Update: Tidbits from the network of Congressman Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao

SCOOP REPORT from General Santos City, Philippines, December 17, 2010 – Emmanuel “Pacman-Manny” Dapidran Pacquiao the boxer would not celebrate his 32nd birth anniversary without something to highlight. In fact, Emmanuel “Pacman-Manny” Dapidran Pacquiao the politician has stepped up far more in a grand scale making his birthday the heart of news both in the boxing circle and in the archipelago of over 7,100 islands of the Philippines. While he is attending his concelebrated mass at this time, 5:00 p.m. Philippine time, at the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Parish, inside reports keep newsmen at the beat: Pacquiao has just purchased a 32-seater private class aircraft from Germany.

The said plane will have to be seen by Pacquiao in time when he will have his vacation along with his wife and kids in Japan between December 27 through 30 unless otherwise rescheduled much earlier. No exact amount of the plane is yet disclosed. Chavit Singson, his formidable political adviser and personal confidant, is said to have brokered the deal.

As to the Pacquiao’s possible next opponent, Sugar Shane Mosley may have the lucky Reyes gloves for the purported May 7 boxing match at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. No formal announcement is made as of this writing.

Pacquiao will host a big birthday bash tonight (Philippine time) at the KCC Mall in General Santos. And big raffle draws and other surprises will follow.

Stay tuned.
