Pacquiao appeals for dialogues after deadly Sarangani blasts

GENERAL SANTOS CITY - Following Saturday night’s deadly twin blasts in Maasim town in Sarangani province, the country’s Ambassador for Peace and Understanding Manny Pacquiao is calling for dialogues to achieve peace and stop bombings and kidnappings especially in Mindanao.
Pacquiao rushed to a hospital where the injured blast victims were taken to give them comfort as well as assistance.
“Bilang ambassador for peace, nalulungkot ako sa nangyari at kaya ko sila dinalaw dito at kinamusta dahil nabigla ako sa balita,” Pacquiao told ABS-CBN News.
One person was killed while 32 were reported wounded after two grenades exploded at the town plaza and town hall in Maasim. The town was celebrating the Kestebeng Festival when the twin blasts took place.
“The People’s Champ” went to St. Elizabeth Hospital Saturday evening and gave an initial amount of P39,000 to social welfare officials for assistance to the injured victims of the blast.
Pacquiao watched over some victims and talked to them.

MANILA, Philippines—After disposing of the likes of Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton in the ring, Manny Pacquiao is now taking on a different foe: terrorist bombers.
Alarmed by last weekend’s twin grenade attacks in Sarangani province that killed one person and wounded 32, the Filipino boxing king on Monday called on the attackers to sit down with him for talks on restoring peace in the area.
Not a surprising move from a man President Macapagal-Arroyo recently named as ambassador for peace. Pacquiao has also declared his intention to run in 2010 for the lone congressional seat of Sarangani.
