The business is over

Pacquiao won a narrow split decision to claim Marquez's WBC 130-pound title Saturday night (Sunday morning in Manila) in a sensational fight that left two of the world's best boxers bloody and triumphant.

Malacañang and the Manila City government are now preparing a hero's welcome for new World Boxing Council super featherweight champion Emmanuel "Manny" Pacquiao.

Executive Sec. Eduardo Ermita said that President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and her husband who are presently in Baguio City have scheduled their return to Manila after the Holy Week, in time for Pacquiao's return from the United States.
