LOS ANGELES ? Manny Pacquiao?s younger brother Ruel has blasted the political enemies of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo saying only Manny?s victory can stop the ongoing political crisis in the Philippines whipped up by the controversial ZTE-NBN scandal.
?The political enemies of the President are always fault finders. I believe she is not really a bad person,? said Ruel, a barangay chief and head of the MP Promotions. ?Manny?s victory will surely unite the Filipinos once again.?
Ruel, promoter Rex ?Wakee? Salud, and boxing manager Jay San Pedro arrived together here last March 9. They will join the convoy of Manny Pacquiao to Las Vegas at around 3 pm March 10.
Arrival ceremonies will be held at the main hotel entrance to Mandalay Bay at 11 a.m. on March 11 for Pacquiao and 11:30 a.m. for Marquez in the same place.
