Manny “Pacman” Paquiao, the new WBC Super Featherweight Champion arrived in his hometown Gen. Santos City today, March 26, 2008 on board a PAL airbus from Manila. He was met at the GenSan International Airport runway by his former political foes, GenSan City Mayor Jun Acharon and Congresswoman Darlene Antonino-Custodio of the 1st District of South Cotabato. They later joined him at the motorcade through the city’s major thoroughfares arranged by the local government.

As promised, here are some of the pictures I took of the arrival and the motorcade…
