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

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!
