LA Galaxy will be in Manila in early December to play Philippines men’s National Team on December 3 This, after the formal contract signing between Philippine Football Federation (PFF) president Mariano "Nonong" Araneta and Galaxy president Tom Payne took place earlier today at a press conference in Makati.The match will be the second leg of the Galaxy's tour of Asia and Australia, coming after a still-to-be-determined fixture on November 30 and preceding the finale in Melbourne on December 5.The Galaxy will fly in on December 1, which will give them enough time to conduct a clinic for underprivileged kids of the Bantay Bata Foundation. The clinic will be held on December 2 from 2 to 4PM at the Rizal Stadium
"Yes, the full team will be here," Payne said. "We understand what this is about. We understand we have some famous players, one in particular, and our entire team will be on the field as they always are."
"We organized everything in hopes that we're gonna win a championship," Payne explained, "so we're not traveling till after the MLS Cup, which is our championship, and that's November 20th. It's actually at our stadium, so we have homefield advantage.
"We thought that convincing win against Nepal was good enough, but here we are served with an early Christmas bonus to have a chance to play against a team like the LA Galaxy," Palami said. "And I'm sure it's not just David Beckham. I've received a lot of e-mails inquiring about Donovan and Robbie Keane."
