/ 01:41 AM June 24, 2012

A SENDOFF party with a fiesta-like setting will be held tomorrow for the Philippine team to the 30th Olympic Games in London with President Aquino expected to lead  the well-wishers.

The president has been invited to be the guest of honor in the evening affair scheduled at the elegant Blue Leaf in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City, with seven of the nine London-bound Filipino athletes and their coaches gracing the affair which starts at 6 p.m.

“The presence of the president will give our athletes the much-needed inspiration as they compete in the world’s biggest sports meet,” said PH chief of mission and Philippine Olympic Committee vice president Manny Lopez.

Other high-ranking sports officials led by POC president Jose “Peping” Cojuangco and Philippine Sports Commission chair Ritchie Garcia as well as sports backers and friends like businessman Manny V. Pangilinan will also grace the event.
