Yes, Sarangani Congressman Emmanuel "Manny-Pacman" Pacquiao cannot just hide from his Japanese fans once he arrives in Tokyo, Japan this Sunday, December 26. In fact, Dr. Patrick Itagaki would just love to meet his boxing idol despite his busy schedule next week as soon as he arrives in Japan from Los Angeles, California.
"Pacquiao has a lot of fans from our network of medical workers," states Dr. Itagaki who is visiting his parents in Los Angeles. "He is also big in Japan, not only in the Philippines, US and Mexico. We have a widescreen television in our gymnasium in Tokyo and we have watched his last three fights along with my countrymen."
"We are proud of him being an Asian hero and our Filipino employees are very, very proud of him, too. They regard him as their all-time hero ... almost their god," says the 62-year old cardiologist and business consultant who is running a worldwide medical network based in Japan.
Some 250,000 Filipinos are listed to be living within Japan's geographic confines, that excludes the unlisted and illegal ones, according to the Philippine Embassy.
Pacman and his wife, Jinkee, and their kids will have the first casual look and touch on their newly purchased European model 32-seater aircraft which was delivered on standby in Japan from Germany last week. The world reknown boxer has initially paid fifty percent of the total undisclosed price of the said aircraft.
The celebrated couple would be treating their kids to Disneyland and will be staying in Japan until December 30, the report says.
As of this writing, the Pacquiao family is staying for Christmas in Boracay.
