Typhoon Hagupit forces Pacquiao to miss last KIA game
Pacquiao was supposed to fly in from his hometown of General Santos City

MANILA, Philippines — KIA Sorento playing coach Manny Pacquiao was unable to make it to his team’s final elimination game Sunday, December 7 in the 2015 Philippine Cup as his flight was cancelled due to Typhoon Ruby (international name: Hagupit), according to PBA Media Bureau Chief Willie Marcial.

Pacquiao was supposed to fly in from his hometown of General Santos City early on Sunday but the typhoon, which is currently battering Visayas and is expected to be felt in Metro Manila by Monday, December 8, caused more than a hundred flights to be cancelled Sunday.

The Congressman of Sarangani intended to be present for the rest of his team’s games after his successful title defense against Chris Algieri last November 23.

KIA was left in the hands of assistant coach Glenn Capacio. The Sorento attempted to halt its 9-game losing skid but fell short versus the playoff-bound NLEX Road Warriors, 88-80, to end the opening conference with a 1-10 record. — Rappler.com
