The idea of a fighter advocating healthcare is ironic. Is it not a boxer?s job to sedate (and/or hospitalize) his opponent with his fists? All levity aside, I share this heartwarming message from Emmanuel ?Manny? Pacquiao before he ends Juan Manuel Marquez? aspirations. Fight night is this Saturday, December 8th, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada?..


I would like to thank all the Filipino-Americans, respiratory therapists, nurses, doctors and healthcare workers of Washington Hospital. I look forward to your volunteerism, and join me in our mission of healthcare. I invite you to visit Sarangani Province, Philippines soon.

Thank you and God Bless.
Emmanuel ?Manny? Pacquiao District of Sarangani Province
Republic of the Philippines

Author?s notes:
My heartfelt thanks to our friends, family and the Cesano family for the love, friendship and moral support as we celebrate my late sister Christine Rivera-Cesano, her wonderful life and legacy. To Billy Cesano, you mean the world to ?Xtine and our family.

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
