If the matter were entirely up to boxing eight-division world titlist Manny
If the matter were entirely up to boxing eight-division world titlist Manny Pacquiao, he wants eight kids as well for each world division he reigns supreme. The Filipino boxing champion has four children with his wife Jinkee, although it is rumored that he has some love children with other women.
Jinkee, who is running for vice governor of Sarangani Province, told presidential sister and TV host Kris Aquino of her husband’s wish. But she did not indicate if she agrees with her husband’s desire.
The couple’s children are Emmanuel “Jimwell” Pacquiao Jr, Michael, Princess, and Queen Elizabeth. The two boys are included in a commercial for a fast food chain the Pacquiao made in 2006.
Since the couple is in their early 30s, they could still bear children. Pacquiao, who is also a congressman representing the province of Sarangani, is a pro-life advocate. He is used to a large family, having five siblings. His taking the Catholic Church stand against contraceptives during the Congressional debate on the Reproductive Health bill has was controversial since Jinkee, in previous interviews, admitted taking birth control pills, but Manny clarified that she has stopped taking contraceptives.
His past extramarital affairs included with a waitress who claimed she has a child by Manny born out of wedlock, and alleged liaisons with Filipina starlets Ara Mina and Krista Ranillo.
Although Jinkee did not disclose the names of the women that Manny was involved with, she stressed that her husband’s indiscretions are a thing of the past after he became a born-again Christian, although the couple has not officially left the Catholic Church but are counseled by Christian pastors.
She admitted being stressed by his past love affairs, especially the last one, but said in Filipino, “Let her live now a peaceful life. Good for her. She is part of the past, and past is past,” Jinkee told Kris.
Jinkee recalled that in the past, Manny could easily get women he fancies using his bodyguards to initially know the number of other women. However, she said even the people around Manny are slowly starting to change also for the better since they notice that their boss is a changed man now.
The couple also toured the crew of ABS-CBN to their mansion in General Santos City, the hometown of Manny.
