Senator Pacquiao's Sponsorship Speech on PSR No. 606

THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. GOOD AFTERNOON, FELLOW SENATORS AND FELLOW FILIPINOS.

MY HEART BEATS WITH EXCITEMENT EVERYTIME A FILIPINO ATHLETE RAISES OUR FLAG IN THE GLOBAL ARENA. DOUBLE THAT EXCITEMENT IF IT IS ABOUT A FILIPINO BOXER.

WE CELEBRATE THE RECENT VICTORY OF JERWIN ANCAJAS WHO WON THE INTERNATIONAL BOXING FEDERATION JUNIOR BANTAMWEIGHT CROWN VIA 10TH ROUND TECHNICAL KNOCKOUT AGAINST ISRAEL GONZALES OF MEXICO ON FEBRUARY 4, 2018 AT THE AMERICAN BANK CENTER, CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS, USA.

WITH THIS, I FILED A RESOLUTION COMMENDING AND CONGRATULATING JERWIN ANCAJAS FOR WINNING THE INTERNATIONAL BOXING FEDERATION JUNIOR BANTAMWEIGHT TITLE.

ANCAJAS, A FELLOW MINDANAOAN, MADE THE 4TH SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE OF HIS TITLE. HE CAME OUT VICTORIOUS IN HIS LAST 16 FIGHTS, 15 OF WHICH ARE BY KNOCKOUT.

JERWIN ANCAJAS DESERVES TO BE COMMENDED FOR WINNING THE IBF JUNIOR BANTAMWEIGHT TITLE, BRINGING PRESTIGE TO OUR COUNTRY, AND BECOMING A CONSISTENT FILIPINO WORLD BOXING CHAMPION.

MAY HIS VICTORY INSPIRE BUDDING, HOME-GROWN ATHLETES TO EXCEL IN INTERNATIONAL SPORTING ARENAS. LET US CONTINUE TO GIVE OUR ALL-OUT SUPPORT TO OUR ATHLETES.

MARAMING SALAMAT PO.
