Posted in local, news by admin on May 6th, 2009
After Pacman destroyed Hatton in just two rounds last May 2, 2009, the Philippines became more ecstatic when they found out last May 5 that:
Pacquiao said he got a call from President Arroyo after the fight, and was told that Friday, the day he arrives in Manila, has been declared a non-working holiday. philstar.com
A few hours after, the entire nation (the working populace in general) was disappointed to learn from a breaking news that Friday, May 8, 2009 was declared as a working holiday:
Oh well… so much for having another three-day weekend…

Well he does have a massive motorcade already waiting for him. I suppose giving an entire nation a long weekend to celebrate would be a little much. But the man is a LIVING LEGEND! PGMA, you can go Pacquiao’rself
