| 2nd Pacquiao Elorde Awards Night on March 20.2025 at Okada, Manila |
It's that time of the year again when the Pacquiao-Elorde Awards recognizes the excellence of our boxing champions. This year, the main awardees are the two current world boxing champions from the Philippines—IBF World Minimumweight Champion Pedro Taduran and WBC World Champion Melvin Jerusalem. The awards night will also honor all boxers who have won national and regional titles, as well as Olympic athletes, including Nesthy Petecio, Aira Villegas, and Carlos Yulo.
A Night of Recognition and Prestige
Led by Liza Elorde and the Elorde Family, the awards night—formerly known simply as the Elorde Awards—is now on its second year of collaboration with Manny Pacquiao. With this partnership, the event has expanded its recognition to include other sports. Among the distinguished guests gracing the event are Manny Pacquiao himself and DILG Secretary Benhur Abalos.
