Rousing welcome for Pacquiao

Mayor Lito Atienza of Manila will lead Manilans in hosting a fitting tribute for homebound Filipino boxing icon, Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao, Thursday after a convincing victory over the Mexican fighter, Erik “El Terrible” Morales, in Las Vegas last weekend.

The tribute, organized by Manila Sports Council Chairman Ali Atienza will begin with a Thanksgiving Mass at 8 a.m. to be held at the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo Church.
