Filipino boxing idol Manny Pacquiao will defy the recommendations by the Department of Health (DOH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to postpone his trip back to the country on Friday due to fears of the possible spread of the influenza A(H1N1) virus.
“I don't see any reason to postpone our trip back home,†Pacquiao told ABS-CBN’s “Umagang Kay Ganda†in a phone interview.
“If we have cold maybe we will not go home, but so far none of us has cold. We're all feeling well,†the new IBO/The Ring Magazine junior welterweight champion insisted.
He added that he and his team had been taking precautionary measures to prevent being infected by the deadly influenza virus, including regular use of hand sanitizer.
DOH Secretary Francisco Duque III said he will not prevent Pacquiao from returning home. He clarified that the health department and the WHO would still advise Pacquiao and his team to impose self-quarantine. - ABS-CBN
