MANILA, Philippines – Manny Pacquiao returned home a champion once again at 4:18 am on Tuesday, November 8.
The 37-year-old Filipino boxing icon, also a senator, is fresh off his triumph against Jessie Vargas in Las Vegas on Saturday, November 5 (Sunday in Manila), where he reclaimed the WBO welterweight title and proved he still has more left in the tank despite his years.
Pacquiao, who dropped Vargas once and won by unanimous decision in his comeback fight from a brief retirement, arrived in Manila alongside PNP chief Bato Dela Rosa. (RELATED: Pacquiao has unfinished business against Mayweather)
The boxer’s celebration is brief as Pacquiao is expected to immediately get back to work as a legislator, having already missed a Senate session because of the boubout.
Pacquiao scheduled his fight during the Senate recess but session resumed on Monday, November 7. This schedule reportedly prevented other senators from watching Pacquiao’s fight live in Las Vegas, as they did not want to miss a session.
