JINKEE’S CHRISTMAS GIFT
By Robbie Pangilinan
After all
the year’s victories and scandals, Jinkee Pacquiao truly deserves a diamond
ring and even more.
She never
left her husband’s side, through good times and bad, so to speak. Her presence
during every fight of the pound-for-pound king adds not only inspiration to
Manny but sweetness to every victory won. Amidst the nasty and ugly rumors that
hounded their marriage when Manny Pacquiao was linked to a sexy actress, Jinkee
remained strong.
“Para
din akong boksingero, 'pag kailangan, fight,” Jinkee said in an interview. “I
need to be strong for my children,” the lovely Pacquiao queen said.
The rumors
of the alleged affair were brought about by Manny Pacquiao and Krista Ranillo’s
becoming close friends while they were shooting the upcoming film “Wapakman”
where they ironically play adversaries. The issue became hotter when the two
were reportedly seen in several places together, fueled by a veteran actress’
Facebook advice to Jinkee that seemed to confirm the boxer’s and young actress’
rumored romance.
Pacman’s better half is grateful to the
people who stood beside her in this “storm” in their marriage. “Tapos na
'yong bagyo. There is sunshine after the rain,” she reportedly said.
“…nagpapasalamat [ako] sa concern niya sa'kin kahit di naman kami magkakilala
talaga. Thank you sa message mo, sa concern mo sa'kin,” was Jinkee’s message to
actress Gina Alajar in an interview on a showbiz TV program. Jinkee likewise
thanked Kris Aquino for serving as her confidante in this issue.
And although Jinkee herself says that
the rumors between the People’s Champ and Krista Ranillo are not true, she
admits that she was affected by it. But, she remains strong.
The confident beauty says, “Ipaglaban
mo kung anong meron ka. Kailangan walang aagaw. Kailangan nag-iisa ka lang sa
asawa mo.”
Indeed, she is the only one for
Manny. Despite the many scandals linking Manny to several women in the past,
their marriage remains intact, primarily because Jinkee knows how to handle
negative reports for the sake of their family. She says, “Kailangan for my family, for my
children… I will survive! Kailangan maging strong lang
talaga. Test lang ito ng Panginoon sa akin.
I know that the Lord wants us to be together.” She says her love for Manny is
200%.
Even as she is undecided if she will watch the movie “Wapakman”,
Jinkee’s support for her husband is solid. “Hindi naman ako showbiz na tao. Papag-isipan ko pa kung ano
[manonood ako]. (I'm not a showbiz type person. I'm still thinking if I am
going to watch),” the charming wife, who would rather spend time on the
family’s many businesses, said.
Besides her boutique in General
Santos City, the Pacquiaos recently opened a souvenir shop called Team
Pacquiao at Robinson’s Place. She also owns several coffee shops. She is the mother of
four little kids—Jimuel, Michael, Princess and Queen Elizabeth. And she is a
sight to behold with her glowing white skin and sexy figure. No wonder she
is the latest endorser of Belo Medical Group’s Smart Lipo and Belo Diet Injections.
Jinkee can be a star if she chooses to, but she wants to remain a private
person despite being married to the most famous boxer in the world today.
Manny was
said to have been upset when Jinkee went to Belo for treatments because he sees
his wife as already perfect. After Jinkee’s explanations, and seeing that the
treatments turned Jinkee into a sexier and lovelier woman, Manny has even agreed
to pose with her for the Belo billboards.
For all these, Jinkee deserves more than the diamond-studded ring which
Manny reportedly gave to Jinkee as a “peace offering”. Jinkee says, “Nagulat lang ako
na naisip niya magbigay at happy ako na may gift ako this
Christmas.”
Jinkee Pacquiao is indeed like a diamond—beautiful, timeless, a rare
find. And Manny Pacquiao is definitely lucky to have her. #
