Business tycoon Manny V. Pangilinan pledges P1M to support the training of International Boxing Federation super flyweight champion Jerwin Ancajas according to ESPN 5 president Chot Reyes.
?When MVP (Manny V. Pangilinan) saw the Survival Camp of Jerwin in Cavite, his heart really wanted to reach out,? said Reyes, referring to the dilapidated training facility of Ancajas in Magallanes, Cavite. ?MVP is so impressed with Jerwin that?s why he pledged a million peso.?
Ancajas, 26, with several other boxers conduct their sparring in an improvised boxing ring.
According to Reyes, Pangilinan was inspired by the struggles of Ancajas (29-1-1 win-loss-draw record with 20 knockouts) that was featured in ESPN 5.
