MANILA, Philippines—Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacquiao arrived in Manila before dawn of Good Friday.

According to reports, Pacquiao left Los Angeles with his family late Wednesday aboard a Philippines Airline flight. They arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2 a little before 5 a.m.

The 35-year-old fighting congressman is headed straight home to General Santos City where his pregnant wife Jinkee and kids are waiting.

“I am looking forward to going home to be with Jinkee and my children as we await the arrival of our baby, Israel. Happy Easter and Passover,” he said in a tweet at @MannyPacquiao last Monday.

Pacquiao is fresh off his impressive unanimous decision victory over Timothy Bradley in Las Vegas, Nevada last Sunday (Manila time).
