LEGARDA CALLS FOR 'HERO'S WELCOME' FOR PACMAN

Sending her congratulatory message to Manny Pacquiao, NP-NPC-LDP vice presidential bet Loren Legarda called on Filipinos to give the world boxing champ another hero's welcome for his recent victory against Ghana's Joshua Clottey.

"Let's receive him with a grand welcome. He's an inspiration to Filipinos at a time when our country is barraged with negative publicity. And just when all we hear about the Philippines in the international media is news of corruption and politicking, Manny Paquiao puts the country back on the map. That is very admirable," she said.

Pacquiao is set to return to Manila on March 22.
