Manny Pacquiao arrives tonight to an adoring nation so overwhelmed by his conquest of Marco Antonio Barrera, whom he discarded last Sunday in convincing fashion that made the gifted Filipino pug the new toast of the boxing world.
Pacquiao and his entourage are scheduled to disembark from the Northwest Airlines flight from Los Angeles at 10:40 p.m. at the NAIA before an expected throng of well-wishers wanting to take a glimpse of the man who put the country on the world boxing stage with that spectacular 11th round TKO win over the Mexican legend.
In fact, First Gentleman Mike Arroyo and officials of the Philippine Sports Commission and Solar Sports Network have made arrangements with NAIA to give Pacquiao a hero?s welcome at the airport.
