CONGRATULATORY STATEMENTS OF SEN. JUAN MIGUEL F. ZUBIRI

The fighter of the century. Collecting belts and leaping across weight divisions, Pacman is in a class up there with the greatest of boxers.

He punches hard. He plays fair. Bold Filipino blood runs in his veins. We are all proud of him.

He fights in another arena, the Philippine Senate to where 16,050,546 Filipinos raised his hands in victory in the 7th rank.

It wasn't always easy, but, in all his struggles Manny emerged the winner. Life dealt him hard knocks but he always came back.

Again, our deep admiration to our Pambansang Kamao. Congratulations!!!
