left uppercut that brought Reveco to the canvas. This is the 41st win for Nietes with 23 knockouts.

WITH THIS, I FILED PS RESOLUTION NUMBER 657 "A RESOLUTION COMMENDING AND CONGRATULATING DONNIE NIETES FOR DEFENDING HIS INTERNATIONAL BOXING FEDERATION SUPER FLYWEIGHT TITLE AT THE SUPERFLY 2 EVENT IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA ON FEBRUARY 25, 2018."

With our all-out help and support, the time will come when we will celebrate more global victories from our excellent athletes. Aside from JERWIN ANCAJAS and DONNIE "AHAS" NIETES, there will be more world-class

Filipino boxers who will bring prestige and honor to our country.

Maraming salamat po.
