HOLLYWOOD ? Manny Pacquiao?s eight-year old, yet precocious, little Princess has made an appeal to undefeated American boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
?I love my daddy so much. Please don?t hurt him especially his face,? Princess said.
It was Princess who kept egging on his dad to fight Mayweather, Jr.
Just like his dad, the little girl dislikes Mayweather for his arrogance and flashy character.
Mayweather was charged with a host of felony offenses ranging from beating his former wife to threatening his children. He pleaded guilty and was meted out a 90-day jail sentence in December 2011.
?Our dad has been so loving and good to us. He loves our mom so much. We thank them both for showing good example to us,? Princess said.
Pacquiao claimed that among his five children, Princess, the third in a brood of five, is the sweetest.
?They are all close to me but Princess is the closest. She?s so sweet,? Pacquiao bared.
Princess said she shudders at the mere thought of seeing her daddy getting hurt.
?That?s why we are not allowed to watch him fight. We?re still young and it?s not good for us to watch a brutal sport like boxing,? Princess revealed.
Aside from her gift of gab, Princess has manifested unusual mental prowess despite her young age.
She wants to be like her mom when she grows up.
According to her, it?s good that their family prays a lot ? about three to four times in a day.
?Praying makes us stronger and brings us closer to one another,? she said.
She admitted being teased often by her elder brothers, Jimuel Emmanuel and Michael Stephen.
?Sometimes I cried because my brothers are teasing me. But I love them so much no matter what,? she said.
She?s praying hard that God will protect his dad and crown him with victory come May 2 during the historic fight.
?I rejoiced when my dad won and I cried a lot when he lost. He?s fighting for our country and the Filipino people. He will do his best to win the fight to make us all happy,? she said.
