Villar files resolution honoring Pacquiao

Sen. Manny Villar today filed a resolution commending Manny Pacquiao for winning over Puerto Rican boxer Miguel Cotto during the "Firepower" boxing match held in Las Vegas last Sunday.

"Pacquiao brings great pride and inspires all Filipinos to excel in their undertakings to achieve success and world recognition even during challenging times," Villar said.

Proposed Senate Resolution No. 1466 said Pacquiao's technical knockout triumph over Cotto made him not only the world's best pound-for-pound fighter today but also the first fighter to win world titles in seven divisions.
