The first and only eight-division world boxing champion and representative of the Lone District of Sarangani, Safe Steps Ambassador Manny Pacquiao IS STILL and WILL ALWAYS be the number ONE in the hearts of many even though he was defeated in Sunday's boxing match.
Spotted at the event were the Azkals for the Football for a Better Life program.
Pru Life UK is also affiliated with the Azkals team ,where they sponsor football clinics for aspiring little kids( Little Azkals ) so that we will develop football as a sport here in the Philippines.
Thanks to Pru Life UK's disaster and rehabilitation program, the Island of Bantayan witnessed for the first time the country’s boxing hero’s latest fight during a live public screening of the Fight of the Century on Santa Fe Bantayan Island, Northern Cebu.
They have been preparing this for almost a month and sending out hundreds of thousands GO MANNY headbands all over the Philippines and of course , I wore it the entire fight.
All municipalities of Bantayan Island come together for the first time to witness Pacman’s conquest over Mayweather live last Sunday, May 3.
The live screening on Bantayan drew nearly 8,000 locals.
Pru Life UK also brought live coverage of the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight in 10 communities in Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Batangas, Quezon, Albay, Aklan, and Northern Samar. In Bantayan Island, the match was aired in three municipalities of Santa Fe, Madridejos, and Bantayan.
The first-ever public screening in Bantayan Island was made possible by British life insurance company, Pru Life UK in support of every Filipino fighter from all walks of life. Continuing their commitment to restoring the community after typhoon Yolanda, they aim to inspire locals as they continue to fight to restore their livelihoods and communities.
Bantayan Island was one of the worst-hit islands in the country caused by the devastation of Super Typhoon Yolanda claiming the lives of more than 6,000 people.
After almost two years since the destruction, the island together with the affected provinces in the Central Visayas region is still recovering through the joint efforts of charitable organizations and Pru Life UK’s Prudence Foundation.
The Foundation has provided livelihood and rehabilitation to the people of Bantayan Island for the past year; aiding almost 90 per cent of the population with their substantial needs.
“We know how hard it was for the Bantayan people to get back on their feet when they have lost almost everything.” said Antonio deRosas, president and CEO of Pru Life UK.
“Pru Life UK and our charitable arm, Prudence Foundation, is committed to restoring the beauty of the island especially the locals who had to face tough battles in the past.
This is why we wanted to bring the much-anticipated fight to the people of Bantayan Island, We strongly believe that this will inspire them to fight against difficulties and succeed in making life better, just as much as they inspire us.”
