Eric Ricafort of the DFA, Visa Department made the assurance by saying his staff is working double time to ensure the arrival of Senrima by Monday.
"Were doing our part on this matter. Siyempre, karangalang din ng bayan ang nakasalalay sa labang ito ni Manny (Pacquiao), and my staff is following up details from the Embassy in Osaka," said Ricafort.
The 31-year-old Senrima failed to arrive last Sunday, due to visa problem. Though he was born and raised in Japan, he still holds a North Korean passport.
"Were working on it and probably within this week, tapos na," added Ricafort.
The 12-round encounter presented by San Miguel Beer will be for Pacquiaos fourth defense of the WBC International Superbantamweight crown.
