After the long and grueling training for his fight against Oscar de la Hoya, People?s Champ Manny Pacquiao took a well-deserved rest away from boxing in his native General Santos City.
ABS-CBN News SOKSARGEN correspondent Anne Santos reported that Pacquiao took his sweet time bonding with his friends and relatives in his hometown.
The boxer also participated in organizing events such as holding his own sporting competitions.
Among the sports tournaments he was organizing in the city are golf, shooting, boxing and darts competition.
“Ibang sports muna, dart at saka marami tayong sinusuportahan, golf, boxing, mayroon rin shootfest,” said Pacquiao.
His darts competition is nothing to sneeze at. The Manny Pacquiao P2 Million International Darts Classic is dubbed as the richest dart tournament in the history of Philippines.
At night, he goes around to greet his Gensan fans while dabbling in a hobby he loves the most: singing.
During his victory party Friday night, Pacquiao sang his song ?Para sa ?Yo ang Laban na ?to? to the delight of his fans.
This coming Wednesday the boxer against will hold another party to celebrate his 30th birthday.
Days after that, he will return to the US to spend his Christmas with wife Jinkee who is due to give birth to their fourth baby.
