MANILA, Philippines — Kia playing-coach Manny Pacquiao missed the Sorento’s game against the NLEX Road Warriors on Sunday due to Typhoon “Ruby” (international name: Hagupit).
Pacquiao’s flight from his hometown General Santos City to Manila got cancelled Sunday as Typhoon Ruby batters the Visayas islands.
More than a hundred flights had already been canceled due to the typhoon.
Pacquiao was supposed to play his third game in the PBA. Kia, which is already out of playoff contention, currently has a 1-9 record and is looking to end the conference on a winning note.
