A hero's welcome awaits Filipino boxing champion and Sarangani Rep. Emmanuel "Manny" Pacquiao following his latest win over Juan Manuel Marquez in Las Vegas Sunday [Manila time].
GENERAL SANTOS CITY, The Philippines, Nov 15, 2011 (AsiaPulse via COMTEX News Network) -- The ground works on a 200 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant
the Philippine town in Sarangani are set to begin within the
next few weeks, with a formal groundbreaking slated for
November 25, a company official said.


In Sarangani, Governor Miguel Rene Dominguez said they have started making preparations to welcome Pacquiao home, government-run dzRB radio reported.
Joseph Nocos, Conal Holdings Corp. vice president, told
reporters the groundbreaking for the US$450 million coal-fired
power plant, which will be pursued by affiliate Sarangani
Energy Corp., is a step to making the project a reality.


Dominguez indicated the welcome may coincide with the MunaTo Festival on November 25, the report added.
"It signals the start of the actual implementation of the
[coal-fueled plant] project," he said in a press briefing.


The GoSarangani.com website said MunaTo is a cultural festival commemorating the “First people" of Sarangani province.
He estimated the construction of the first phase, which
includes 100 MW, would be completed in 36 months or later in
2014, at a time when Mindanao is projected to have a supply
shortfall.


"Sarangani was made into a separate province only in 1992, however, the findings of the anthropologic burial jars in Maitum proves community life as early as 500 BC. This is a festival that embraces the different Indigenous People of Sarangani and their heritage," it said.
The second phase, which would cover the remaining 100 MW,
would follow after an interval of 12 months or a year, Nocos
said, adding the coal needs of the power plant will be imported
from Kalimantan in Indonesia.


Pacquiao registered the latest victory in his storied boxing career with a win over Marquez in Las Vegas.
Conal Holdings is 60 per cent owned by the publicly-listed
 
Alsons Consolidated Resources (PSE:ACR) and the rest held by
