MANNY PANER RUNNING FOR MAYOR OF NAGA, CEBU
Manila, Mar. 1, 1998 - Daisy Romualdez is getting ready to leave her two kids Danica and Karl with trusted alalays in Manila.
For the next few months, Daisy will be in the thick of the campaign for husband Manny Paner who is LAKAS-NUCD official candidate for mayor of Naga, Cebu.
Manny, former basketball star, was born and raised in Naga and came to Manila only when he went to college.
In 1971, Manny Paner became the best center in the Asian Basketball Championship held in Japan, and the ASEAN Games in Bangkok. He joined the Philippine team that played in the Munich Olympics, the last time the Philippines joined the world basketball championship.
He was a member of the All-Star Gams for 12 years when a slipped disc forced him to retire from basketball.
Daisy thinks Manny has all the makings of a good mayor, as shown by the many years of being a productive fruit farmer in his own farm in Naga, where he returned after his involuntary retirement from sports.
