Team Pacquiao headed by PR man Winchell Campos today formally opened the MP Merchandise Store at the same complex where the famed Wildcard Gym is located on Vine Street in Hollywood.
The ?cutting of the ribbon? was supposed to happen at 12 noon but Pacquiao, the Congressman-elect from Saranggani, was held up by previous commitments so he was a bit late.
Pacquiao arrive in style a few moments later with his gorgeous wife Jinky in their slick Mercedez Benz. For a man of his present stature, he did not even have body guards. In fact, he did the driving himself.
Hundreds of Pacquiao fans filled up the very busy parking lot of the shopping complex prompting an LAPD Squad car to drive in and check out the scene. Finding nothing unusual, they simply drove away.
Father Marlon Beoff did the blessing ceremonies with the crowd gathered in the front of the store. Immediately after, Pacquiao cut the ceremonial ribbon and the store was officially opened.
Pacquiao stayed for about 45 minutes after the ceremonial ribbon cutting and posed for photograph and signed autographs. He also placed his signature on some of the merchandise for sale.
The store will offer for sale every available Pacquiao merchandise such as t-shirts, jackets, shoes, coffee mugs and photographs and limited edition original hand paintings.
Items for both men and women will be available for the public to purchase.
One unique aspect of the store is the fact that it will offer Pacfans and boxers as well the opportunity to have a replica of the original Pacquaio mouthguard custom made for them through our dental offices.
