Filipino ring idol Manny Pacquiao leaves for the US tomorrow aboard a Northwest Airlines flight after rushing the final scenes of his movie which is being shot in Nueva Ecija.
Close friend and confidant Rex "Wakee" Salud said the shooting of the film had been delayed a little and he is scheduled to finish by around 2:00 p.m. before boarding the flight to the US.
Salud revealed that Pacquiao?s wife Jinkee will not be traveling with him as previously announced. Pacquiao will be accompanied by lawyer Franklin ?Jeng? Gacal and business manager Eric Pineda and his wife Macy. It was Pineda who reportedly worked out the lucrative Nike deal which would have Pacquiao training in a commercial that will also include Los Angeles Lakers NBA superstar Kobe Bryant and golfing great Tiger Woods.
The Pacquiao episode will be shot at the Wild Card Gym of celebrated trainer Freddie Roach. Pacquiao and his party will check in at Cesar?s Palace in Las Vegas where he is scheduled to have a thanksgiving dinner with promoter Bob Arum at which they will decide on who Pacquiao's March 15 opponent will be.
