Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao returned to the Philippines at dawn Friday following his ninth round knockout of World Boxing Council lightweight champion David Diaz in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Saturday.
In a press conference at the Terminal 2 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Pacquiao promised to donate P3 million in the ongoing relief work for the victims of typhoon Frank late last month in Luzon and the Visayas.
