Champion boxer and Senator-elect Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao will be the guest of honor for the inauguration rites of Mayor-elect Evelio ‘Bing’ Leonardia and Vice Mayor-elect El Cid Familiaran. Pacquiao, an adopted son of Bacolod City, confirmed he will be attending the inaugural rites scheduled for 5:00 p.m. on July 6 at the People’s House. Besides Leonardia and Familiaran, Congressman-elect Greg Gasataya will also take his oath of office on the same stage. Incoming councilors Ricardo Tan, Caesar Distrito, Cindy Rojas, Renecito Novero, Em Ang, Elmer Sy, Ann Palermo, Wilson Gamboa, Jr., Dindo Ramos, Bart Orola, Claudio Puentevella, and Sonya Verdeflor are also expected to attend the event. Leonardia was the first public official to take his oath before Pacquiao in 2010, when the boxing phenomenon was first elected congressman. He is, again, expected to be the first one the boxing icon will swear in as senator. Also confirmed to attend the inaugural ceremony is former Ilocos Sur Governor Chavit Singson, who is a close friend of Pacquiao. Leonardia, who has carried the Champion’s belt and the Philippine flag in most of Pacquiao’s fights, is also the godfather of Queenie and Israel, two of the boxing champ’s kids./WDJ Watchmen Daily Journal By Dominique Gabriel G.
