Pacquiao, 35, is to debut in the PBA later this year as the league's oldest rookie and as the team's playing coach.

A separate report on Bombo Radyo said other guests expected at the event included Pacquiao's fellow lawmakers from the House of Representatives.

Pacquiao's wife Jinkee, the province's vice governor, had said the dedication rites would be simple.
