Pacquiao apologizes for missing Palaro


PhilBoxing.com




World Boxing Organization welterweight titlist Manny Pacquiao cannot make it to today?s Palarong Pambansa opening rites.

Saying his newly-born son to be Christened ?Israel? is still in incubator, Pacquiao, in a text message to this writer, offered his sincerest apology to Palaro host, Laguna Gov. E.R. Ejercito, other guests, athletes, coaches and delegation officials for not making it to the colorful ceremony.

?Humuhingi ako ng paumanhin kay Gov. E.R., sa lahat ng opisyal ng Palaro, iba pang panauhin, lalong lalo na sa mga atleta na alam kong maghihintgay sa pagdating ko upang gampanan ang papel ng dapat kong gampanan sa Palaro,? Pacquiao?s text message said.

?Bagamat hindi ako makakarating ay sana?y umasa ang lahat ng kinauukulan na ang diwa ko ay kasama nila sa buong linggo ng Palaro, mula sa pagbubukas nito sa Lunes hanggang sa ang kahuli-hulihang event ay maganap,? the eight-division champ added.

?Panalangin ko po na sanay? mairaos ang Palaro ngx matiwasay at ligtas ang lahat, lalo-lalo na ang mga atleta, sa anumang di kanais-nais na maaring mangyri habang nagpapaligsahan an gating mga student athletes in the elementary at high school divisions,?

?Mag-ingat po sana kayong lahat sa inyong pakikipagtutunggali para sa karangalan, lalo pa?t ang mga event ay gaganapin sa kainitan ng init ng araw. May the best athletes win!? Pacquiao said.

?Wala din naman silang dapat ikabahala sa kalagayan ni Baby Israel. Dapat kasi siyang isalalim sa incubator para masigurong malusog siya at malakas ang naturalesa sa kanyang paglabas sa ospital,? Pacquiao assured.

?Wala rin pong dapat ikabahala ang lahat sa kalagayan ng Mommy ni Baby Israel na si Vice Gov. Jinkee. Nakalabas nap o siya sa ospital at kasalukuyang nagpapalakas,? he said. ?Ito nga po ang dahilan kung kaya kailang ako ang magbantay sa aming kapapanganak na supling.?

?I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those offered prayers para maging safe ang panganganak ni Jinkee,? he said.

Pacquiao, along with former President and now Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada, Gov. E.R.?s uncle, would have to lead a bevy of sports, entertainment and political personalities invited to grace today?s occasion.

The Filipino boxing icon would have also to anchor the torch relay and lit the Olympic urn during the opening ceremony.
