“Malacanang vows to help International Boxing Federation (IBF) super flyweight champion Z “The Dream” Gorres,” Press Secretary Cerge Remonde.
Remonde added that like pound-for-pound boxing icon Manny Pacquiao, Gorres was also one of the pride of the country.
Gorres, who hails from Dumaguete City, is now in stable condition after undergoing a brain surgery due to internal hemorrhage when he received a lucky punch from his opponent in the 10th and final round of their matchg last Saturday. He was immediately rushed to University Medical Center in Las Vegas after their fight wherein he won against Melendez.
Meanwhile, Remonde also said that the Palace is coordinating with the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) for the preparation of giving Pacquiao a “heroes welcome” when he arrives on Friday. (pbc/PIA)
