On the eve of his flight to the United States to continue preparing for his next bout, boxing icon and Sarangani Rep. Emmanuel “Manny" Pacquiao paid a courtesy call on President Benigno Aquino III. Philippine Daily Inquirer quoted lawyer Franklin Gacal as saying Pacquiao met with Aquino at 2 p.m. Friday. It quoted Gacal as saying that when Mr. Aquino walked into the room, he told Pacquiao he had only 10 minutes, but ended up chatting with Pacquiao for around 40 minutes. The Inquirer article also quoted Gacal as saying Pacquiao invited Aquino to watch his fight at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium but Aquino politely declined. — LBG, GMANews.TV, http://ph.news.yahoo.com
