Filipino boxing icon Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao returned to Manila Wednesday where he was given a hero’s welcome despite his defeat from American champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 2 bout in Las Vegas, Nevada. 
Pacquiao, who had a motorcade in metropolis after his arrival from the United States, also called on President Benigno S. Aquino III in Malacanang, the presidential palace.
The 36-year-old boxer, who is also a congressman of Sarangani province in southern Philippines, said his immediate plan is to take a rest and let his injured left shoulder, which had undergone a surgery, recuperate.
Pacquiao, wearing a black shoulder brace and arm sling, is facing class suits in the U.S. for allegedly hiding his shoulder injury prior to his fight. Enditem
