PACQUIAO RE-ASSURES HIS SUPPORT TO BKF PhilBoxing.com Wed, 23 Jan 2013  MANILA ? Congressman and 8th time world division boxing champion Emmanuel "Pacman" Pacquiao has re-assured his support to the Buhay Kamao Foundation, a non-profit organization aimed to help discover and develop world-class Filipino professional boxers and raise the quality of their lives during and after their respective careers. Pacquiao, who is the foundation's honorary chairman, said this to BKF president Yolanda Alfante during their meeting Monday at his office in the Congress. He again gave the assurance when Alfante watched the congressman from Sarangani Province in his first taping of his new TV show entitled "Para Sa Yo ang Laban na Ito" (This fight is for You) at GMA Stadio last Tuesday. Alfante said that Pacquiao will also help in getting donations and sponsors for the BKF's various programs that includes a sustainable boxing program for the development of the young and promising boxers in the country and make them world champions. The BFK is now constructing a descent boxing gym and facility in La Union that will help and support all professional boxers achieved their goals and victories in the sport. BKF also plans to have an office at the second floor of the Makati Square, which also holds a monthly boxing card. "We will also promote a boxing card at the Makati Square soon," said Alfante, who will be co-promoting in coordination with Basher 'Bong' Alonto, Joel 'Joe Boss' Ostria and Art Monis of the Boxing @ D' Square. Former US Olympic boxing trainer Terry "Bubba" Stott, who has already produced many world champions, is already training the boxers at the Makati Square upon the invitation of American lawyer Sydney Hall, who has in the past brought many Filipino boxers to the US including Pacquiao.
