IBF and IBO flyweight king Nonito Donaire is scheduled to hold his training at the ALA Gym in Cebu starting in the last week of October.
Donaire is set to defend his titles in December, and is now holding preliminary training in California.
Team Donaire is scheduled to arrive in the Philippines on October 24, just days after Glenn Donaire shall have seen action in Reno, Nevada.
ALA Gym owner Antonio L. Aldeguer has already given his go-signal for the world champion to use his world-class facilities for his training.
"With open heart, we will welcome them here in our gym. We will roll out the red carpet, and give him the kind of treatment worthy of a world champion," said Aldeguer.
Cebu has been getting a lot of media attention lately, with the Rex 'Wakee' Salud gym being the venue of superstar Manny Pacquiao's training.
Four of the five boxers who also won for the Philippines the World Cup over Mexico all hail from Cebu, the country's boxing capital.
