MANILA, Philippines – It was a homecoming fit for the People’s Champ as GMA Network joined the nation in welcoming its Kapuso Manny Pacquiao upon his arrival in the Philippines last April 14.

Fresh from his momentous victory in the boxing ring against Timothy “Desert Storm” Bradley in the US last April 9 (April 10 in Manila), the boxing legend was congratulated by GMA Network chairman and CEO Felipe Gozon (leftmost), president and COO Gilberto Duavit Jr. (second from right) and EVP and CFO Felipe Yalong (rightmost), along with other network officers and distinguished guests.

The Pambansang Kamao arrived to enthusiastic applause from his countrymen as he sat down to a breakfast of champions, followed by a welcome parade that took him from Makati to Quezon City to see his supporters.
