ARUM SAYS INITIAL REPORTS INDICATE MANNY IS LIKELY TO WIN BIG
By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Mon, 10 May 2010
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum says based on reports received so far, Manny Pacquiao is likely to win big in his bid for a congressional seat in Sarangani province.
Arum described the elections as "fascinatning" and said that respected journalists Nancy Day of AOL Fanhouse and Bill Dwyre, columnist of the Los Angeles Times, went out to a polling place in an area which Pacquiao was expected to carry and reported that ?everybody was for Manny and that in most areas he was sweeping big.?
However, Arum said that in a polling place located where candidate Roy Chiongbian has a plantation, the voters were all for Chiongbian as expected since they worked for the Chiongbian family.
They also noted that the police and military have come out to make sure that the people are able to vote without any interference and in an orderly manner.
Pacquiao?s adviser Michael Koncz said they expect to get results of the polls by around 7:00 p.m. and that he was ?optimistic? that Pacquiao would win.
