Lagawe, Ifugao (17 November) — Only one incident was reported in the province Sunday as the province joined the nation watched Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao take on and later defeat Mexican-American Antonio Margarito in Arlington, Texas.
“As expected based on our experience in similar situations when Manny Pacquiao fought abroad, again we experienced another phenomenal minimal crime rate province wide where only one crime incident was reported during the day,” said Police Provincial Director P/SSupt. Laurence Mombael.
Mombael said only a motor accident in Alfonso Lita town was reported from Sunday morning until late afternoon.
“PNP Ifugao joins the Filipino nation in triumphant jubilation over the victorious WBC Super Welterweight title defense of people’s champion Manny Pacquiao. Pacman is really different from the rest of the boxers,” Mombael said.
By claiming invincibility as the reigning world champion in eight boxing divisions, Pacquiao showed magnanimous humility even in this most impressive world sports record of all time,” he said.
“He shall continue to serve as a role model for his great and commendable dedication, discipline, and hard work in the field of sports,” Mombael added. (PIA-Ifugao)
