The champion is back in town, and meeting with the president was on his to-do list
MANILA, Philippines – The champion is back in town.

A week removed from a dominant victory over Timothy Bradley to regain the WBO welterweight title, Filipino boxing pride Manny Pacquiao comes home, showered with the customary reception that usually follows his boxing triumphs.

After a short visit to his hometown of General Santos City, the 35-year-old Sarangani congressman Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 knockouts) paid a visit to Malacanang Palace, where he met with Philippine President Benigno ‘Noynoy’ Aquino III for a courtesy call.
