Pacquiao to reconcile with foes

- Rose Tamayo-Tesoro -

ALABEL, Sarangani , Philippines  – As the new congressman of this province, boxing champ Manny Pacquiao vowed yesterday to reconcile with his political foes.

Pacquiao said everyone is welcome to help bring about the economic and social development of the Sarangans.

Pacquiao told The STAR that two of his priorities in his first 100 days in Congress are the revival of Republic Act 5757 authored by former congressman James Chiongbian establishing a school of fisheries in Glan town and the setting up of a provincial hospital in Alabel town.

Last Wednesday, Pacquiao’s political opponent, Roy Chiongbian, formally conceded and congratulated Pacquiao in an interview with a General Santos City radio station.

Pacquiao said he admired Chiongbian’s gesture to admit defeat.

Pacquiao is planning to host victory parties in each of the seven towns of Sarangani to thank his supporters.
