The Dec. 16 card dubbed as 'Handog sa Birthday ni Pacman' is organized by MP Promotions in partnership with RWS International.
Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao, who on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) shocked the boxing world by destroying the much bigger and highly popular Oscar de la Hoya at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, will celebrate his 30th birthday in his hometown in General Santos on Dec. 17 in what is expected to be a huge day-long celebration with personalities from the boxing community, politics, show business, the media and the ordinary folks expected to troop to the southern city of Mindanao. Philippine president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and staunch Pacquiao supporters Environment Secretary Lito Atienza and Deputy National Security Adviser Luis Singson will lead guests from the government. Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum, and trainer, Freddie Roach, are also expected to join the celebrations.
