NAIA readies red carpet for Pacman

MANILA, Philippines - A hero’s welcome once again awaits world pound-for-pound boxing champion Manny Pacquiao upon his return in the country tomorrow.

Pacquiao, who successfully defended his WBO welterweight boxing title versus Ghanaian challenger Joshua Clottey in Arlington, Texas Sunday, will arrive on board Philippine Airlines flight PR 103 from Los Angeles, California.

Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) general manager Melvin Matibag has instructed all terminal managers and airport police officers to prepare a warm welcome for the Filipino boxing idol.

Matibag said uniformed policemen would escort Pacquiao from the plane to his waiting car.

Matibag also said they would issue passes to friends and officials who are going to welcome Pacquiao, but there would be limitations or restrictions inside the airport.
