PACQUIAO IN CEBU TODAY FOR CHARTER DAY RITES By Salven L. Lagumbay PhilBoxing.com Wed, 22 Feb 2006 CEBU CITY--Pound-for-pound superstar Manny Pacquiao will take centerstage in today's celebration of the founding anniversary of Cebu City as he guests the Charter Day rites with President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Cebu Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal and former Chief Justice Hilario Davide. Pacquiao will arrive this afternoon from his trip in the United States to annotate the Brian Viloria-Jose Antonio Aguirre showdown. The boxing hero will be accompanied by his close friend Rex "Wakee" Salud, who was also in Las Vegas to see Viloria defend his WBC crown. Pacquiao and Salud will head straight to the Cebu City Sports Center for today's event set to start at 5PM and will reportedly cost the city some P3 Million. Pacquiao will be honoring an invitation by Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmena, who requested him to sing "Para Sa Yo Ang Laban Na Ito" during the affair. Today's Charter Day rites, according to Osme?a, will serve as a "dress rehearsal" for the city's hosting of the 12th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit set in December. Pacquiao is set to see action next when he takes on ex-WBC superbantam king Oscar "Chololo" Larios on May 20 in Manila prior to his rubbermatch with Erik "El Terrible" Morales on September 16 in Las Vegas.
