Pacquiao and wife Jinkee waved to well-wishers in an Ford F-150 truck. Motorists honked their horns. Schoolchildren rushed out of their classrooms. Workers left their offices. Pedestrians stopped in their tracks. It was a reception fit for a king.

But I expect the wait to be over soon. The President is busy setting up the framework for her Administration and sports will surely be a major component in her overall program. Remember her ascension to power wasn’t planned. So let’s be patient.

President Arroyo is intelligent but is no nerd. She likes sports and plays golf. So does her husband, Mike.
